The Appeal

Special National Afro-American Press Association and Council Edition THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3- Its correspondents are able and energetic. N. A. A. C. Minnesota Historical Society The National Afro-American Council. The Afro-American Council was called into being by the necessities of the people, and its mission is to ameliorate in so far as it can intelligently, wisely and practically do so, the deplorable political and industrial position of a large portion of our brethren, in the South especially, who are living in a shadow of a condition which they did not create and from which they would gladly emerge if encouraged by the Afro-American of the North, who enjoy larger civil and political rights than their brethren of the South. It is the aim and hope of the Afro-American Council, which is neither circumscribed by religious, social or political tests as a condition to the membership therein, to incorporate all existing social, religious, political and benevolent organizations into the body of its membership without interference with the constitutions, rules or by-laws of said organizations, except in so far as they may be willing to be guided in their future course by the great axiom, "To labor for man because he is man, is man's noblest work." In these noble words are com-posed the purpose, aim and object of the Afro-American Council. The uplift and development of the Afro-American people is its central thought and its cherished hope. To do this it must have the cordial and cheerful support and encouragement of every manly Afro-American who has faith in the power and efficacy of numbers and intelligent organization. B. D. B. BISHOP ALEXANDER WALTERS. President National Council. and who has pride in his race and the courage "to do all that does become a man" to give it character, respectability, influence and standing among the native and alien races in this country—who are combining their forces industrially and politically to the prejudice of all Afro-Americans who strive to rise superior to their condition and to assert their rights as men and citizens. The battle of the race is the battle of age and intelligence, and persistently waged until every man having equal rights, whether he be black or whether he be white, shall be an uncrowded king in a Republic of Sovereigns. T. Thomas Fortune, editor of the New York Age, was the first to suggest the Afro-American League, an organization in the interest of the race. This he advocated for several years with the result that a number of local leagues were formed. In 1880 a national convention was called and in response to this call representative men from the African-American League tried in Chicago in February of that year, and as the result of their deliberations the National Afro-American League was born. Mr. Fortune was elected temporary chairman, and in his opening address set forth the reasons which justified the organization, as follows: (1) The universal suppression of our ballot in the South, and consequent "taxation without representation," since the cities, counties and States, where we have undisputed preponderance in the banking institution we have in the main and representation, and therefore no voice in making and enforcing the laws under which we live. (2) The universal and lamentable reign of lynch and mob law, of which we are made the victims, especially in the South, which is all the more aggrating because all the machinery of the law making and law enforcing power is in the hands of those who resort to such outrageous, heinous and murderous violations of the law. (3) The unequal distribution of school funds collected from all tax-payers alike, and to the equal and undivided benefits of which all are alike entitled. (4) The odious and demoralizing penitentiary systems of the South, with its chain-gauge, convict leases and indiscriminate mixing of males and females. (5) The almost universal tyranny of common carrier corporations in the South—railroad, steamboat and others In which the common rights of Afro-American men and women are outraged and denied by the minions of these corporations, acting under ex- plitch orders, in most cases, as well as by common passengers, who take the matter into their own hands as often as they please, and are in no instance pursued and punished by the lawful authorities. (6) The discrimination-practiced by those who conduct places of public accommodation, and are granted a license for this purpose, such as keepers of inns and hotels; and conductors of the theatres and kindred places of amusement, where one man's money, all things being equal, should be as good as another's. The serious question of wages, caused by the main by the vicious industrial system in the South, by general contempt employers feel for employees and by the overcrowded nature of the labor market. This was a terrible arraignment of the South, but it was true then, and it is true now—that is, the conditions are practically the same, although there has been a change in some respects for the worse. For instance, the compulsory vote was abolished that time were acts of the corporations without warrant of law, are now a part of the organic law of the Southern States. The unlawful suppression of the ballots of Afro-Americans eleven years ago is now permitted by legal enactment. The unequal distribution of the school fund has been succeeded, atempting several States to deprive the Afro-American of all educational facilities. . Mr. Fortune refused the presidency of the League, although it was tended to him by a practically unanimous vote. By reason of the lack of interest among those who should have supported it, the League was a failure. In 1896 and 1897 there was a movement started for the purpose of reviving the League, which culminated in its reorganization under the name of the National Afro-American Council, at Rochester, N. Y., in August, 1898. Mr. Fortune was nominated for president, but declined, and Bishop Alexander Walters elected and Mr. Fortune was elected chairman of the Executive Committee, to which office he has been re-elected three successive terms.

The second week of July, from the 7th to the 12th, promises to be one of the most notable in the history of the Twin Cities, so far as the Afro-Americans are concerned. For that week there is the 23d annual meeting of the National Afro-American Press Association in Pilgrim Baptist church, corner Cedar and Summit avenue, Monday, July 7th. There will be two business sessions during the day, beginning at 10 a. m. and at 2 p. m., and a Continued on 3rd Page. N. A. A. P. A. CYRUS FIELD ADAMS.

SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1902. THE APPEAL welcomes to St. Paul the delegates to the National Afro-American Press Association, the National Afro-American Council, the National Educational Association and the Afro-American State Convention. These meetings will bring together many of the most distinguished men and women of the race and all delegates and visitors are thrice welcome to the Saintly City. Says the Charleston News and Courier: "If the Southern Confederacy had succeeded according to the expectation of the men who established it, we could have had, perhaps, not the greatest and most glorious country the world ever saw, but the purest, the freest and the happiest. A vain ideal, perhaps, but we are sorry, not glad, it failed. None the less, we are good citizens and honest men; we will make the best of a bad bargain, and as far as in us lies, make the nation of which we are a part live up to our ideals to the best of our ability." Live down to our ideals would be a better way of putting it, for the Southern ideal is low. The ideal of --- Mary C. MRS. JOSEPHINE ST. PIERRE RUFFIN President Boston Era Club. true democracy is not strong in the South. The success of the Southern armies in the rebellion would have meant the establishment of an oligarchy based on race and wealth, in which the black man and even the poor white man would have had no part. The idea of a country composed principally of men held in vile servitude being the "purest, freest and happiest country in the world" is one of the most absurd propositions ever stated. this world. He was peace named John H. one of the most united Southern Indiana. for ten years, and married over 6,000 co-whom were elopers. ED Some people object to the word Afro-America makes the colored people are foremost. In his recent work, "The Lower South," the author, Mr. G. W. Brown, seeks to place upon the brow of the Afro-American people of the South this rhetorical stigma: "Africa mocks America from her jungles. Still, she jeers, 'with the dense darkness of my ignorance I confound your enlightenment. Still with my sloth I weigh down the arms of your industry. Still with my sinineness I hang upon the wings of your aspiration. And in the heart of your imperial young republic I have planted, sure and deep, the misery of this ancient curse I bear." Mr. Brown's idea is that the illiterate Afro-Americans of the South should be left in their ignorance; he fears that they are acquiring too much knowledge, and it has been said that "Knowledge is a dangerous thing." Mr. Brown is wrong in flinging this taunt into the faces of the entire race, for the Afro-Americans of the South have, during the forty years of freedom, wiped out a greater percentage of illiteracy than have the Caucasians. Mr. W. P. Calhoun, of Greeneville, S. C., is an advocate of the separation of the races. He thinks that all of the Afro-Americans ought to be taken to one of the Western states, be given full control, and be compelled to live there. This scheme is an old one, and has been advocated for years by various Southern gentlemen. One great trouble about the matter is to decide who are AfroAmericans. The so-called white people have associated so much with their black neighbors that it is hard to tell who is white and who is black. The coming meetings of the National Afro-American Press Association and the National Afro-American Council, which will be held in St. Paul, and the National Educational Association at Minneapolis's, July 7-12, will doubtless bring together the largest number of notable Afro-American men and women this country has ever known. The local committees are making extraordinary efforts to properly entertain the visitors, and a very grand time is generally expected. Final judgment has been rendered at Jefferson City, Mo. by the Court of Appeals, whereby Wyatt Ryans, the old Afro-American body servant of the late Dr. Charles H. Bradford, comes into possession of $7,333. Dr. Bradford was an invalid, and for years before hfs death required the services of a body servant. No regular wages were paid Ryans, who sued after his employer's death. A man died last Monday in Jeffer-sonville, Ind, who is indirectly respon- ing of the National Afro-American sible for a terrible lot of trouble in Council next week. this world. He was a justice of the peace named John H. House, and was one of the most unique characters of Southern Indiana. He held his office for ten years, and during that time married over 6,000 couples, the most of whom were elopers. ED Some people object to the use of the word Afro-American because it makes the colored people seem as if they are foreigners in their own country. In many parts of the country the Afro-Americans are treated as if they were aliens or worse than aliens, for aliens, if they are white, are treated with great consideration. JUDGE M. W. GIBBS, Ex-Consul to Madagascar. The Southern papers continue to harp on President Rossevelt's Arlington speech, in which he denounced lynching. Of course, Southern Caucasians do not admire such a talk, but the Afro-Americans, who constitute about two-fifths of the total population, are greatly pleased threaten. There was no color line in Cuba until the Americans came. With them they brought their hellish color-prejudice and there has been trouble ever since. The Afro-Cubans are, however, a fighting people, and it is certain that they will fight to the death for their God-given rights. The Fifty-eighth Congress will be controlled by the Republicans, and without any great campaign work. The people are with the Republican party. In Europe the Afro-American attracts but little attention on account of his color. He is received everywhere without any discrimination whatever. The fall campaign is essentially one of local conditions, and if the Republicans get out and hustle a little there will be no doubt about the result. The Republican party has kept all of its pledges, and there is no reason for doubt or discouragement in the coming Congressional campaign. It is practically certain that President Roosevelt will visit Tuskegee Institute, Booker Washington's great school, some time this fall.

By Maximilian For- Page & Co. $1.50. New York: Doubleday. "Up From Slavery" by Prof. Booker T. Washington is a remarkable volume by a former slave. It shows that a dangerous enterprise at best, and should never be undertaken except by the great men of the slave trade, longs to the class of great men of our time, requires neither testimony nor proof, for it In writing of the place and date of his birth he says: "I was born on a plantation, but at any rate I suspect I must have not quite sure of the exact date of my birth, but at any rate I suspect I must have been a plantation. There is conscious humor in this sentence, a spice of witt, and the delicate sarcasm of his words. The institution of slavery—that institution which was impossible for either himself or Frederick Augustus to know the exact day of birth, but he says that he does not know who his father is, but that he knew that he was a white man.

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."

And why do they all have the same directions. It is therefore with absorbing interest that we read the story of the rehabilitation of the island under the American states as old as 1960. We think the news is the news. He says: "Not less important than cleaning the streets, purifying the harbor and sewers, protecting the water-reserves of the island. But all public works in the public domain are the proper order. He has to do the cleaning of the city from the inside, the work of purifying the buildings of every grade down. Inside thousands of dwellings were in the back of the land, the water could be left to the land. The walls of thousands of buildings were the abiding places of germs of yellow-layer and other infectious diseases." Mr. Matthews then tells of the scientific manner in which the sanitation of the city was accomplished under Major Jno. G. Davis. "Chicago physician of large capacity and large volume of water, that is not one single house in the city of Havana is escaped in inspection of his corps of physicians or issued to conform with the requirements of Major Davis." "Large quantities of major chemicals are a solution of chloride of lime were used." Then come of costs of paint or whitewash. Then followed a vanishing death rate, and the total number of people from its former courage of yellow-layer from its former courage of red light were 100. The next work of great importance performed by the American authorities was of the formation of an honest customs service in Cuba and the abolition of bribery and blackmail. The work of feeding thousands of starving civilians dwell upon by the author, who shows that this was an essential part of the work of the United States in the war, and that done, the sanitation of the large cities would have been incomplete and ineffective. The reconstruction of Cuba by the people of the United States is unique and important to our country, and to our people. Cuba has been taught many lessons of vital importance to her people, and she will profit by them, or sink back into the dark ways of the old Spanish colonies, which remain an independent nationality long. On the 29th of this present month the government to the Cuban people took place. The stars and strips came down in design of the Cuban Republic was unfurled. Esperemos que su bandera quedara siempre la bandera de la libertad y de la libertad. In the Forest. By Maximilian Foster. 150. New York: Doubleday, Page & Clover. In the Forest is a contribution to the literature of our country of positive view. It is the unique contrast of wood-life, wherein the stately deer, the cunning coyote, the fierce and rugged็บรรเลง of the region, but in the virilite and significant speech of nature Mr. Foster has made a distinguid condition. In the�, the ordinary stories of forest, the old, the old change's Jungle Stories, has animals simplistic act of abundance with the imperious law of nature. He plays upon your sympathies by eloquent powers of description and narration in the story of Legs, the coyote transporting the swamp to the coast to the east to furnish in the chased beaches and excitement to men and dogs, one's sympaties and striving to live in the most unsurviving times against hunger and trusting to his own unimpossible human whims from being torn to pieces by the murderer of the pack of hounds at his heels.

H. Henderson, pp. 386, Boston and New York. Houghton, Mifflin & Co. This is the title of a book by C. H. Henderson which has made its appearance this year. The title suggests a treatise on philosophy, and one does not have even many pages in this interesting volume before a discovering original ideas elaborated in a clear, striking and convincing manner. Education and ethics, theoretical and applied, are subjects which have been exhausted by the world's greatest philosophers and publicists, and one does not expect to encounter in our time any new ideas on such subjects, unless from a world-famed thinker, in the class with Aristotle, Plato, Thomas Aquinas, Rousseau, Spencer or Emerson. Mr. Henderson has, however, stated a proposition about the significance of language, which so far as we know is entirely original, and which in our opinion, lays the foundation for a new grammar of great simplicity and strength. He says: "We may say that just as human consciousness is the one experienced reality, so the expression of this reality is to be found in language. Logically speaking we have only three classes of words, nouns, verbs and CHAPLAIN A. ALLENSWORTH. 25th U. S. Infantry. nectives. For convenience of treatment, the grammars name eight or nine. The "nomena" are the names of the nomena of the physical world may be involved into three manifestations, "mathematical language, is the result of experience with language, is the result of experience with language, verb—motion, composition, formation." The author's discussion of cause and effect, youth, the experimental life, the source of power, and many other subjects treated in a clear and earnest manner. WHAT A WOMAN OUGHT TO KNOW?

American Book Company, New York, Cincinnati and Chil- We have never seen a more attractive, and even fascinating, book than this. It is an admirable and highly successful attempt to clothe with flesh and blood the skeleton of geographical facts, and to make the countries of Europe a living whole in the minds of the pupils. It is based entirely upon the recent personal observations of the author, and is therefore up-to-date in all its descriptions. It takes the children through every part of Europe and points out all the most important places and things, the subjects being chosen both with due regard to child-interest, and at the same time to instruction. The whole treatment is in keeping with the progressive and practical spirit of the age, and we can most highly commend the volume to all teachers who are looking for a sensible, sufficient and satisfactory geographical value.

The papers have had something to say about the alleged discovery, by Chicago investigators, of a process for developing a form of a combination of certain chemicals. A stranger who was visiting the stock- parks in that city was shown a laboratory in that city, and asked about it, and was informed that some wonderful results had been achieved by the experiments in that department of chemistry. "Is this where they make animals out of chemicals?" he asked. "Oh, no," replied the employee who was shaken up. "What is where they make chemicals out of animals." Plausible.

For Clerk of the Supreme Court—C. A. Pidgson of Buffalo. For Railroad and Warehouse Commissioner—C. F. Staples of Dakota county. - St. Paul, July 3. The July 3. The Republican state convention yesterday renominated Van Stant by acclamation. The nominee was elected, and before the result were the allies of state auditor and clerk of the supreme court. S. G. Iverson developed surprising strength on the ballot and before the result was figured up, the nomination was made unanimous. His opponents were J. F. Jacobson and Odin Halden. The first ballot for clerk of the supreme court was held. Pidgson and A.J. Everett well grouped with Gish close behind, but before it was announced counties began changing their votes and one of Roses's supporters Pidgson and A.J. Everett nominated of C. A. Pidgson unanimous. The concession was called to order by W. C. Masterman, chairman of the state central committee, who presented the proposal to Senator Nelson an enthusiastic reception. He made a speech concerning an hour or national issue now before the Republic, and the course of his remarks he said: "We have federal and state legislation against the consolidation of parallel and connecting railroad lines, and neither President Rossevelt nor Gov. Merrill have any sense of hostility to the railroads, but from a high sense of public duty, the builders and managers of our western trunk lines have done a noble and very important job, not opposed to the consolidation so much through fear of what these men would do, but they are getting well along in years, and soon we would be able to move a very large consolidation in high dividends than in low rates." The constitutional amendment proposed to give congress power to disband the Senate failed because of democratic opposition. "Under Republican prosperity the surplus of our product over the home demand is invading all the markets of the world while white college students are industrial depression and stagnation. Under the leadership of Washington we gained our political independence under the leadership of McKinley and Roosevelt we have raised our financial and industrial industry. "The currency law of 1900 extinguished the silver berry and supplemented the tax law of 1857 as a factor for the general good. "The administration we were a debt nation under Republican legislation we have become the financial center of the world. "There was only one course—to accustom the session of the Spanish islands, to establish a stable form of government. Any other course would have stamped the United States as a moral imbecile among the nations of the world." At the conclusion of Senator Lewis's recess, we received shortly after 3 o'clock. The committee on permanent, organization organized on James T. Woyan of Minnesota for permanent chairman, and the temporary secretaries were consulted. The work of nominating a ticket was taken up without delay. C. A. Morey of Winnona presented the name of Gov. W. Van Sant and the nomination was made by acclamation. Ray W. Jones was nominated for lieutenant governor also by acclamation to notify Gov. Van Sant of his nomination, accorded the governor to the platform. Gov. Van Sant thanked the convention for his nomination, and reviewed it touch the issues likely to be prominent. Secretary of State Peter E. Henson, State Treasurer Julius H. Block, Attorney General Douglas and C. F. Staples, railroad and warehouse companies were nominated by acclamation. The resolutions committee made its report and presented its platform as had been completed, and after some discussion as to the advisability of a stronger declaration in favor of the Cuban reckorosity urged by President Roosevelt, the committee's report was The resolutions commend Gov. Van Sant for his course against the merger; favor equalization of the burdens of taxes; adhere to the policy of protection; indorse the administration of Philippine policy; favor recompcity with Cuba; urge repression of monopoly; favor legislation against anarchy; indorse senators and representatives in congress; favor elective senate; mourn McKinley; indorse Roosevelt. The Platform. The following is the platform in full: The Republicans of Minnesota, assembled in state convention, reaffirm the platform adopted by the Republican national convention at Philadelphia in 1900 and, if we are their loyal support to its principles. We mourn the tragic death of our late president, William McKinley. As a citizen, soldier and statesman he yielded his best service to his country on the place among the great leaders of the world and is enshrined in the hearts of his country. We cordially indorse the able and patriotic administration of President Roosevelt. We are proud of his many courage, his purity and his devotion to the interests of the entire country, and pledge him the earnest support of the Republicans of Minnesota in all his efforts to continue and advance the prosperity. of the people at home and the glory of the republic abroad. It is therefore the sense of this convention that President Roosevelt succeed himself as president of the United States. The Republicans of Minnesota lament the death of their peorles leader and statesman, Cushman K. Davis, since the last convention of our party in this state. He was a brave soldier, one of the purest, wisest and most trusted statesman, beloved by the people and had won an enduring famie by his illustrious service. We revere his memory and deeply mourn his loss. We congratulate the people of Minnesota upon the patriotic and businesslike administration of Gov. Samuel R. Van Sant and other officials of the state. We especially comment on the conscientious and faithful supervision by the governor of the state institutions. His official efforts have been continually directed to an earnest and upright administration of state matters. Merger. It has been the settled policy, as declared in the laws of this state for a quarter of a century, that competing lines of railway shall not be merged. We believe that the protection of the citizen and his property, as well as the safety of the state, rests in obedience to law, and we therefore heartily commend Gov. Van Sant in his efforts to enforce the laws of this state against the consolidation of competing lines of railway. Taxation. We are in favor of such legislation as will facilitate taxation, and require all persons, corporations and property to bear their just proportion of the government having decided that certain conditions must be met in such legislation can be adopted. we pledge our party to support these constitutional amendments, the proposed amendment increasing the gross earnings to the cut. The Philippines. We indole the course of the administration of civil government in the Philippines islands to the policy of encouraging the participation of the public in the management of the Philippine islands in their domestic government to the extent necessary and order are restored and they demonstrate intelligence, capacity and a desire for such The Army and Navy. We condemn those who continue to resist the authority of the United States, either openly in the Philippines or secretly at home, and to attack our army and navy which have won for the people of the United States, whether upon foreign or domestic soil or sea. Protection. We adhere to the policy of protection. Under our policies, opportunities for labor have been increased and our country has passed from a state of business to one of the most remarkable activity and prosperity. in the history of the country we believe that the responsibility of respect and success, or in other words of Republican policy and success, or in other words of protection. Under this doctrine we have such opportunities as to schedule an office schedule as is now, or may from time to time be required by changing conditions and to hold and extend our trade among Reciprocity. We heartily favor the wider extension of our markets for the sale of all American products. To this end we endorse the policy of reciprocity as defined by President Roosevelt in his annual message to the Fifty-seventh congress when the US is in need of the government. "Our first duty is to see that the protection granted by the tariff in every case where it is needed is maintained, and that reciprocity be sought for so far as it can be done without having a communication to the government." And as defined by our late lamented president, William McKinley, in his last utterance to the paccopie at BuTals when he said: By enable trade arrangements which will not be made, the policy of the country will extend the outlet for our investing. We should take from our customers such as their products as we can use without harm to our own industries and labor. The New Republic of Cuba. We congratulate the new republic of Cuba upon its entrance among the nations of the caribbean. We are also more prosperity and a long and successful national area. We favor reciprocity with Cuba urged by President Roosevelt, by a plan which shall ensure the profitable interchange of commodities, while the country will be more efficient of nations. Help the Cuban people needing assistance, put the chief benefits of which shall not enrich trusts, monopolies or foreign speculators, or which shall not interrupt our home production. Trusts. We recognize the necessity of co-operation in order to meet new conditions in the industrial world, to meet new challenges in the world's markets' but the combinations which raise competition, limit production, control prices, and especially when they raise the prices of public police, and should help them. We favor legislation, national and state, to prevent such abuses. We approve of the sinecure and determined efforts of President Roosevelt, and demand that all administrative officers shall enforce the law in the most vigorous and demandable appellation which shall not be embarrassed or destroyed. Finnance. Our faith in the gold standard and the financial system has been simply justified by the wonderful artery of American industry and commerce, and in the fact that the government every exiting of future government has been Pensions. We recognize as a continuing obligation of the Republic of Chile, the soldiers and sailors whose valor led the life of the nation and those who won glory for the country, as a proper obligation of the Philippines and in China.

Yesterday afternoon Assistant Attor- ney General George Post left for work on the floor of the court on the officers of the Colorado, Philadelphia and Bimetalite smelters, which are also alleged to be in the trust.

THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER Rose in Eight Years from Poverty to Imense Wealth Dunmore Town House Bristol Albert C. Burrage Socorro Palace Patrón Gáliz From the poor debtor's oath to a fortune of $20,000,000 in less than eight years is a good deal of a jump, but Mr. Albert C. Burrage has cleared the leap successfully and to-day is one of the richest men in Boston and head of the copper business in that city. Mr. Burrage is now forty-one years of age. Eight years ago he was strung along on a very meagre income gained by his efforts as a lawyer. But he is one of two things—either a man of destiny or the possessor of great brain power. He prefers to be called the latter. Had any one prophesied that he would become within seven years a multi-millionaire, he would have had nothing but the deepest pity for the prophet, yet the financial romance of this young lawyer reads more brilliantly than an Arabian Nefis. To learn how very poor Mr. Burrage really was ten years ago; one has only to turn to the records of the poor debtors' court for the years of 1891 and 1892, which shows three cases where he had defaulted in judgments obtained against him. Mr. Burrage owes his good fortune in the very beginning to his industrious reading of the newspapers. It was ten years ago that he saw an account of the legal fight in Brookline, Mass., between Henry H. Rogers and Edward Addicks, who had conflicting gas interests in that town. Mr. Addicks, in addition, had a large gas interest in Boston. Being interested in this fight as an outsider, Mr. Burrage looked up the charter of the old Burnage Town-House Bassin Spenish Palace Portland, Co. Brookline gas company merely out of curiosity, and learned, to his surprise, that the company had, by legislative enactment, the right to extend its pipes into Boston at will. Mr. Burrage saw his opportunity. Hoping for much, but never dreaming of all that was to come of that little notice, he made himself known to Mr. Rogers and revealed his discovery, together with the statement that an option for the purchase of the Brookline gas company could be obtained. Mr. Rogers was delighted. It gave him a weapon against Mr. Addicks, and the Brookline gas company passed into the hands of the Standard Oil company. To make matters clear it must be explained that Mr. Addicks had for years been enjoying a virtual monopoly of all the gas business in Boston. The people were protesting against the high prices charged. The contract for lighting the streets of Boston was about to expire and the mayor invited Mr. Addicks to meet him and consider a proposition for a reduction of rates. Mr. Addicks did not see the mayor. Mr. Addicks and the reorganization of the Brookline Gas company were almost coincident. Mayor Mathews realized that the greatest fee to monopoly was competition, and when the Brookline Gas company came forward and offered to light the city for far less than the Addicks offered, the mayor Mr. Addicks was thus pushed to the wall and gladly came to terms in the end. As counsel for the Brookline Gas company and the Standard Oil company Mr. Burrage was given the System Used by Stock Brokers While Trading on 'Change. On the floor of the stock exchange there has been in vogue for years and is still in use a mute system of language by which telegraph operators convey orders to brokers whom they represent. It is done by movements of the fingers and the purpose is to hide the nature of orders from other brokers. The plan is after this fashion: When a telegraph operator receives an order to transmit to a broker he will raise his index finger if the order is to buy at an eighth; reverse it if the order is to sell. Should the operator want to indicate other fractions, each additional finger raises the limit an eighth. The fast clinched finger is the point at which the broker that three-quarters is made it comes to seven-eighths that fraction is made by forming a right angle with the thumb and first finger, and, finally, if the even figure is wanted, a waving movement of the hand is used. This is the system adopted by near ```markdown ``` Holtown. Villa Cottage Made. enormous fee of $800,000, said to be history anywhere in the world. This was the beginning of his Aland-in-like wealth. The Standard Oil people appreciated the worth of so brainy a man to such an extent that they may only invited him to embark on a new venture, to copper deals, but when the Amalgamated Copper company was formed, he was appointed to represent New England the McDonnage in the directorate, a position which he holds to-day. And that is how Mr. Burrage made his millions. He was born in Ashburham, Mass., but went with his parents to California at the age of three years, returning when eighteen years later, he married Hard. He graduated four years later and commenced the study of law, being admitted to the Worcester county bar. In 1888 he married H. Haskell of Roxbury, near Boston, a very pretty girl, of humble parentage, like Mr. Burrage himself, and she made a pleasant home for him on his meager salary and shared his poverty with fortitude. To-day they live in the most lordly mansion in all New England, a super palace on Commonwealth avenue, where he buys a vast cost and furnished with the best that Europe and America could afford. He has a beautiful Italian villa at Cohasset and a palatial home in Redlands, Cal., surrounded by thousands of acres. Here he spends his winters with his family, traveling in his palatial private train, with numerous servants and the costliest of appointment. Mrs. Burrage is a pretty woman, tall and slender, who is as yet bewildered with the vast wealth that has come to her. She has no social ambitions. Her husband loads her with jewels and fine clothes, and she drives about in very splendid carriages. He is as much her lover as ever. They have four children, who, once forced to know poverty, now revel in the superb playrooms and toys and enjoyen in their enjoyment of the fairy-like things that come to them. ly every active broker in making transactions, but to prevent others from following up their orders some have an independent notation device, and will communicate by signs which are known only to the operator and the broker directly concerned.

A Double Application. Rev. Dr. Swallow, who has recently been very much in the eye of the world because of his trial before his fellow Methodists on charges growing out of accusations against the late President McKinley, tells a story about George Alfred Townsend, who over the nom de plume of "Gath." "What does that name mean?" Dr. Swallow was asked by a young lady of his parish. "Why, the letters are the author's initials," answered the clergyman—"G. A.

Eloquent and Amusing Declaration of a Country Attorney in Ohio. When Congressman Tompkins of Ohio was practicing law in his young or days in the backyard state and was winning his spurs he occasionally found it profitable to accept a case in a justice's court in the country. He tells the following story of the argument made by a rural brier before such a magistrate. The case was one in which the plaintiff sought to recover damages from a railroad company for the killing of a cow. During the court of his argument the country lawyer used this expressive sentence: "If the train had been run as it should have been ran, or if the bell had been rung as it should have been rung, or if the whistle had been blown as it should have been blew, both of them did neither, the cow would not have been injured when she was killed." Mr. Tompkins does not state whether the man recovered damages for his bovine. Two Ways to Teach Parrots. "There are two ways," said a bird dealer, "of teaching a parrot to talk. One way is to put him in a darkened room, to sit in a corner and to repeat over and over again the word you want him to acquire. A clever word is a word or a phrase after some four hundred repetitions; while for some takes a week or more. You must keep still in the room. No sounds from within or without the house, save your voice monotonously repeating the phrase to be acquired, must reach the parrot's ear. Some people teach their birds in a well-lighted room, speaking from a place of concern, to a closet or behind a door. This method is not so good, because, in the light the parrot's attention is distracted." The Title of "Doctor-" The title of "doctor" was invented in the twelfth century and conferred for the first time upon Inerius, of the University of Bologna. The first "doctor" was Galleuio Gordeano, who received the nomine from the College of Aoëi, also in Italy, in 1220. —Metaphysical Magazine. "But what does the H stand for?" the other persisted. "That's where he is going when he dies," came from the doctor. The questioner was visibly impressed. "is he such a very bad man" she asked, almost in a whisper. "Certainly not," replied Dr. Swallow. "The H stands for Heaven."—New York Times. One on Gen. Custer. On one occasion Colin Wintersmith met Gen. Custer, and a party of friends. The general had watch of curious mechanism which he been showing to his friends and which Colonel Wintersmith asked to see, Gen.

You are afraid I might recognize," with responded Colin Wintersmith. The poet says that "once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide."

Tributes to the Memory of Departed Loved Ones Are Commonplace Compared to Those of the Past Generations. An old sexton in one of the down town burial grounds was arranging plants in the old yard where he has been for many years. Coddied a bit he talked, and this is part of what he said: "It seems to me that the living of to-day are not quite so affectionate about their dead as their forefathers used to. Leastwise they don't show it on the tombstones. "If you will examine closely you will find on every tombstone in this yard some tender words, 'Here lies the beloved wife'; there, 'At rest in heaven, in the place of sleep in Jesus;' again, 'In loving remembrance of a devoted wife'; just beyond, 'In the blessed hope of a glorious immortality.' "There is a tribute to every one of the dead in this yard. You will find around the corner a monument erected 'To the memory of a beloved amt.' You see it made no difference a long time ago what the kishnisk was. All these stones are not in memory of a husband, or wife, or son, or daughter. "Do you remember the inscription on that monument away on Riverside, where the tomb of the amiable child's tomb? "Erected to the memory of amiable child's is the reading, although few people ever quote it correctly. "You will wander about the cemeteries of New York a long time before you will find an inscription like that. I suppose amiable chienres still live and die, but who ever thinks of saying so on a tombstone after the child is dead? "In the newer cemeteries are many costly monuments and tablets and mausoleums. They are erected, no doubt, as much affection as old stone tombs. You don't find any of the tender tributes cut them which you find here, granting that you have to look pretty closely for some of these. "The beloved aunt isn't anything of that kind to her memory on the modern tombstone. On some of the costly shirts I have seen in the newer cemeteries I read the 'name of the dead, his birth and death. Nothing to the dead, the dead was a father, a husband, a brother. "They say it makes no difference to the dead. Well, that's so, I suppose. But I can't help thinking that it kind o' interests the living. "It makes you think a little better of the world to read that it has remembered a devoted wife; that it has missed a man who has passed away in the hope of better things; that the loathsome man has passed away. "As you pass out through the east gate, sir, you will see a slab on which there is hardly a letter to be de- deiphered. But before the cuttings wore away they read, 'Hic jacet a Noble Friend.' Does any modern stonecutter ever cut 'Hic jacet?' And where will you find a slab or monument to the dead? "The slab's to the left as you go out."-New York Sun. Where Morality Is Unknown. Where Morality is Unknown. "After two years of life in the Quarter Murray, who says Charles Theodore Murray, "who knew French character for 'Mille, Fouchette,' I may freely say that it is the worst place in the world to send a young man or woman if you entertain any hope of meeting him or her in heaven. I have had much experience in the role of journalist and have investigated the slums of London and Liverpool, know the Tenderloin' of New York, and the Tenderloin' of London for downright satanic ingenuity and viciousness and gilt-edence debauchery you must go to the Quarter Latin. For it is here that immorality is accepted as a virtue, and real virtue has no line of demarcation to distinguish it from immorality. No young man or young woman can survive such environment untarnished, and many are ruined for life. That which, like London slums, is repulsive is not danger, but immorality, which is dangerous—and that is what young men and women find in the Quarter Latin." It Is Dogwood Winter A man from North Carolina, who was visiting in Philadelphia the other day during the cold snap, expressed surprise that nothing was said about the dogwood winter. "What do you mean by 'dogwood wintner?' asked his host. "Don't you really know what dogwood winter is?" demanded the man from Hickory, N. C. "Why, we've been having it for the last three or four days. There is always a spell of it in May, when the dogwood tree is in bloom. We've been there all day, we agreeable, cloudy weather, and often a touch of frost. Down our way it never lay, and we call it dogwood winter. I thought the phrase was general." Some Valuable Orchids There are many orchids worth from $2,000 to $4,000 apiece. They grow in the malarial mismaint jungles of Africa, and there are men whose only business in life is orchid hunting. They only gather the roots in the dry season, when they are shriveled and apparently dead. Gathered in the wet season, when they are blooming, the least rough handling would kill them. Some orchids do not bloom till they are eighteen years old. Others grow in the cold and rarified air of mountain tops. No Longer a Slang Phrase. "If there is nothing done," said Senator Warren of Wyoming, during a heat wave that last day recently, "I have a little matter to tell you like to bring to the attention of the senate." And so the phrase "nothing doing" is embalmed in the Congressional Record. It isn't slang any longer—Washington Post. Fine feathers may not make fine birds, but they show up on the bill all right. WHAT TIME INSECT$ COST US. Enormous Money Losses Produced in This Country by Their Ravages. The chinch-bug caused a loss of $20,000,000 in 1871, upward of $100,000,000 in 1874, and in 1887, $0,000,000,000, says Dr. H. C. McCook in Harbor, or the chinch-bug can contain, or grapple on, a troyed $100,000,000 of the crops of Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa, and the indirect loss was probably as much more. For many years the cotton caterpillar caused an annual average loss in the southern states of 100,000,000, while in 1868 and 1873 it grew five-fifths, the most destructive enemy to stored grains, particularly throughout the south, inflicts an annual loss in the whole country of $40,000,000. The coddling-moth, the chief ravager of the apple and pear crops, destroys every year fruit valued at $30,000,000, while its damage to live stock inflicted by its ox-warble, amounts to $20,000,000. "These are fair samples of the enormous money losses produced in one country by a few of the piggy captains of pernicious industry whose hosts operate in the grancies, fields, stock farms and the stock yards of our country. What is the grand total? Mr. B. D. Walsh, one of the entomologists of his day, in 1867, estimated the total yearly loss in the United States from insects to be from $300,000,000 to $400,000,000. In 1890. C. V. Riley, long chief of the division of entomology estimated the loss at $300,000,000. Dr. James Fletcher in 1891, a long-lost assistant to our agricultural products-$300,000,000. In 1899 E. Dwight Sanderson, after careful consideration of the whole field, put the annual loss at $300,000,000." LACK OF CONSISTENCY. Pleasure Driving Tabooed, But Wild Drinking The jewel of consistency is about as rare in Scotland as in other lands, it would seem. As a case in point, J. Fred Burns, of St. Louis, at the Grand hotel, yesterday related an experience of his while staying in the country district of Scotland. "I was putting up," he said, "at a small country house, kept by a woman, a typical Scot, religiously plious, so it turned out. When the first Sabbath came, I was going to the church, so I asked my landlady if she would accommodate me with a team. She threw up her hands in horror, informing me in a dialect that I could not reproduce for you even if I were in a golf suit, that it was impious: to go driving on the Sabbath; she would not allow me of her team. There seemed no way for it, but I should go to the kirk with my landlady and a group of pilgrims. After the service we returned to the church, all (by the way, he was not little). When the house was reached the landlady led the way in by a door that I had not before entered. I went in with the rest, and when we were inside I was treated to the spectacle of my pious landlady dealing out Scotch whisky to all hands, including the minister. I told her there seemed to be a problem, and I went to Lord on the Sabbath day, but the shot passed over her head."—New York Tribune. If Leo Lives One Year It is pointed out that if Leo XIII is spared to see the year 1903, that year will be to him one of quite exceptional interest, a veritable "annus mirabilis." As everybody knows it will be his sill ver jubilee of papacy (elected Pope, February 20, 1878); but more than that it will also be his golden jubilee as cardinal (proclaimed by Pius IX in the Consistory of December 19, 1853), diamond jubilee of epicapacy (preconceived by Pope Gregory XVI on January 27, 1843, and consecrated February 19). Such a triple jubilee, if His Holiness lives to celebrate it will probably be unique in history—London Tablet. Practical: Philanthropy I have heard of a woman in a country town, says a correspondent, who every morning and night fills a bucket with fresh water and stands it at the gate of her little wayside house. Her house is a quiet place, and a mighty good idea it is, for along the road travel many teams and they are seldom unaccompanied by a dog of some sort. In hot weather the canine's distress was often noticed by this Samaritan, and she has adopted her dog, a poor fellow's thirst, because, as she says, "There are no drinking fountains for dogs in this neighborhood." Three Grades of Mankind Henry Thomas Buckle's thoughts and conversation were always on a high level. Once he remarked: "Men and women range themselves into three classes: or orders of engegence; you can tell the lowest class by their habit of always talking about persons; the next by the fact that their habit is always to converse with others; the third by their preference for the discussion of ideas." Odd Customs in China. China is certainly a land of topsy-turdy, and therefore it is hardly strange to find the men wearing skirts and the women womens, the men wearing their hair long and the men acting as dressmakers heart, the men doing heavy manual labor, Chinese bridesmaids are always old women and in China dinner begins with dessert and ends with soup and fish; books are read backward, and the hands of the clock remain stationary while their dials revolve. Bianmack's Appetite. Prince Blasmack was a large eater and always had a more voracious appetite. One day the princess with Bancroft and thoroughly enjoyed the excellent menu set before him. Bancroft noticed his friend twice partaking largely of the first course.

FINE SHOWING OF BANKS OF ST. PAUL. The healthy condition of St. Paul's finances is demonstrated by the abstract issued by the comptroller of the department of national banks of date April 30. St. Paul occupies an enviable position in the matter of increase of bank deposits, the comparison between 1892 and 1897 is the biggest and best business years the country has ever seen, and the current year shows an increase of 70 per cent in deposits, 1892 being $1,45,121.52 as against $2,424.00 in 1891. One of the phenomenal instances of individual growth is that of the St Paul National bank, which shows a gain over the year 1892 of 117 per cent of issuing the latest statement of issuing the latest statement of $2,425,748.30. This is by far the best showing made by any of the St Paul national banks, and is therefore among the other national banks an example is shown by each, the smallest being 40 per cent. Allotleger St. Paul's showing is decidedly creditable and the healthy condition of mercantile affections. TO-DATE DAYS. he address of your last cook? want to know that? ence from her.

The tragic tale of the lovely maid of Verona and her Montague lover has served as the inspiration of countless other stories of a similar nature. The play is the purest and most beautiful type of heroine in distress. Small wonder, then, that the play has endured and remained forever popular, for all the world loves a lover and sympathizes with a maid in love.

Regan Hughston will be the Tybalt, and Mr. Lewis has been highlighted. The east for his Mercutio. The scenic settings will be rich and elaborate, and the entire will be a memorable one. The prices will remain as Romeo and Juliet "the Percy Perse Company" leave St. Paul to finish the summer season in Minneapolis. **BULL CON ALWAYS LANDS 'EM.** When a man is compliended, he man is not swallow it all, but he thinks that is something in it—Atchison Globe.
