Fatal Diseases most Prevalent in Certain Geographical Divisions—Only Three of Every One Hundred Die of Old Age. The causes of death are to a large extent a matter of geography, declares one of the latest reports of the Census Bureau. A map of the United States has been prepared under the direction of William R. Merriam, director of the twelfth census, in which the country is divided into twenty one districts. These districts have been marked to show the diseases that are most fatal in different parts of the country. For instance, the most fatal diseases in the district in which New York city is located are consumption, pneumonia, Bright's disease, apoplexy, bronchitis and diphtheria. The most sensational deaths occur in the Pacific coast district region, in the State of Washington. This is the only district in which gunshot wounds are reported as a prevalent cause of death. Heart disease, suicide and apoplexy show there the largest number of victims, and the record is held for the greatest number of deaths from alcoholism. Lungs remain appear to be most vulnerable to the Atlantic coast from New York to Virginia and along the Mississippi river from New Orleans to the Ohio river. Tetanoid fever and malaria come far down on the list in mountainous districts, but appear at the top in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Indian Territory. Although only three out of every 100 die of old age, there are a few fortunate districts where old age rival consumption and malaria as the cause of death. California, Adirondacks, Green mountains, parts of Michigan and Wisconsin, and the region on either side of the Missouri river. Childbirth, croup and whooping cough appear to be most dangerous in the districts which have the least population and where, presumably, medical aid is most difficult to obtain. Cancer, heart disease and apoplexy are more to be expected in mountainous parts of the country than in the level districts. In eight of the twenty-one districts rheumatism reaps a large harvest of death, noticeably in the thinly settled states where the inhabitants are most exposed to the sudden changes of the weather. Generally speaking, it appears that the majority of deaths in the country are caused by climatic conditions, which occur in the cities are caused by social conditions. The farmer on the Dakota prairie, for example, needs to guard against rheumatism, but not against malaria or heart disease.—Hearst's Chicago American. "Talk About Wind." "Talk about the wind up north!" said Representative Southard of Ohio, who has just returned from a trip to Texas and Mexico, "it never started compared with the wind in Texas. Why, at El Paso it blows a gale all the time, and the gale is full of sand, Enough sand is blown out of El Paso alone each day to fill the great lakes. "The court records of El Paso show that when the city was building levees along the Rio Grande, which is dry most of the time, but a terror in flood time, one contractor dumped $4,000 cubic feet of dirt the dirt was gone, absolutely wiped up and blown away. The contractor" sued the city for his money and proved he put the dirt there. The court held that the dirt was not there then and refused to allow him any thing. Talk about wind!"—New York World.

A traveler has made the observation that coffee-drinking people are very seldom given to drunkenness. In Brazil, for instance, where coffee is grown extensively and all the inhabitants drink it many times a day, intoxication is rarely seen. The effect is not only noticeable among the natives, but the foreigner who settles there, though possessed of ever such a passion for strong drink, gradually loses his liking for alcohol as he acquires the coffee-drinking habit of the Brazilian. HAD ANSWERS FOR ALL. Paris Restaurant Ingolien in De fense of His Institution. A restaurant in Paris celebrated for its high prices was also celebrated for the ingolienous defense of them made by Bignon, the proprietor. "M Bignon, a red herring at two and a half francs! It seems to me that is excessive." "But, these prices are marked in your interest," rejoined the restaurant. "It is the barrier that neaamed pouiseurs œau ments and the vugar, why do you come here? To be among yourselves, to avoid embarrassing or compromising surroundings. If I changed my prices the house would be invaded and you would all leave." Another patron who complained of a sauce was asked: "Did you dine here last evening? "No," he replied. "That is the trouble, then; you spooled your taste in the other restaurant." Still another object objected to the charges on his bill, comparing it with an identical breakfast of toast for eleven previous, which amounted to eight each, a half francs, whereas the breakfast in question was charged twenty-one francs eight centimes. "I will investigate the mistake," said Bigon, who, with the two bills, proceeded to his desk, returning shortly afterward. "It is very true, monsieur, that a mistake was made in your favor last Monday; but I make no claim for restitution." NOT LIKELY TO BE. POPULAR Scriptural Method of Carving Fowl Has Disadvantages. A scriptural method of carving fowls when in secular company was claimed by a witty monk who, having been asked to carve one day, said: "Inasmuch as you demand it, I will carve the fowl according to biblical principles," "Yes," exclaimed the hostess, "act according to the scriptures." The theologian therefore gan the carving. The baron was tendered the head of the fowl, the baroness the neck, the two daughters the head, the monk the first joint, the monk retaining the remainder. "According to what interpretation you make such a division?" inquired the host of his confessor, as he regarded the monk's heaping plate, and the scant portions deloed out to the family. "From an interpretation of my bwn," replied the monk. "As the master of your house the head belongs to you by right; the baroness, being near me to you, should receive face in; such is your girl's head; in the whims of young girls will recognize a symbol of their mobile thoughts that fly from one desire to another; as to the young barons, the drum stricks they have received will re mind them that they are responsible for supporting your house, as the legs of the capon support the bird itself." Origin of a Word. "How do you pronounce v-a-d-e-v-l-i-l-e?" asked the prefect of the purist. "Vowdvlillie," was the instant reply, followed by the question, "How do you?" "Vawdvlille," frankly condescended the prefect. "But I suspected I was wrong. That is the reason I asked you. I take it the word is French?" "Yes, and it comes from the name v-a-d-e-v-l-i-l-e—a river in Normandy. In that town during the fifteenth century lived Oliver Basselin, a French poet, who wrote a variety of matter in prose and verse. And now, after 600 years, every variety per former calls his act a vawdvlille turn. The study of the origin of words is interesting," concluded the purist. Proud of His Norwegian Birth. Edward Grieg, the Norwegian composer, dislikes the use of the word "Scandinavian" as applied to him. Recently there appeared in an English monthly magazine an article entitled "Grieg, the Scandinavian Composer," Grieg, when he saw it, sent a telephone to a friend in London requesting him to see the editor and explain that he was not a Scandinavian but a Norwegian. It is an interesting circumstance that but for the Jacobite trous bles he might have been a Scotsman His ancestors, the Greigs, emigrated from Scotland after the affair of 1745 and settled in Norway. Age of Cats. Herr Pohl, president of the German Society for the Protection of Cats, has just published the results of his investigation in regard to the age, which it is possible for these humans to attain Cats, he says, are like human beings in one respect. The more peaceful and better regulated their life is, the longer they are likely to live. As a proof, he points out that a famous cathedral Castle of Nymphen has lived to be forty-two years old, and consequently may fairly claim to be considered the dean of cats in Germany.

A London (Eng.) miller, who has been a keeper of forty horses for some years, recently adopted motor traction. He has now found that one five-ton motor wagon, practically replaces ten horses of weight and that for a year he earned $330 for similarly-propelled wagon, which includes interest on capital, depreciation, fuel, drivers' wages, oil, repairs and insurance, the same work is done which previously cost him between $1,100 and $1,200. THE APPEAL. FAMOUS STEEDS OF THE BLACK EAGLE FEATHER Copyright by the Horses Copyright by THE AUSTRALIAN (Copyrighted, 1903, by the A. A. Co.) Probably the most remarkable horses ever exhibited in America were imported from Arabia through the influence of the Sultan of Turkey in the New York show, and through the enterprise of a Chicago man were exhibited at the horse show in Chicago last November. There are, five of them—brothers. Not only are these stallions true Arabians, but they are rare in their own breed. That five similar white equine princes of the black eagle feathers should be foaled, as brothers, was considered miraculous. American horsemen confess that they never saw anything like them. All five of the stallions were trained for the amusement of the sultan's court. The docility of the true Arabian steed is a proverb. COPPER JACK To prove their most human intelligence they were taught to perform all sorts of difficult tricks. They do astonishing high leaps, mounting pedestals, and the dance quaint Oriental movements and do quaint packing steps. They dance the mazourka. Their keeper, Abdullah ibn Achmad, has consented to let them be taught some American tricks, such as cake walking. The true Arabian horse is a noble and is treated as such by the sons of the desert. He is a gift of God and therefore priceless. The Koran prohibits the sale of Arabian horses to Christians. The Koran says: "The horse shall be cherished by my servants, but he who does not follow my laws, and none will I place on his back save those who know me and worship me." And so the Mussulman princes have sternly refused to sell true specimens of the greatest of all breeds of horses to Europe and America. This fact accounts for the impossibility of buying these five stallions. Everyone knows, the usual Arabian horse is black or bay. But among the rarest desert breeds, called the BouGhoreb, white is the color reserved for princes. A tradition among the Arabs is that the royal white chargers marked with black eagle feathers should be reserved for the sultan. Each horse weighs between 1,100 and 1,250 pounds, stands 15 1.2 hands high, and has a hardened knel and gentle. They have pure white coats and delicate pink skins and noses. On their white coats appear marks as if some barbaric spirit had dropped upon them black eagle feathers. The legend is that thus they are marked as being gifted with supernatural swiftness and endurance. They could not be purchased at any price, and perspiration and influence upon their owners have been of no importance. The keeper, Abdullah ibn Achmad, should be retained with them was the inducement that finally led to an agreement that they might be shown to the people of America who have been deprived of seeing a thourbished Arabian horse. The Floto shows, now touring America, were selected as the best means of exhibiting the horses. They was just such a clever Lew Wallace in using them when the forever idealized the charist race in his novel "Ben Hur." Therefore, they have been called the "Ben Hur" troupe of royal Arabian horses. Hoping to obtain colts with the rank mark the lessees of the "Ben the A.M.C. Hur" stallions wish to breed them, free of charge, to suitable mares. They offer the service free and will contract to pay $100 for the foal if it has the royal mark of the black eagle feathers. So rare are royal Arabian horses in both Europe and America that the gift to Gen. Grant by the sultan of a pair of Arabs was an episode of international interest. The arrival of the horses, in 1882, after Gen. Grant had returned from his grand tour of the world, was the sensation of the day. Great regret was felt that the stallion, called by Gen. Grant "Linden Tree," died before his royal blood could mingle with that of the American thoroughbred to freshen the original stock. The origin of the American race horse is mainly the English thoroughbred, and that, in turn, dates back to the infusion of Eastern blood. It is an interesting fact that the pedigrees of all English thoroughbreds are traced back to three great Arabians, known in history as the "Beryl Turk," the "Darley Arabian," and the "Godolphin Arabian." The importation of these fathers of the thoroughbred was one of the most important events in Arabian III. While admittedly the English or American racer can sprint faster than the Arabian, yet this speed was originally derived from the Oriental desert king. But the Arab values endurance and intelligence and courage in his charger as much as speed. There is no doubt of the superiority of the Arabian in these qualities to this day. Valor is perhaps most highly regarded. In the desert wars the Arabs rely upon the courage of their horses as much as upon their own. They breed for ```markdown ``` valor just as we breed for speed in our horses. Only animals of battle, spirit were susu as chariot horses. In those furious contours the horses put their lives at stake as well as the charioters. Witness in Hard Luck. William B. Crandall, an actor who happened to be a witness to a murder in Wisconsin nearly a year ago, has been detained in Milwaukee as a witness ever since and as a consequence lost not only the position he held then, but has been prevented from filling other engagements that offered. He now finds himself destitute of means and has appealed to the prosecuting attorney for pressing wants and the prosecuting attorney has asked the court to make him an allowance for witness fees. The most extraordinary feature S of the case is that the murderer was released on bail immediately after the crime, but Crandall was confined in jail for several months. When he finally secured bonds for his appearance as a witness all avenues of employment were closed against him, dramatic companies having made their "hookings" for a year in adance. Proving His Innocence: Gov. James B. Frazer of Tennessee white in the city met another Southern and among various things talked about was the amusing propensity of the negro to use terms and words of great sound without knowing their meaning. "One darkly of him I had heard," said the Governor, "was arrested charged with stealing a chicken. At the preliminary hearing he was not represented by counsel, and it was suggested to him that he would better let the court designate a lawyer to defend him, as the case would be pushed. "I doan' want no lawyer," said Sambo, "cause 'i meren incerb ob dis yerse allergashon against me, an' der airt alingo to be talk 'bout de thug t'all me, Honnah' addressing the magistrate, 'Tse all ready to prove a haylis copus.

"Miss Gabberton spoke of you on the other day in a manner that strikes me as being almighty to slander," said the painter. "I am not afraid and attempted to suppress a yawn." "Indeed!" exclaimed young Borem. "What did she say?" "She said," replied the fair one, "that you were an easy-going sort of chap." "Backward, Turn Backward, Oh, Time in Thy Flight." Backward, turn backward, oh, Time, in your flight; make me a boy again, just for to-night. Give me the bliss of that rapturous time when I would go swimming, say, half of the time; give me the blister that followed the bliss, on the part of my back that the sun didn't miss; give me the betting that followed it then; make me a bujantilurchin again. Backward, turn backward at that teacher in your teacher to night, the teacher that lurped me five times a day—Oh, give me one chance at that teacher, I say! And give me the woodpile as big as a hill; let the pleasure of splitting it cheer me and thrill, the boys gaily jeer me from over the fence. Oh, give me that bliss again—darn the expense! The small reservation just over the hill, where the thought of the hoeing would give me a chill; the cow that caressed me each eve with her tail as I tried to draw milk for a twenty-quall pard; the hens that forever were wanting to set; the pig with a stomach man never filled yet; the measures that hit me, the collycodd pain—Oh, give me the collycodd pain—Oh, give me the fill me with capture and cheerful delight, backward, turn backward, oh, Time, in your flight.—Alfred J. Waterhouse in New York Times. WHY HE LOST HIS JOB. Deformity Objected to by People He Served. He was a bright young fellow and had given such a good account of himself while on trial as a conductor that the superintendent would have liked to keep him. He didn't do it, Johnson," he said with real regret. "Why not?" said Johnson. The superintendent hesitated, but decided it was better to out with the whole truth. "It is because two of your right hand fingers are gone," he said. "But what difference does that make?" argued Johnson. "I can handle the change all right." "Was the reply, but there have been many complaints from passengers on account of the maimed condition of your hand. Most people are sensitive in regard to a deformity of that kind, and although they do not wish to be unkind they object to being thrown in contact with it. I have been obliged to turn down other estimable young fellows who were thus handicapped. Occasionally a person minus a digit or two does and employment consultant on car or train cars, but he always does so at the risk of arousing a storm of protection that will necessitate his ultimate retirement." Inappropriate. Alfred Henry Lewis tells of a Texan who objected to the presence of a local exhorter who wished to offer prayer when the vigilantes were preparing to hang a horse thief. "Your prayer man must all right merely be a vigilante, said the critical one, "I have no fault to find with the prayer as a prayer. But it is plumb inconsistent to pray at this time and place." "Why so?" inquired the preacher. "This man is about to go into eternity, and he should be comforted and his soul saved if possible." "Saved nothing," said the other.

At supper she has her evening Janet hands through her usual grace; then the viands were brought in, and she immediately bowed her little head again in silence.

Examples of Jokes of Calhoun, Holmes, Clay and Webster—Tirade Uttered by John Randolph of Roanoke in the Upper House. John C. Calhoun, when vice president, did not believe that, as the presiding officer of the senate, he had any right to call Senators to order for words spoken in debate. John Randolph of Roanoke abused this license by making a speech with the words: "Mr. Speaker—I mean, Mr. President of the Senate, and would be President of the United States—which God, in His infinite mercy, avert!" and then launched into one of his characteristic tirades. Calouh's name recalls nullification. When this was at its most rampant stage the northern Senators depended largely upon John Holmes of Maine as champion of their side of the chamber, on account of his ready wit, says a writer in the Century. John Tyler tried to win the Senate, but he had become of that political firm once mentioned by Randolph as "James Madison, Felix Grundy, John Holmes and the devil." "The partnership," answered Mr. Holmes, promptly, "has been legally dissolved. The senior member is dead, the second has gone into retirement, the third now addresses you and the last has gone over to the nullifiers and is electionering among the honorable Clay and Webster were not habitual humorists, but both had the gift of entertaining as well as of enthralling their audiences. Clay most to illustrate anecdote. While he was in the House a prominent politician deserted the Whig party in the hope of starting a general revolt. To his dismay he found himself quite alone and then bent all his energies to getting back into good standing. The incumbent reminded Clay of a story. Said he: "A stage coach took aboard a passenger who insisted upon riding with the driver, and who diligently drew upon the contents of a bottle carried in his great coat pocket. When his potations at last overcame him he fell off. The coach stopped long enough for some charitable travelers to align and pull the poor fellow out of the mud. "Ha!' he exclaimed, as he looked down at his tattered garments, 'we had quite a (hie) turnover, didn't we?" "Oh, no," answered one of his rescuers, 'there was no turnover. You only fell off.' "I say," he persisted, "there was a (thic) turnover, and I leave it to the company." Every one joined in assuring him that the coach had not upset. "Well," he remarked usefully, as he tried to climb back to his former perch. If I'd known that (thic) I wouldn't have got off." On a certain afternoon the Senate clock got a fit of striking in the midst of one of Webster's most effective speeches. After it had struck forrison or fitten, Webster held up one finger: "Mr. President," said he, "the clock is out of order, I have the floor." Dewey, a Dog, and a Boy. Passing the home of Admiral Dewey recently I found the hero of Manilin out in front attending to the crusher foot of a dog that had been struck by a street car.

There are some people of African descent, in this country, who object to the hyphenated name, Afro-American, which, for years, THE APPEAL and a few other contemporaries, have used when referring to them. We do not claim to be the colony and it does not matter who did, though T. Thomas Fortune is given that credit; but, as it seems to us to be the most appropriate one, we use It certainly is somewhat galling to see the names of every one of the different nationalities of the world capitalized in writing and printing except "negrо." Afro-American, the word we most invariably use, can be written without using two capitals. The word negro, according to the definition given in Webster's Dictionary means: "A black man; especially one of a race of black or very dark persons who inhabit the greater part of Africa, and are distinguished by crisper or curly hair, flat noses, high cheek bones, and thick, protruding lips." It will very readily be admitted that "negroes" are not very numerous in this country though they may be plentiful in Africa. Then when the word "negrо" is used to designate the man, the detestible word "negress" is used to describe the American "That of itself" to cause all Afro-Americans to oppose the appellation. The beautiful, talented but unfortunate Empress Josephine, wife of Nopolon Bonaparte, was just as much a negress, and Alexander Hamilton, conceded to be the greatest statesman this country over produced, was just as much a negro as hundred of thousands of Afro-Americans, if the accounts of their ancestry, as we have learned them, are correct. Everyone knows that every possi- ble shade of complexion and character of hair, from the purest white complexion, with blue eyes and blonde hair accompaniment to as black as human hairs to get be, albeit their hair is not always kinky nor their noses always visible, people classed as negroes. So negro is not the proper word to designate them. When one sees the word negro or negrens in print, what is the appearance of the person who arises before the mental vision? No, by any other name, would small just as sweet, and the word negro, if it were not such an objectionable name, as it is generally used, would be no more objectionable than any other. "Colored people" is almost as objectionable as negro, as there is no more probability or possibility of its being used as a proper noun, and being dignified by capitals. "Not too colored people" might mean a lot of the worlds people who are not Afro-Americans. Rabbit Hirsch, of Chicago, in a recent address before the Chicago Woman's Club, said: "Some persons in this country, when I intend to attend a meeting with the Jewish welcomes, but this well meant compliment is not at all appreciated. We Jews, in this country insist that our nationality is not Jewish nor Hebrew but American. And for myself, I suppose I might be a Jew, but I am a ciasian—American—Jew, but, never try to compliment us by calling us Hebrews." Now, if the Jews object to a name which is used in a complementary way, we certainly ought to object to those that do not properly designate us or are used obproppious Nelson Page in a recent article in Colliers Weekly sneeringly referred to the use of the word Afro-American and said, "When a negro gets educated he becomes an Afro-American." Well, if being entitled to the appellation, Afro-American, signifies education, it is not the kind of things follow in the train of education, let us by all means insist upon being designated as Afro-Americans. Afro-American, a proper noun, with its two capitals certainly looks more dignified, proud and patriotic than negro invariably used as a common noun and spelled with a small n. The prejudice against the Afro-American in the South, when he appears in any other capacity than a menial, is something unaccountable and awful. To illustrate, a story which is told by a southerner about Register of the Treasury Lyons is a case in point. The story was told by a Negro in Atlanta, Ga., and is about as follows: "Register of the Treasury Lyons was one of the first colored men admitted to the bar in my state. I am a democrat of the rankest kind, but I confess that I admire his rise. Lyons' practice was a success from the time he was admitted, and I remember that very early in his career he was employed in a case involving ownership of a property. The case was heard in a small town some distance from Augusta, Lyons' home." "When Lyons appeared on the scene there was considerable comment over the fact that a 'nigger had come there to practice before the judge, and won the case regardless of what was said about his being a colored man; that he knew he had law and justice on his side, and that he did not believe his color would have anything to do with it. The young lawyer who was to go against the colored prejudice winning a case over him, but Lord bless you, when Lyons got through examining the witnesses and made his argument he had covered the ground completely. The opposing counsel, young lawyer, surrounded at large length and poked jibes at the 'nigger lawyer', but Lyons had handled the case so admirably that the jury gave a verdict for his client. Naturally the young white lawyer was greatly outraged, and the judge case won the court, where the decision of the lawyer court was affirmed." "This settled him, for he withdrew from practice altogether, and died a few weeks afterward. I don't say that his defeat by a colored lawyer killed him, but I do know that he took it very hard." There is a man in Green Village, N. J., who, while not having a goose that lays golden eggs, has a hen which lays two eggs a day and with hen fruit questioned, he asks the hen in question is not a break but is the result of careful breeding and experimenting for several years. He long thought that hegds could be bred that would lay one egg every day in the year, and also possible, and he has been working to that end. On March 1st, one of his special hens became sick, and he put her in a coop by herself. The following day he was astonished to find she had laid two eggs, one at 9 a. m. and the other at 4 p. m. and has kept five fittings of the eggs and believes he has the greatest hen for commercial purposes in the world. It seems that the trouble about the Afro-American is getting two numerous. If there were not so many of him he would be in general demand. At least that seems to have been the reason for Zotique Leroux, a wealthy contractor of Montreal, who was arrested last week, in Denver, Colo., in company with W. F. Blackburn, with whom she had eiped three weeks before. He deserted a wife and two children. She was the maid of the maid of the maid in Montreal, and I got him." Love goes that he is sent, don't you know! Eyes of Beasts of Prey Cats and other beasts of prey reflect fifty times as much light from their eyes as human beings.

The illustrations by Tom Brown are drawn with skill and enhance the interest of the author and pencil of the artist are both used with line effect in laying bare the types whose contrasts are more striking in London than even in Paris or elsewhere. The types of human vice and virtues. So vivid is the flotation and jetsam, coming and going with the nights, in Piccadilly, like unto the sea, and so picturesque has the artist interpreted the author's ideas and illusions with parading up and down the illuminated scenes of Piccadilly at night entering with inviting appearance along the streets, in pacing and pleasure-bearing panses, the crowds or watching in silence and plics the moral lions there. "It is a scene that stirs the fancy and touches the imagination. As the theatres and music halls of London empty, the fire is in the air, so far, and the full of the flashing and twinkling of the multitudinous lights of hurrying hansoms, of many carriages speeding homeward and supper, of streams of people and and, of the most pleasing essay walking along, smiling and jesting, and talking of what they have been to see. You catch charming glimpse in the soft-clothes of the light of the uplifted piniup flushed lighty faces, snowy shoulders hidden in lace or chiffon, or cloaks of silk and satin. Diamonds sparkle in my lady's hair; her light laughter ripples a faint fragrance pertumes the wandering air, and the vision sweeps past you, on outside your radius. And there are many such visions, each with its own meaning, and the light of the fire, we have nothing to do, further than to say that they are all part of this pageant of the night." And, in the London half-world the authe says, "On this lovely summer night they flaunt themselves in all their bravery; the majority of them indeed are not badly dressed, nor are all painted. Some of them are so big and more of the one unmistakened English. Some have bold eyes some have not. They seem sober—every one. But what a number of them!" And all sorts and sizes, so to all fond of a kiss and fond of a gunfire. The night side of London "high life" is on the surface extremely kaleidoscopic, but beneath the surface and in all essentials it differs a little from the night side of high life from what it was since high life began. Its main feature is, as it has always been, and always will be, Mr. H. G. Well's anticipations to the contrary notwithstanding, the pursuit of pleasure in an everlasting Vanity Fair. It is a merry-go-round, whose merriness quickly or slowly, according to the toughness of one's physical and moral digestion, passes into monotony. Sketches of club life among the working people and their amusements; sketching of the social outcasts and their struggle for existence in the dens of human vice.—are drawn with skill and without comment, the author is simply painting in vivid word coloring what he sees, and endeavors to teach no lesson in morals. --- MISISSIPPII HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

It was a general agreement, and theability and that the attitude taken from them forced Congress to make negro suffrage the final basis of reconstruction. The change of view in which the South was held was not in which the following: Mr. Lincoln had contemplated a reconstruction of the central States largely under the auspices of the executive power. In the second, which plan would have restored the Southern States to representation in the Union on liberal and magnanimous terms. "If Mr. Lincoln had lived, his large personal and political influence united with his tact and wisdom, might have goodly be made to a pactification of the South. Mr. Johnson was looking in all those qualities, and with life and differences between the Executive and Congress which Mr. Lincoln would have recorded and adjusted assumed the proposal. Mr. Lincoln was a patriot as well as a great statesman, and under his auspices it is improbable that the South would have been crushed between the two, and the contingent force that it was between the Congressional and Executive departments of the government.

"Bird Gods, by Charles De Kay, is the rarest class of information relative to the rarest class of information relative to the rarest class of information relative to the oldest and the oldest." There is the evidence of much research in the book—research which is exposed in paraphrase at once attractive and entertaining. It tells us what birds the ancients not tell us about the philosophy of such worship, and tells us what deeds the ancients not tell us about the deeds which make very delightful myths. "Take the woodpecker as an instance. When we picture to ourselves the Euphorus of the Gap of the Gap. I have a man's puffed up knee, finding how to keep a poor over the head, loving murder, a bloody tyrant to the weak, cringing before power, sub-squads of families because of his sloth and ignorance. The man's a heart, a heart of his laziness and nifty habits. We can understand his envy and admiration of the man's goodness of the people, and the previous, superhuman traits, has the political side so developed that it can chisel for itself in a few hours a neat, dry cave of wood is made of green-a-air gas of heart that seems to find the garment where no green thing grows, right under its busy beak. Mr. Woodpecker was thought to know the whole country of his life, where he is a special creation of the high god Ukko of the Finns and has a mysterious affinity to fire, also a rain and the other. The author then proceeds to tell us of the power the woodpecker exerted over the Romans at the time of Hannibal's entry into the peninsula. Says he has a good knowledge of the eyes of the Roman soothsayers can hardly be overestimated. I have a seal, carab-like in form, showing a man seat in a place in which he appears to be teaching a trick. That the man is an auspex or soothasy is reasonably certain from the fact that he wears the conical cap so on the little Vatican Museum.

YOUR LOVING HUSBAND, * * * THE STORY OF THE SLAVE Slavery and Servitude in New Jersey. By Alfred M. Heston, Member of the New Jersey Historical Society. Camden, N. J.: Sinnickson Chew & Sons Co. This monograph is a edition of slavery and servitude as it existed in New Jersey. The fact is brought out that slavery existed in America long before 1619, when the Dutch traders came with their cargo of human freight to Jamestown. The Aztecs in Mexico enslaved not only enemies taken in battle but those of their own nation who were convicted of theft and other crimes. African slavery was introduced in New Jersey in 1680 at least that of the leader of the United Institution of Ownership of African slaves. Many of the leading citizens engaged in the African slave trade. There is a record of one good old elder, whose ventures on the African coast always turned out well, who returned thanks on the Sunday following the arrival of a slaver into the harbor in these words: "An overruling Providence—has been pleased to bring to this land of freedom another cargo of benigned hearten to enjoy the blessings of a vessel disnessman." Perth Amboy was "New Jersey's chief port of entry, and blacks were to be seen there in goodly numbers, many of them freshly imported and still bearing their mains, and adults sold from 2000 to $500. The system of white bondage, known as redemptive servitude, existed throughout the seventeenth of eighteenth centuries. This form of bondage was usually voluntary, and at the expiratory time the redemption was merged into the mass of white population without any special taint of servitude. The importation of the colony of Negro slaves, who were found to be cheaper than the servants, checked in a measure the trade redeemed. Many white convicts were shipped to New Jersey from the British Islands, and were merged into the mass of the population. An act providing for the gradual abolition of slavery was passed by the American government. A further, other than in 1826, and still later a more in 1846, did not bring about the complete emancipation of the slaves, although there were but 18 in the entire state when Lincoln's proclamation was issued. In the same year of the A.T. Robert, at that time a member of the state being introduced and had passed a bill which removed from the statutes the last vestige of slavery in New Jersey. The little book contains much valuable information. SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING Successful Advertising, How to Accomplish it. By J. Angus MacDonald, Cloth, Pp. 400. $2.

On April 11th she was taken from the hospital to her home with her daughter, Mrs. J. Q. Adams, where everything was done that possibly could be done by loving relatives and friends to alleviate her sufferings, which were caused by her complication of troubles, but all to no consequence and the evening of Wednesday, April 22nd, at 6:45 she passed away.

New York, April 23—The trustees of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute in Alabama have received $600,000 towards the endowment fund from Andrew Carnegie, who attended the recent meeting in behalf of the Tuskegee Institute, where ex-President Grover Cleveland presided. The trustees will meet soon to take formal action in accepting the gift, and at the same time to take measures to still further increase the endowment. Carnegie's letter conveying the gift reads as follows: New York, April 17, 1903, Wm. H. Baldwin, Jr., Trustee, My Dear Friend: I have instructed Mr. Franks, my cashier, to deliver to you, as trustee of Tuskegee Institute, six hundred thousand dollars five per cent United States Steel company's first mortgage bonds towards the endowment funds. give this and with your愿 to meet that I require that suitable provision be made from the gift for the wants of Booker Washington and his family during his own or his wife's life. I wish to be entirely free from pecuniary cares that he may be entirely free to devote himself to his great mission. To me he seems one of the greatest of living men because his work is unique; the modern Moses, who leads his race and lifts it, through education, to even better and higher things than a land overflowing with milk and honey. History is to tell of two Washington, one white, the other black, both fathers of their people. I am satisfied that the serious race problem of the South is to be solved wisely only through Mr. Washington's policy of education, which he seems to have been specially born, a slave to among slaves, to establish and in his own day greatly to advance. Glad am I to be able to assist this good work in which you and others so zealously labors. Truly yours, —Andrew Carnegie. We Carry Complete Lines of Union Makes The Jane Martin Brown Home.

The dialogue is strong, the story interesting throughout and in the hands of a capable company and carefully staged, the production is one well worth seeing. The play met with unqualified success on the occasion of its appearance at that playhouse last season and a short resumption of its story is probably of place at this stage. The plot is woven around the trials and adventures of Frank Rawden, who is persecuted by George Dalton a false friend, who causes serious charge to be made against him in order to rid him of his presence that he may the more successfully carry out a villainous scheme, but Frank Rawden is aided by Tom Dally, a detective, who manages to thwart his plans and in a most sensational manner clears the good name of the hero. There is a press conference and while the play is sensational it is always consistent and one of intense interest. The cast includes the names of a number of well known players and it is promised that the production will be elaborately staged and equipped. The Big Clothing Sale Big House. Robert Streets.

This is a worthy movement and the citizens of Minneapolis should rally to its support. We can not well afford to be left out. There is no reason why Minneapolis should not have raised at least $200 towards furnishing a reception in this home. The citizens of St. Paul have taken hold of this matter with interest and enthusiasm. We should not expect to share in the honor without doing some of the work. The Newspaper Deadhead Why should people ask for free newspapers, asks the Toronto Evening Telegram, any more than they look for free cigars, free umbrellas, free walking sticks, free collars, free cuffs or free beefsteaks? Every copy of a newspaper is a product which costs money. The tailor, the tobaccoist, the gents' furnisher or the grocer is not called upon to supply free copies of the products which they handle. The people who are aggrieved if they cannot get a free copy of a newspaper would not think of struggling for a place on the list of a grocery store, a dry goods store, or butcher's shop. It is the principle more than the cost of the free newspaper idea which is repugnant to all sound business notions. Are conveniently and comfortably reached by our two trains a day.

Mr. Editor: Allow me space in your paper to thank the organizations for their faithful care and benevolence towards my aunt, Mrs. Agnes Moody, who died April 8 at 2:40 P. M., age 65 years, during all the months of her serious illness. Their attention was beautiful to see, nothing lacked they in devotion, nor did their charity fail by the wayside; neither did they want for hope of her recovery until within the last few days. They were loyal to the end. She had ample time in all these months to feel the sincerity of the friendship her many acquaintances bore her. Her sisters, who cared for her day and night unwearingly, join me in the attempt to thank not only the societies and clubs, pastors, Q. C. S. and Christian Endeavors, Deacouns and Stewardess, but every one for their words of cheer and prayers. Her funeral April 11 will ever be remembered by her relatives.

In each organization Mrs. Moody had held a high seat of honor subordinately and internationally, and each vied with the other in the neatness and dispatch of their last rites without any sign of confusion. The organizations have lost a sister but our home and hearts have lost a greater link than they for there can never be to us, using sister Angie or Aunt Aggg. But she left with us good teachings, bright thoughts, stories of joy and struggle for knowledge. Although sad we hope to chase the gloom away by bright memories of her during her health and her enduring patience in illness and with what calmness she asked that the Deaconess and Christian Endeavor come and be with her as she was about to cross the river. Many thanks to her neighbors. Mrs. Gabriel Knighton Smith draped the body for burial. Mr. Clifford Johnson, 709 State St., enshalmier, cared for the body and secured the handsome casket. I can only say thanks to each and every one who by word, deed or act showed their love for my aunt and consoled and mourned with us.

It is evident to the thoughtful among us that we are passing through one of the most critical periods of the country this country, and that immediately before we liberty and well being of one-eighth of the United States and scarcely to less degree the whole population of the country are passing through another period of mankind's treasured experience of mankind that in public matters the equality of each is the surest guarantee of the liberty and freedom of mankind. It is true that the country can not endure 'half free and half slave it follows as a necessary corollary that the mankind is free, in nearly equal parts into voters and non-voters. A systematic effort has been inaugurated on the part of the Afro-Americans to withdraw of the franchise from the Afro-Americans of that section, and their reduction to a position of absolute subservience to the government, to graduates and men of business and wealth have been denied the right of franchise. It has been openly declared by some of the greatest leaders of the South that was the intention of the framers of the new constitutions to disfranchise as many Afro-Americans as possible and leave them without suffrage. The effect has been that not only has the Afro-American been disfranchised but also the Afro-Americans who previous to the adoption of these constitutions participated in elections, have ceased to register and vote, and thus the very foundations of republican institutions have been We contend for our constitutional rights on the ground that Right of Resistance is a basis of individual sovereignty of the American citizen, which in turn is the basis of a whole body politic, has been conferred upon its citizens by the Federal Government. The Constitution, not conferred by a single state but by all of the states, therefore the National Government enforce the provisions of the Constitution. We heartily commend the Afro-American movement and other states, who are seeking redress through the courts of the land and we pledge them our moral and financial support. We denounce the mob murders now so prevalent in this country that the country to a condition of service on many farms in a number of the Southern states resembles the state of Virginia and in violation of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution, and ask for legislation looking to the remedying of the We submit our protest against the unfair practices in the transportation of immigrants unjustly against Afro-Americans; requiring of them the highest rates for travel and providing in return the poorest conditions; and voke the exercise of the powers of the Inter-State Commerce Commission, by that tribunal, to prevent discriminations against immigrants and condemnations against inter-state passengers.
