A Tale of France at the Beginning of the Last Century. Translated from the French Erickmann-Chatrian by B. Wilberforce Smith. USED to know an old tailor at Saint Suzanne called Mauday. He lived near the fortifications, and we lads used him for his work. He was a bald-headed old fellow, with light gray eyes; and as he sat cross-legged on his table he reminded one of a frog. He had such The little room where the old fellow worked was very gloomy. On the wall hung a few ranged cocks, patched trousers and old goggles. She was a little a little staircase. An old woman sometimes made her appearance; she was so old that she looked like one of those plucked crowns that the peasants of the village birds of prey by a fear of a similar fate. This was old Jacqueline, Mauday's mother, whom he supported by his work. The old woman, bottom of the staircase, mumbling and nodding her head, her white hair hanging over her shoulders. Then Mauday would look at her lovingly, with a mother, and warm yourself in the sun. Just here, in front of me." And, pushing the old armchair to the old woman, the old woman into it and say softly: "Does that make you comfortable? Would you like a cushion for your back?" "No, thank you, Baptiste, I'm quite "Would you like a pair?" said L. Every day the new regiment performed its drill, every day the taverns were filled with people, and every day Nicolas Bibl's tavern, for that was the tradesmen's meeting place, and that was the meeting on Sunday. We met one Sunday, he met two 2 'clock in the afternoon, I saw half a dozen officers in full uniform, and I heard in front of the tavern, and I heard their leader, a tah, well-built man, with dark complexion, broad shoulders and a resolute bearing. "Come on, it's all settled. That is where the old rascal is," he steps, elkling their swings and entered the inven. I had no idea when they meant, but evidently there was a duel of steps between them. They looked in the window. The room was full of men smacking, drinking and playing cards. The arrival of the dragonmoons made it all worse. "What's all this rit-rat doing here? Come, come; hurry up!" Several pushed along the bench, but the did not give dragonmoons enough room. We must have this table to ourselves: a table faced man, rapping the table where Mauday and others were sitting. There will just be room for us, so make a move. We had Bibi and was getting angry. But Mauday taking his glass, turned to Ibari and mild; "Let's go, let's go, let's make us work for them." And he quietly seated himself at the other end of the room. "Oh, he," cried an officer with a sneer, "the dancing master is a prudent fellow. He gives up his place with good grace. Follow the advice of the wise and your Miday now saw that it was with him, and Miday knew that he was a sames of dancing master, had infurited the old veteran, yet he made no reply. He knew that he was a new sew on the table and rose to go out. But that did not仕 his tormentors, who had burst out laughing, and one of them "Tow fellows move heard of La Pointe." "Tow second, browset of the brave, who trace the whole army of the san-cutlets tromble in their shoes. He isn't here by chance, but them seized hold of a deformed carnear burner, named Simon, and said, "You aren't the man, are you? You look like him." The poor fellow alonso, said Mauday, sitting down again. "If I'm the man you want, don't annoy these others. What is the matter with me?" said the tax leader. "You have hidden yourself so well for the last twenty years that no one could find you. It seems that prince Charles is asking you, 'What do you want?' exclaimed the old tailor, the blood rushing to his face. "Well, well; we want to feel your pain." "What are you going to do?" "Ah, you want to feel my pulse, do you? You hear that?" he said, turning to everybody in the room. "They want to kill you." "Ah, you want to remember? The provocation didn't come from my side, but I accept it." "against which of us?" asked the big wordsman. "Against all!" cried Mauday. "Yes, you have all insulted me and I defy you all. I'll find a couple of old veterans for my witnesses, and we will see one another. Putting on his old hat, Mauday went out without even a glance at his persecutors. But he was no longer a melancholy old tailor; his eyes faded fire, and he was like a wild beast roasted up from his writhing its teeth from hunger and thirst. Silence reigned in the tavern; the day's cries echoed in her wish. The day for the duel came. I shup it on the shop and my wife would take a walk. Ten minutes later we the tree burgling into the garden, the garden by the Baste gate, glad to breathe the fresh air of the fields and see the tree bursting into bloom, especially admiring our violets and tulips. The sun was gliding on the hillside, the sun was gliding on the hillside, the calm freshness of spring breathed over the land. We had just found a bird's nest in our garden and Josephine was coming to see us. The mother bird, as she flew from branch to branch over our heads, made us move away from As we moved, I caught the faint sound of steel clashing in the distance. 'But my wife heard no sound. We entered the room, where there was to tell us there while I went to order some slips from the gardener who lived up the road. Then I hurried through the plantation and found a man who took it. It grew louder at each step. Yet imagine my horror when, peering over the hedge, I caught sight of a tall form lying prostrate on the ground, dark-faced officer, his mouth full of blood, his glassy eyes wide open, his soldier's coat lying beside him on the grass. The others had moved on a few paces and were continuing the fight. No one thought of the dead. As I drew near, I saw the hedge, he injured a sudden exclamation: "Ah! " That's number two! a mocking voice Looking through the roiling, I saw another prostrate body and several figures bending over it. Mauday in his shirtless coat, with his hands clasped face had an expression of ferocious joy, and suddenly he burst out: "Come, come, come." He came from a company that had taught enough. Let us have another one; the best of you The quickest, the most skillful! There, that one there," said he, pointing at the company, the master master. But this one did not seem particularly anxious. "The best way is to cast lots" said he, "to get the most from the one he had used in Bibb's tavern. "Why," said the old tailor, "what do you make so much fuss about? You certainly want to be the master, and now my turn to choose you." "No," said the fencing master, "casting tots is the regular way." lots is the regional way "Well, then, hurry up! I'm just warm and I don't want to catch cold. There was a tainted irony in the story. He was a teacher, his wife. His two seconds, both of the old veterans, looked on completely. The others grouped together and he turned to the very one whom the tailor had chosen. He turned as pale as death and slowly drew off his coat. He was the brother of his brother officers, "be on your guard. You saw the kind of thrue he made." "these arrest the only ones. There are dozens of others. In the Old Thirty-second we used to invent two or three days every morning before we went to mast." They took up their respective positions and they took up their respective positions every morning before we went to mast. They took up their respective positions and they took up their respective positions every morning before we went to mast. As the folks came in contact, he caught my eye and a smile fitted across his face with witness his skill. But overpity, I cried out: "he doesn't kill him! He too, a mother! A mother who loves him, as yours loved you. Father Mauday, for the sake of your mother, Jaqueline The folks played lightly in the air with an omnious clicking. A frown darkened on the face of the old tailor; his jaws were tightly closed. He filled me with terror. Yet twice, having parried his antagonist a thrust, he had refused to take the opportunity of running him through. He pushed him on the arm, and said brusquely: "That will do for you--don't try it again. Let that be a lesson to you!" His expression was so softer. The escape so easily, and one of the seconds bound up his arm with a handkerchief. As for Mauday, he was still there, waiting. "Well," said he, "who comes next? There'll plenty for everybody." said one of the officers. "You think so, do you?" replied the tailor, who said that I may not be satisfied, that I don't leave my regular routine for such a trifle. I might well say that when five old men I am with you old man—for I am an old man—you ought at least to sustain your insolence to the end. But be off with you. We will call them. They are still as good as thirty-second, and bear in mind that those old dogs are still as good as any of your dandles—their teeth are sharp. They were followed by their seconds. They were furious, but their rage did not go so far as to demand further satisfaction of the old man. They were concerned by their two bodies remained on the ground, and the wounded man went away, leaning on a comrade's shoulder. Mauday picked up his comrade and concernedly met him, I said: "Thank you, Father Mauday." He turned round at the sound of my voice attached his hand over the edge, "Still there, Monsieur Antoine? My faith, but that third one owes you all. I have trunned him like a chicken." Together we went to the commandant and explained the reason when I which I "It is lucky for you," said he, "that this respectable tradesman was born in the city of London, and the whole mob of sass-cullotter and Gonnamartis aren't worth a run.

If you are where the sun is good and hot, you may wash the cereal down on the roof or grass and empty the oatmeal or rice on the roof. For short time you can keep off. If not the sun, place the material infested in the oven at a moderate degree of heat. Care must be taken not to leave it to a warm oven.

When a barrel of flour becomes infested, put a teacupful of the chemical in a pan on the top of the barrel, and leave for a day or two. Sterilizing Vegetables. As a matter of fact, all vegetables which we are accustomed to eat raw are delicious when cooked, but if one prefers the raw vegetable it is the simple trick to sacrifice it. A mature汁液 of boric acid kept in a fruit jar on the kitchen table will insure a sterilized head of lettuce. Dilute several of solution with one water, and after the lettuce has been freed from gill, dip it into the antiseptic bath. Thus rinses increase with cold water, wipe dry and serve.

Let this dish be served in a large dish of pepper, a tablepoonful of butter, let it stand till the butter is melted and serve. French make a delicious dish by boiling young, tender peas in a little water, adding a tablespoonful of butter. A head of fresh, clean lettuce is set in with the peas and allowed to steam thoroughly. Then add the butter to a heated platter, a little milk added to the peas mixed with a teaspoonful of flour. When this comes to the boiling water, add the butter over and around the lettuce and served. Colorado Desert Blossoms.

Terrill, of Georgia, at the annual banquet of the Georgia Society of New York, last week, made an eloquent speech: a very eloquent speech. It was very pleasing, in some parts, to read; and, being the son of a highly honored Georgian, enjoyed certain portions. But there was the part we did not enjoy, as follows: "Withholding nothing from any inferior race that may be, or that may hereafter come amongst our people, in the way of all the essentials of life, liberty and property, and a full meed of justice in all matters relating to their well being, we should educate our children to be aware that the best and most enduring Americanism is founded upon the unyielding rock of Caucasianism. The best way to add to our country's strength is to inculcate loft ideas of superiority, just as the surest way to encompass our land in doubt, and strife, and violence, is to instill a sense of equality. No more fatal blunder can be made by any state or section than to attempt interference with the peace and progress of its neighbors, or by that species of philanthropy which mistakes amelioration for elevation. The standard of greatness will always crumble when its votaries attempt to overthrow it. We were designed and set apart, by natural law, for an inferior civilization." We did not enjoy this much on account of the utter falsity of the statement that nothing is withheld from any inferior race. We cannot undermine the man of reason of intelligence can fatter himself into the belief that he speaks the truth in making such a statement. We have before us at this time a letter published in the Atlanta Constitution, over the signature of a native of New York, who is worthy of as much consideration as Gov Terrill's, and he says in sub- stance, the condition of the Afro-Americans (surely one class of American citizens referred to by Gov. Ternill as inferior) is worse than it was fifteen years ago. That there is no such amity between whites and Afro-Americans as existed fifteen years ago, that they were daughters, did not then have to ride in "Jim Crow" cars, little better than stock cars, as they do now; he says the Afro-American has been deprived of his franchise, that an Afro-American's salutation is not responded to as they pass along the streets; that they are threatened with the taking of their property, that an Afro-Americans for educational purposes, etc. If Gov. Ternill does not consider this withholding a pretty considerable lot among "the essentials of life, liberty and property" and he also considers this withholding (really not a good starter in the list of things withheld) at the same time full need of care and well being, that he certainly do not wish to live in a state where he is governor. That one human being is sometimes superior to another in one particular, or more, anybody will admit; but we cannot admit that superiority can justly be claimed or actually exist in this country, where there are so many people who are not Caucasians, it certainly sounds strange for a citizen to advocate teaching his children that one cannot be a good American unless he happens to be a Caucasian. If Governor Terrill imagines that he can teach his child that he is inferior to any other child simply because of a difference in complexion, he would better banish the idea. Some of the Arfo-Americans endeavor to inculcate in the minds of their children the importance of honesty, truthfulness, integrity, virtue, bravery, manliness, charity, tolerance, justice, Christianity, forgiveness, brotherly love—as taught by the lowly Nazarene. The treatment accorded to the Arfo-Americans both South and North, by Caucasians, is not at the time when they have a tendency to promote harmony. And it does seem that harmony is just what is not wanted by these prejudiced Caucasians. We are inclined to the belief that our white brothers are alarmed at the time when we supposed ignorance was used as an excuse for not according many of the rights and privileges that we denied, but now that we are getting so much education they begin to be scared and to boast of Caucasian advantage or well being. Imitation the sin of Arfo-Americans does one human being can consider it a virtue to do all in his power to prevent any of the things which he considers necessary to his happiness or well being. Imitation the sin of Arfo-Americans does his very best to imitate his Caucasian brother is evidence that he knows a good thing when he sees it, and does not consider anything too good for him. This ought not make his brother angry but it does not make him aware that his Caucasian does his milk of human kindness within him to see others happy. If it is evidence of superiority to be cruel, unjust, indifferent regarding the feelings, the God-given rights, the aspirations of others, and instills in him the best of all human beings to the highest plane of civilized, Christianized happiness on earth, we must do all in our power to make earth a hell for them, then we thank God we are not superior. To do unto others as you wish, we must do all in our best evidence of our enjoyment of the same things. We do not begrudge the Caucasian the enjoyment of everything he now enjoys, or hopes to enjoy, except depriving us of our enjoyment of the same things. Advance sheets of the annual report of the United States Bureau of Education are in press. Regarding the education of the Afro-Americans, the report will say: "The estimated number of children in the South between five and eighteen 1900-1901 was 8,698,888. Of this number 5,964,665, or 68.57 per cent, were Caucasian and the school year 1900-1901 was 8,698,888. Of this number 5,964,665, or 68.57 per cent, were Afro-Americans. The enrolment in the white public schools was 4,268,877, or 71.57 per cent of the Caucasian school population, while the enrolment in the Afro-American public schools was 1,564,564, or 27.43 per cent of the Caucasian population. The average daily attendance in the white schools was 2,812,758, or 65.89 per cent of the Caucasian enrollment, and the average daily attendance in the Afro-American schools was 377,192, or 62.46 per cent of the Afro-American enrollment. This does not show who had for the Afro-Americans who are the working class, and in many instances very poor. The Southern newspapers are interpreting Secretary Root's speech before the Union League Club of New York to mean that the Northern people acquaintance in the Southern propaganda of a state government with the position of that section, but a careful reading ought to convince any fair-minded man that no such meaning was intended. Secretary Root simply stated the case as it really exists. He did not say that the people in the state are the majority of the Americans are not. Ten millions of Afro-Americans are not satisfied with the existing conditions and they must be reined with. Being a family man and thoroughly being a member of the living of H. & H. Co., it is with much pleasure that we learn from an article in the Iowa Bystander, published in Des Moines, that Mr. R. N. Hyde, an Afro-American resident of that city, is the patron of the famous soap, and moreover, the Electric Carpet Cleaning Co., that turns out over a thousand yards of beautifully cleaned carpets per day. It seems that the confederates are in favor of pensions for ex-slaves. The Afro-Americans of this country would rather have the full recognition of their rights as citizens, than millions in pensions for ex-slaves. We do not impound impaired troopers this move. If ex-c confederates even profess to want it there's nothing in it of real benefit to Afro-Americans, sure.

He was a man in for hunting and fishing with west and energy, and used them, and knew their history, and he was quite as enthusiastic about them, and says the author: "Probably nothing is so characteristic of the man on his literary maniacs, which tells of the vast literary plans of his master." The great author of all the fountain illusions found alluring themes on every side. The plans floated easily in the massive head, the tension and the sacrifice of the world that would have been waiting. He loved too well to feel his power over men, and to get back to his wife. He could put forth a ghost's strength for an hour or a day, but he had no endurance of the writer of literary maniacs. --- THE NIGHT SIDE OF LONDON "The Night Side of London."

Laybourn, of Duluth, and Fenton G. Warner. Hon. Marcus D. Munn acted as toastmaster. Among those present were: H. B. Howard, Dr. O. D. Howard, Geo. James, R. C. Minor, G. J. Charleston, J. H. Dillingham, W. T. Francis, F. D. Parker, E. P. Wade, S. R. Walker and J. Q. Adams. Archbishop Ireland was the guest of honor at the Lincoln Club banquet at the Auditorium in Chicago Thursday. His address on Lincoln was grand. One of the most pleasing portions was as follows: "The republic is what she is because she has vitally remained what Lincoln intended her to be, what Lincoln had her to be, a government of the people, for the people and by the people. This is what she must remain if she is still to live and reign. The flag must mean equality before the law in civil and political rights. It matters not what a man's place of birth, what his religion, what the color of his face, if he is an American citizen, the laws of the land must shield him, the favors of the land must flow upon him. To announce, for instance, that the citizen who is black must not aspire to a political office, must not approach the ballot box, is to战 against American institutions. To hold populations in perpetual tutelage, whether on our immediate continent or in islands beyond the seas is to set aside Lincoln's principles." ORPHEUM SHOW At Grand Opera House, St. Paul. At Grand Opera House, St. Paul, Manager Hays has secured for the Grand Opera House next week the most meritorious and greatest combination, "Orpheum Show." This company was organized by the Orpheum Company, the greatest of all vaudeville enterprises, controlling the theatres in every large city west of Cleveland extending to the Pacific coast. Among the artists engaged for this company are McIntyre & Heath, in their new creation "The Man from Montana," which contains more genuine Negro comedy, if such thing were possible, than their famous "Georgia Minstrels." Nick Long and Idaline Cotton will present "The Critic and the Lady," which will give Miss Cotton an opportunity of doing her famous imitations of well known women of the American stage. Nat M. Wills, the funny tramp, will have a budget of fun and parodies. Migonette Kokin, the singing and dancing comedian, will present something entirely new in the way of an electrical dance. The scenery and electrical effects used in this act is said to be the finest ever produced for a vaudeville act. Rawson and June, the Australian Boomerang Throws, certainly present a novelty in every sense of the work, the like of which has never before been seen in America. This is easy to believe when it is understood that the act consists of throwing boomerangs over the heads of the audience and having them returned to the hands of the throwers on the stage. For this engagement, which is their first appearance in America, the Malanit Trio furnish the musical number of this excellent bill, and Purcell and Maynard in their operatic travesty go to make up one of the best vaudeville shows that will be seen in St. Paul this season and is an example of the possibilities in vaudeville when expense is not taken into consideration. PLAN OF COUNCIL ORGANIZATION the Eve of Leaving the Country. To the Officers and Members of the National Afro-American Council: As I shall leave the United States shortly for the far East, to be absent perhaps six months, my last thought in doing so is the Afro-American Council and its future well-being, as the animal object is the preservation and proper defense of the civil and political rights of the Afro-American people. My best thought, sympathy and effort have been devoted, during the past twelve years,—rating from the organization of the National Association of the Animal Object to the paramount necessity of effective race organization for mutual protection and defense of civil rights and mutual interests. Effective organization is the only supreme power in modern society. The greatest misfortune of the race has been its refusal to recognize and live up to this principle of human rights, and depended too much upon others to do for us what we could and should do for ourselves. Mankind is selfish by nature and the enforced conditions of life; and the man or men who neglect their own interests will find themselves unable to busy to attend to them for them. What is everybody's business is nobody's business, is a faithful old saw. The main difficulty with and drawback to the National Afro-American Council today is that it has no subservient role to the interests of the people do not belong to it or support it with their sympathy and money. Its annual conventions are delegates representing business and composed of fraternal delegates and professional interests, who are willing to take part in deliberations of the convention and who cease to be active members when the convention adjourns sine die. The official board of the organization really constitutes the only membership of the national Afro-American Council of one annual convention to the assembling of another; with the exception, of course, of the state council in California, which has changed from the Afro-American League of California to the Afro-American Council of California since the adjournment of the National Council, at St. Paul, last August. No organization constituted as the National Afro-American Council is today, as to its basic membership, can do the important work mapped out by its founders, and believing that my action in this matter will be approved by the next annual convention, and hoping that it will result in a basic membership of the council, and basing my action primarily on Article VI of the plan of state organization of the constitution, the National Afro-American Council, I submit the following plan of local organization: 1. Ten persons shall be competent to organize a local council circle to be offered as provided for in Article II of the by-laws for local organization the local council, and to provide ten persons, such local circle to be entitled to one delegate in state conventions upon payment of assessment provided in Article XVIII of plan of state organization and to one delegate in annual National Council conventions upon payment of the tax provided in Article III, section 2, of plan of state organization and to the National Afro-American Council. 2. Women may organize separate local circles upon precisely the same conditions prescribed for men in specification 1 herewith. Women may organize a state council, as provided by Article IX of the national constitution. I sincerely hope, in every community where there are ten persons congenial to each other and interested in the work of the work, once organize a local council circle. I am reasonably certain that the women of the race will take hold of the work. When the council meets next year at Louisville there should be at least five hundred circles reported and represented. William A. Pledger, first vice-president of the National Afro-American Council, is hereby authorized to act as president during my absence. T. THOMAS FORTUNE, President. CYRUS FIELD ADAMS, Secretary.

THE CILL BEFORE CONGRESS TO PENSION EX-SLAVES Is Indorsed and Resolutions are Passed by Ex-Confederates of Birmingham, Alabama, Heartily Recommending the Passage of the same—Mirable Dicto! Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 7.—Camp Harde, United-Confederate Veterans, to-day unanimously passed the following resolutions indorsing the bill introduced by Senator Hanna allowing pensions to ex-slaves: Whereas, There was a bill introduced in congress this week by request to bestow a pension upon all old and destitute ex-slaves; be it "Resolved, by Camp Hardee No. 39, United Confederate Veterans, of Birmingham, Ala., That we heartily indorse this bill and sincerely hope that we will be able to worthy ex-salves, who are in real need, a pension sufficient to keep them from suffering and want. A most kindly feeling (almost of that comradeship) prompts us to express ourselves in the Southern slave was not the cause, by any act of his own, of the shedding of one drop of blood in the Civil War. On the contrary, he remained on the farms peaceably and quietly laboring day by day without a murmur to feed the cattle. The Southern arm lighting at the front. "Since the war he has been abiding and industrious and the smallest number has been guilty of crime. We feel that the ex-slave and the ex-Confederate soldier will go down in history together in a relationship—the one fighting to keep the slave in slavery; the other by his labors furnishing the meat and appliances to carry on this warfare without one word of protest or complaint from him. We need that two reasons, and for his uniform conduct since the war, we and the conservative Southern people entertain for him a most cordial and true friendship, and sincerely hope that the present congress will give him a pension sufficient at least to keep him from real want and suffering." "Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be published in the New York Herald with a request that other Northern papers copy." The next meeting of the National American Council will be held at Wilkesville, Ky., Tuesday, July 7, 1903. In a recent address, Rev. J. E. Kirby, president of the Atlanta Theological Seminary, said: "The work of the church in the South now is principally among the Afro-American churches and the duty of upkeep of the church is progressing day by day. A struggle for better education is being made among the middle-class whites. The people of the North have no conception of the awful ignorance that exists among country people in the South. In hundreds of the churches the ministers are ignorant of the Bible, nor knowledge of the Bible. While there are five white churches to one Afro-American church in the South, the educational tone of the latter is far the superior. In the last ten years some advance has been made, and ministers are obtaining public education as equipment for their pulpit work." Yét these superior (?) Caucasians can vote under the grandfather clause. Soldiers' Addresses Wanted Henry N.

Addresses were delivered by Rev George Lee, D.C., John F. Tomlinson, C. Leysey James H. Hayes, Esq., Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback and Bishop Walters. A musical and literary program was rendered by prominent local artists. The public press of the country contained inaccurate and misleading reports and misleading statements given out were ridiculous—for instance the story that the Executive Committee planned an "office trust," to pass upon the fitness of Afro-American applicants for public office. The committee was hinted at a meeting of the Executive Committee. The National Afro- MEXICO B. 1. Chorus-What's that you said? Hold up your hands! Kill him! Hang him! 8. —mash them with this mallet, and— American Council is not in the office brokerage business. Its central thought is the upifting and development of the Afro-American people. The National Afro-American Council stands for law and order. The battle of the race must be fought in the arena of public opinion, with skill, courage and intelligence, and must be persistently waged, and must be creatively created, which will accord God-given rights to every man of every race. The Committee adopted the following address to the country: ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY. It is evident to the thoughtful among us that passing through one of the most critical periods of our existence in this country. Questions that immediately preceded this address, the eighth of the United States and scarcely to less degree the whole population of the country before. The recorded experience of mankind teaches that in public matters we must be aware of the importance of the liberty and safety of all the members of society. If it be true that the country slave it follows as a necessary corollary that the manhood of no state can with safety be achieved, equal men and women and non-women. A systematic effort has been inaugurated to form a committee for its object the withdrawal of the franchise from the Afro-Americans of that society, and to establish absolute subservience in all the relations of life. Even college graduates and the university professors, and the right of franchise. It has been openly declared by some of the most prominent leaders of the Afro-Americans of the fraternity of the new constitutions to disfranchise as many Afro-Americans as possible and leave suffrage. The effect has been that not only has the Afro-American been disfranchised, but the number of Caucasians, who previous to the adoption of the constitution, have ceased to register and vote, and thus the very foundations of our institutions have been laid insecure. We contend for our constitutional rights to be protected against suffrage which is the basis of the individual sovereignty of the American citizens. We contend for our sovereignty of the whole body politic, has been conferred upon its powers of the Federal Government were the powers of the states, therefore the National Government can enforce the provisions of the we heartily commend the Afro-Americans of Virginia, Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

We submit our protest against the immigration of passengers in Southern states, discriminating unjustly against Afro-Americans, and we insist that travel and providing in return the poorest accommodations in carriage; and we insist that the Inter-State Commerce Commission, by that tribunal, to prevent discriminations in the transportation of American state passengers. We appeal to the Congress of the United States to abolish the several measures now pending therein for the appointment of a commission to regulate the fitness for appointment to office, and the attitude of the Federal government regarding race or color. We heartily endorse the deliverances of our people with references to the fitness for appointment to office, and the attitude of the Federal government regarding race or color. We have imparted new life and vigor to the time-honored rights, and have given hope and inspiration to a people struggling heroically beneath the oppression.

On the arrival of the United States Fish Commission steamship Albatross, which recently explored the ocean to a depth of 22,000 feet, the man of figures has calculated that the pressure of water is so great at that depth that a fish ten feet in length must support a weight equal to a large building.

Men Who Gambled Away Estates in a Single Night The author of the book on gambblers and gambblers mentions that when he first came into the world, in 1750, there was no such thing as a faro table admitted into the houses of people of rank and fashion; that in his childhood people had too much pride to receive tribute from the proprietor of such a machine, and that excessive gambling was not as a rule carried on in private houses, but at clubs, where the "play" was deeper than ever was before or since. One can scarcely imagine that a period than was carried on in the "club-land" of the regency; indeed, play survived in that most exclusive country long after Fox and the wild prince had given up the dice box. The dauntles continued it—Byron, Brummel, Alvanley, D'Orsay—how many score of men I could mention who gambled away the whole of their great estates, won by sword or lance far away in "the dead centuries," or loaded their property with burdens in a single night which would keep their children and their grandchildren poor for years to come! That a young fellow just come into a few great estates, a single night was not deemed worthy of remark, for in those days every one played, high church clergy, bishops and all. One remembers Disraeli's "young duke," who went on playing cards all night and in next day, till he and his companions were sitting knee-deep in cards and the servant in attendance was fain to lie down and snatch a little sleep—Longman's Magazine. REV. MORRIS ON THE RACE QUESTION Smarting under reflections cast upon Afro-Americans by other speakers at the Baptist Congress, now being held in the First Baptist church, the Rev. Charles S. Morris, D. D., of New York City's night's meeting by a fiery defense of his people in language which created a sensation. It was plain, but dignified; warm, but logical; altogether, as able and effective a defense of the race by one of its number as has been heard in the community. He convulsed the audience by saying: "It seems to me that this Negro problem, so-called, is discussed in very much the same way that medicine is administered to a horse. We never ask the horse what the matter is, but we ask what his disease and make him take our prescription. What is the matter with us? Under education our skills are gradually enlarging and our brains are all right; our hearts are in the right place, our lungs are in excellent condition, as you may see if you have been ill. Our aliments seem to be a sort of skin disease, and it has been diagnosed as 'Epidermis mors.' It is only one-sixteenth of an inch deep, but it is the cause of the whole 'Negro problem."

James Tracy, who shot and killed Samuel Smith on the morning of Feb. 1st in his (Tracy's) place of business, was on last Saturday adjudged innocent of blame and was given his liberty. The trouble which culminated in the killing began over a game of cards in which several persons were playing. Smith, so the witnesses say, be- PETER H. came quarrelsome and evinced a desire and intention to run things to suit himself. When reasoned with by the game keeper-he became very angry and left the house, vowing that he would return and "blow somebody off the earth." The evidence given before the coroner shows that he did return, and with drawn recoil commanded Tracy to add hisidding. With hands up Tracy was marched toward the front part of the room, where the safe stands. In an unguarded moment Tracy lowered his gun. This was Tracy's opportunity, and he did not fail to take advantage of it. Grabbing the bartender's gun, Tracy covered his man with it and ordered him out of the house. Smith hesitated a moment and then started to raise his weapon again, but Tracy was too quick for him and fired one shot. Smith dropped to the floor. Tracy immediately took the gun. Smith was taken to Provident Hospital, where he died in about two hours after the shooting. Tracy was taken in charge by the officer and sent to the Staunton Ave. station. Mr. Tracy very much regrets the affair and declares that he would not have fired the shot had he not thought that he himself would have been killed the next instant. Smith was at one time a hack driver with a stand at 31st and State Sts., but lately had been writing policy at 31st and Indiana Ave. Harriet Campbell, age 54, 3922 Dearborn St. Walter Morgan, age 21, 3807 La Salle street.

The story is that many years ago a British cruiser captured an African slave ship in the Spanish main and the slaves were landed on this island in charge of the master-at-arms, who happened to be an Irishman. He taught the blacks his native tongue so thoroughly that to this day their descendants resist with stubborn pernictinia any English lingual invasion. Largest Armor-Plate.

The proper place for it to bend is at the "ball" of the foot—never at the instep. To make it bend at the "ball" things are necessary: the sole must be extremely flexible while the shank or arch must be extremely rigid. Most shoes bend at the shank, thus losing their shapeliness and tiring the weak arch of the foot. That is what makes walking for most women so fatiguing. The "Dorothy Dodd" shoe has a shank that the weak arch firmly. It will not bend. The method of the shank is different from the ordinary—it is sewn and through—making a strong, firm shank than cannot end any other way. It has a sole that is extremely and will bend.
