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. A beautifully illustrated book, entitled "A History of Dancing," is published by D. Appleton & Co. It is from the French of Gaston Vullier, with a sketch of dancing in England by Joseph Grego. According to the author, a flower of the night, dancing is said to have germinated under the skies of the Pharaohs. Tradition speaks of the rounds, symbolic of sideral motion, circling beneath the stars on the august soll of Egypt. It manifests itself first in sacred sciences, severe and hieratic; yet even then it babbled brokenly of joy and grief in the procession of the Apis. Later on in the course of the ages it became interwoven with all the manifestations of popular strife, reflecting the passions of man and translating the most secret movements of the soul into physical action. From the solemnity of religious rites, from the fury of warfare is passed to the gayety of pastoral sports and the dignity and grace of polished society. It took on the splendor of social festivities, the caressing languor of love and even dolefully followed the funeral train. **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. But there was a fearful morrow to those days of supreme elegance and careless geyty, which, as we look back upon them through the transparent gauze of a century, seem to shimmer with a thousand tantalizing and delicate tints—days like some sweet vision, in which coquetish marquises, powdered and jasmine-scented, smelled unceasingly as the rosy pastels, bequeathed to us by the master of their times. The roar of the revolution broke in upon the dream; kings, womers and pects were dragged in tumbrills to the scaffold, while cannon thundered on the frontier. And yet dancing went on; but now it was the slinster dancing of the red-capped Carmagnole to the refrain of the Ca-ira. Men and women danced around the scaffold, their feet stained in blood; a strange frenzy seemed to have taken possession of the nation. Perhaps oblivious 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. Terpsichorean Art Reigns. Wetting and galoping were practiced in the palace, tall, lean, dark and taciturn; Crecard, of ruddy countenance; Bridid, the graceful; and above all, Pomari, and above all, Pomari, became the kings and queens of Paris and revolution took place in 1844 with the introduction of the Polka, which invaded saloons, drawing rooms, shops and even the streets. 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 Palais royal. Presently Markowski arrived on the scene, chlorified by a halo of traditions. He brought the mazurka. He erected the schottische, the sicfienne, the quadrille of the hundred guards, and the Folly of Dance shook her bells unceasingly from dark to dawn. Dancing still flourished under the Second Empire. The court balls were magnificent functions, but the public balls were deserted one by one and gradually disappeared. The old Closerie des Lilas is transformed into Bulifer, but Mahelle no longer exists. We have the Moulin Rouge still, but it has little of the frank galety of the original public ball. The waltz and the cotillion still reign in our ball-rooms, but modern Greece, more faithful than ourselves to its traditions, retains the candiata graven on the shield of Achilles, and traces of those Pyrrhic dances that led the Spartans to victory. Such, in a general way, is the statory of dancing as it has come down through the ages. 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.

The court of Francis I. was much given the honour of being murdered by Marguerite de Vallois achieved unhappiness.

Henry III. was not the only king who had a taste for masquerading. According donning some ridiculous disguises at times, as is the custom at the German Wirthschafts. "This custom is derived, no doubt, from the ancient Saturnalia, in which the slaves figured as their masters and the masters as slaves. Greatness becomes a burden to the great in their diversions, and to make these freer and more amusing they are glad to lay aside their rank for a few hours and to mix on terms of equality with those they are accustomed to see at their feet in all the circumstances of life. Old Antiochus, king of Syria, was branded a fool and a madman because he mingled with the lowest people in their amusements, sullying the splendor and profusion of his festivals by base conduct and actions unworthy of his birth and rank, dancing with buffoons and actors, arranging his banquets himself, removing the dishes and introducing the various courses. Once, in the midst of one of the most magnificent entertainments ever given, he had himself carried into the assembly rolled in sheets, emerging from which he fancied an entree, figuring a sleepy man with such extravagance that all sensible persons present withdrew, unwilling to witness such degradation. Plancus cut a figure no less undignified when, representing the sea god Glaucus, he donned a fish's tail, and danced upon his knees. 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. Some Brillant Stars. The palmy days of the ballet in England are reckoned to have extended to the first half of the century just gone. Between the twenties and the fifties there was a royal revenue spent in the maintenance of this the fashionable attraction, and there was a host of talent engaged. Carlotta Grisl and Mlle. Tagljonl, familiar names in the annals of the ballet, turned the heads of an entire generation, and Fanny Elssler, who at Her Majesty's theatre was famous in "La Sylphide." Mlle. Cerito performed the same year in a popular ballet, "Le Lac des Pees," invented by A. Guerra. Miss P. Fiori for the last half of the century became famous after generations as Mrs. German Reed. It was about 1850 that the ballet received a new impetus. "Genius," said Sir Augustus Harris, "was alone required to revive the glories of the ballet, and the revelation of that gift in the dancing of Miss Kate Vaughn has made the nearest approach to elevating the standard of the modern art in our own day." This graceful artiste may be said to have inaugurated the reign of the all-popular skirt dance, in which the voluminous gossamer draperies play a part quite as important as the actual steps. She has been succeeded by a host of clever disciples and imitators, among whom may be mentioned Sylvia Gray, Letty Lind, Alice Lethbridge, Miss St. Cyr, Mabel Love, Tosey Linden, and better known on the American stage, Lole Fuller and Cissy Loftus. 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.

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.

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. The origin of some of the more popular forms of dancing are not always easy to trace. The waltz itself, despite the claims of various countries for the honor of its birth, is more or less shrouded in obscurity, although in the form of the popular dance of the present day it is more than a hundred years old. Professionals of the waltz said "incorrectly called the valse a aux teaux (two beats), instead of a deux pas (two steps), it is of Russian origin. It should be called the two-step waltz, because it consists of two steps danced to a bar of three beats the time proper to all waltzes." Continuing, Desert says: "The speed of the dance is not due to the introduction of the waltz by France, or it was first taught by father under the following circumstances: In 1859 the Baron de Menken, an attache at the Russian legation, was taking dancing lessons from my father. One evening the baron was going to a going-on given by the Comte de Male, when foreigners, while the当地农民, had done with some charming Russian ladies. He accordingly asked the teacher to practice the steps with him. Great was my father's wrath at hearing him talk of a waltz with two steps, for this seemed to him a manifest contradiction of the facts of the accepted waltz measure. But the当地农民, when he saw that his pupil made his chase by taking the first step to the first two beats and the second step to the third beat. My father at once understood that the chase was composed of one long slow step and one short quick one. Matier and pupil waltzed together amicably, and the two were so comely and piteous that from that night he aristoo-racy in a body forsook the valse a tron-tms for that a deux pas." 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. Among the latter, however, the Catatan ball and the Neapolitan dances are the most interesting for both parties. The most interesting part is what muscular, as during the performance it is necessary for him to swing his hand, which is raised and rised seated on his hand held level with his shoulder. The couples change partners many times, first the cavalier and then the king, and then the air, saluting her partner with a kick. Spontaneous Applause. A political orator addressed in English a club of Italian voters. To his surprise and satisfaction, his listeners paid strict attention and applauded at the proper places, shouting "Viva!" and "Bravo!" repeatedly. At the conclusion of his speech, says the New York Times, the orator took his seat beside the chairman. He whispered that he was delighted with his reception, and had never spoken to a more intelligent audience. "Ha-ah!" replied the chairman. "Me fix all a dat. Me hol' up one-a-finga, evera man saya 'Hurroh!' Me hol' up two-a-finga, evra man saya 'Viva!' Me hol' up tree-a-finga, evera man saya 'Bravo!'

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.

Charles of McCarthy. $3. New York: American people is a thrilling and insane narrative tale and story. Metlure, Phillip O. A great deal of literature has been published about the reconstruction of the Southern state of the United States, needing the great civil War. It was a period of problems; of hence sectional and the other problems of the international working epochs in the history of the United States for the historical student and the other questions which arose in that time of the two times. The number of one-half centuries of human slavery. Reconstruction had to do with three elements: the first, the second, the third, the second side for centuries, but who had been as distinct socially and otherwise during the second period of the century as though they had been inhabited. The problem was one for Democracies, the problem of the very depths of ignorance to solve, out of the very depth of ignorance. The problem of the first� of the Plan of Reconstruction by Charles H. L. Carthy, 1th. D. (Pa. is therefore a book were one one expects to be made familiar with the following the great Emancipation respecting this condition. The problem of the shapers in this valuable collection has been a long subject of reconstruction discloses on many hitherto obscure incidents in Lincoln's policy of the 1800s. The present period of hostilities in 1800s and throwing the light upon all the great actors and events that stirring and critical period in our country. In writing of Tennessee the author says: "In no part of the late Confederate states the author's name was not more free than in the early country. The group was the most "crackling" the "nesses," and he gives a graphic description of the stout resistance put up by the people of the state. The most prominent men of that part of the state were persecuted, assassinated, and not even into jails, but these outraged and not even offenders. President Lincoln, in writing a letter to Gen. Buell on Jan. 6, 1862 among other things said: "But my distress is that our plan in past Tennessee is being hanged and driven to despise the men now, even are thinking of taking rebel arms for the sake of personal protection. In this we lose the most valuable stake we have in the South." In an following response to the outrages perpetrated upon the Jordan Union people of this section by the Confederate troops and sympathizers. Gen. Buell failed to accomplish the military movements planned by the president as a necessary step to the permanent safety of this Union sentiment, but a genius of Gen. Grant furiously was a solution to the problems of his victory at Fort Donelson, and tireless movements afterwards when he caused the evacuation of Nashville by the Confederate troops. Andrews Johnson was then appointed military governor of the state and thus was instituted Lincoln's plan of reconstruction. The details of which the author gives, succinct and interesting manner. Each Southern state is then taken up, and the plans and policy of the war president discussed length. The volume is invaluable a book. In treating of the plans adopted by Mr. Lincoln for the reconstruction of the state of Arkansas the author says: "Local reverses, however, were not allowed to interrupt the comprehensive policy of the present rule in early in 1864 preparations were made to reform the state's government. This movement, like those in Tennessee and Louisiana, was based upon the Amnesty and Reconstruction Proclamation of Dec. 8, 1863. Even before this step had been taken the president was already moulding the diverse elements into a power that would be recently to undermine Confederate influence in the state. The preceding summer, July 31, 1863, he had written S. A. Hurlbut: "I understand that Senator Lebastian of Arkansas, thinks of offering to resume his place in the Senate. On course the Senate and not I would decide whether to admit or respect him. Still, I should be great interest in the question I may be so possible to take on the very greatest national importance to me of no more than temporary personal consequence to him. The emancipation proclaimation applies to Arkansas. * I shall not retract or repudiate it. Those who shall have tasted actual freedom I believe, never be slaves or quasi slaves again. In a chapter entitled "Cumination of the Confederate States and candid exponents of public opinion in the Lost Chance State," those who were a part of the Lost Chance State's campaign regarding the assassination of President Jefferson Davis that betrayed their section of the Union, that befitted their section of the Union, that insisted written editor ascribe to Jefferson Davis's opinion that next to the failure of the Confederacy, the most severe blow inflicted on Southern interests, Mr. Davis's evile experience by the Union during the brutal reconstruction would have been Lincoln been carried out." UP FROM SLAVERY. Up From Slavery: By Booker T. Washington. $1.50e. New York: Doubleday. "Up From Slavery" by Prof. Booker T. Washington is a remarkable volume by a remarkable man. Autobiographical writing is a dangerous enterprise at best, and should never be undertaken except by the great men of earth. That Prof. Washington belongs to the class of great men of our time, requires neither testimony nor proof, for it is one of the accepted facts. In writing of the place and date of his birth he says: "I was born on a plantation in Franklin County, Virginia. I am not quite sure of the exact date of my birth, but at any rate I suspect I must have been born somewhere and at sometime. There is conscious humor in this sentence, a spice of wit, and the delicate sarcasm of a great man, protesting against the institution of slavery—that institution which had made it impossible, either for himself or Frederick Douglass to know the exact day of birth. Later on he says that he does not know who his father was—but that he knew that he was a white man. My life had its beginning in the midst of the most miserable, desolate, and discouraging surroundings. I was born in a typical log cabin, about fourteen by sixteen feet square. In this cabin I lived with my mother and a brother and sister till after the Civil War, when we were all declared free. He writes a very entertaining chapter on the "Reconstruction Period," and discusses in a very comprehensive and practical manner the race problem at the South. It is however, in writing of himself and of his early struggles that we find Mr. Washington at his best, and note distinctly that patience under adversity, untiring industry and optimism of a rarely encountered character, are the qualities which have made possible the success which has attended the efforts of the man whom Walter Page, editor of the "World's Work" pronounces, "the most useful man in the Republic." Up from Slavay had had a large sale in the United States and in the world. The work has been translated into Spanish, German, French, Italian, Arabic. Being prepared is being prepared in many other languages. boy who at his age of forty has become a world-famous man, 40,000 of Afro-American people is a thrilling narrative although written in simple, lyrical style, two stories the unassuming best-seller of the greatest men the world has ever known. THE NEW-BOW'CUBA The New-born Cuba. By Franklin M. McCormick, New York and London. Harper Brothers. "The New-born Cuba" by Franklin Matthews is one of the very interesting volumes of the old literature in "The pearl of the Antilles" since the Americast元的occupation, which has been given to the public. Much has been written about the peoples, climate and resources of the island that it is not within the range of expectations to find any new light in the world. It is therefore with absorbing interest that you read the above of the rehabilitation of the island under American auspices as told by Mr. Matthews, "Not less important than cleaning the new plants." Harbor and sewers, protecting the water supply, and putting all public works in order to provide a more safe and clean place in Havana, was the task of cleaning the work of purifying the buildings of every grade in town. Inside thousands of dwellings were a black holes in a frightful condition. The new-born club was built in the old buildings where the old people of yellow fever and other infectious diseases. Mr. Matthews is the cells of the scientific manner in which the sanitation of the city was accomplished and the age of large practice and wide reputation, and that the new-born single house in the city of Havana escaped from the unleashed physicians or failed to conform with the requirements of Major Davls. "Large quantities of quicklime, and a solution of the time." Then came the costs of paint or whitewash. Then followed a vanishing death rate, from its former source of yellow fever, but from its former source of yellow fever, by work of great importance performed by the authorities, the installation of an honest customs servant, and the abolition of bribery and blackmail. The work of feeding thousands of starving children, the authorities is dwelt upon by the authorities, but was an essential part of the work of the government, and done, the sanitation of the large cities would have been incomplete and ineffective. The reconstruction of Cuba by the people of our country is an interesting as an example of the humanity of our people. Cuba has been taught the importance of welfare and it remains to be seen whether it can be brought into the dark ways of the old Shishan regime. If he does, she will not remain on the 20th of this present month. The economy of turning over the Cuban government to a place. The stars and stripes came down on the insign of the Cuban Republic was unfurled. Esperemos que su bandera quedara siempre la bandera de la libertad y de la progresa. THE GATE OF THE KISS. The Gate of the kiss. John W. Harding the brown cloth with illustrated cover. Rough edges. Illustrated book. $1.50. Boston: Lothrop Publishing Co. This is a Biblical story dealing with one of the most important wars of judah—the war between Hezekiah, the king, and Semnacherub, the terciter of judah. Jahiel is the one of the conspicuous figures. But the hero is a younger man, a poet of the biblical lineage. A favorite at court is a friend of the king, altogether a fine type of Jewish Sennacherb is envious of Judah's world, and power, and is plotting against Hezekiel, using his olds of actionary idol worshippers still strong in Jerusalem. Naphtail is enamored of one of the best-selling pre-mirators. Mirane, a marvelously beautiful woman, has been proscribed in Jerusalem for playing the part of Ashtoreth at an idolistish place in the town of Jemmu. He has no job to be surprised, while making love to her at a sideworn one of his comrades. Talam, a military officer, has been a real nature and purpose have been revealed by Vashti, one of her servants, his son, the son of his son, who was killed in love with Naphail and tries to save him from the king's disaster. Talmon is killed in the struggle, which ensues, and Mirane is not a man who has been to the world and bears her to his house as his wife. There she has every advantage to continue the plotting against the world, and is given the help of the man who is the man who is the man of the man. Her son hosts defeat the king, and Sennacher is encompasses Jerusalem. Meanwhile, the Naphail has been deathly in a fever, and he is so weak as he is from the world, and he is never a servant who loves him, the true character of his wife. Mirane escapes to Babylon. The king is the son of the son of the Naphail's swears vengeance, and proceeds with the devoted Vashti. The Babylon, where he kills Mirane in the presence of the king, is the most unrequited love for her lord. The most beautiful is the son who has a him, the son of his wife, and is the son of the tortures by entirating a kiss as her last favor from Naphail, when, with a vial of poison concealed in her body, she releases both from the terrible ordeal. It is a story which compels comparison with "Ben-Hur," and does not suffer thereby. It has all the elements of a successful novel. CAPTAIN JOHN SMITH. The True History of Captain John Smith. By Katherine Pearson Woods, $1.50 net. New York: Dobleday, Page & Co. The material for this work is drawn from historical sources on both sides of the Atlantic and many new facts have been brought into light. Miss Woods presents an exhaustive study of the career of the foremost explorer and adventurer of his time. Those who have been disposed to doubt the stories of Captain Smith and say that he, like many sailors, was so fond of spinning yarns that he did not tell the exact truth. He was very well prepared to proof. He has been proved that he really had the adventures he chased in the account of his travels. He cannot have been a bad man, as some claim, for when he died those who had gone out to Jamestown with him said he hated baseness, tuzines, pride and falsehood. That he never sent any one into a danger he was not ready to share. That he was strictly honest in all his denials, and that he loved actions more than words; and he was honored and mourned by all. The writer makes the claim that even the future experience of this country depended upon Captain Smith: "The personed of the expedition (Jamestown) were such that future would have seemed to a modern and unimpossible force of course conclusion, except that they had most happier among them a man who understood almost everything else but the giving up of the which has had the power of the responsibility of John Smith that the survival of the Jamestown colony depended and upon the importance of the Jamestown colony intended the existence of the future United States." The book is illustrated with maps, portraits, etc. DOROTHY SOUTH. Dorothy S. South. By George E. Long. 150 Boston: Lothrop Publishing Co. Mr. Egleston deals in this book with the Virginia state of the great plantations during the decade before the civil war when not to be a Virginian was deemed by them a misfortune. If not a sin of omission, it would be unwell known from other states very much as the Greeks looked upon Foreigners—they considered them barbarians. Mr. Egleston tells us: and he has yet to see the feeling of least for the purposes of his novel which mingles a simple, most, readable love story which a series of pictures of the life and the time and the place that are full of grace. The Nezro characters in the book they are all slaves, were well treated by their friends and with care to because they were very valuable property. Mr. Eggleston's hero is at first something of a prig, but he becomes human very rapidly after circumstances have led him into the current of the plot. There is no drama here, even though the war fills the closing chapters of the book, which is mainly a picture of the peaceful, cultured, conservative, old-fashioned south of the rest.

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.

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.

St. Paul has taken more interest than it ordinarily manifests in a Minnesota event in the forthcoming spring.

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.

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.
