The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT 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. COLLECTED THE BILL ONE DUN WHO HAD RATHER A PLEASANT TIME. But He Had an Interest in the Affair and Needed the Money—Case Where Persistence Won a Complete Triumph. The following story is told of a certain young man in Mount Vernon who had been living rather close to the ground, as the saying goes, according to the New York Times, and who was badly in need of funds. The young man went to a friend and told him of his predicament, requesting a loan at the same time. His friend was not "touchable," however, but he told the young man that if he would collect a bill he had against a certain man whose home was in a swell district of the city he might have half of the proceeds. The fellow accepted and made his way to the home of the debtor. A young lady answered his ring and he inquired for Mr. B., the man of the house. "Mr. B. is not at home," replied the young lady. "Oh, he isn't?" said the collector. "Well, I'll just step in and wait for him." Without waiting for an answer he slipped inside the door, took off his coat and hat, and sat down in an easy chair in the parlor. He picked up a paper and made himself as much at home as if the house was his own. He had read about fifteen minutes when Mr. B. came into the room and inquired as to the young man's business. "Well," said that individual, "I have a little bill here that I wish to collect. It is from E. & Co." "I am very sorry," said Mr. B., "but I am afraid that I cannot meet it just at present." "Oh, there's no hurry," said the collector. "I can wait awhile," and he settled back in the chair and resumed reading the paper. Mr. B. looked at him in surprise, and after a minute's thought said: "Really, it is dinner time and I am quite hungry. You must excuse me." "Why, certainly," was the reply. "I am a little hungry myself. I don't mind eating dinner with you at all," and before the astonished man could reply he was through the door and inquiring where his seat would be. Mr. Was bottle and made a place for him. They ate dinner and had a cold bottle after it and by that time it was growing late. They talked of the weather and one thing and another and in time the clock struck 10 and Mr. B. began to be worried. As a last resource he remarked: "It is time that I should retire. While your company has not been anticipated it has been enjoyable. I hope that you will call again." But the young man was not feazed. He calmly replied: "I have been pleasantly entertained, Mr. B. Now, if you will show me my room, I shall retire also." Mr. B. glared at the intruder. That person simply sat and smoked his after-dinner cigar and looked at peace with the world. This state of affairs continued until early in the morning, when Mr. B. lost all control of himself, pulled out his checkbook, wrote a check for the amount of the bill and threw it to the young man. "Now, you blank-blanked lobster," he said, "get out of this house as quick as you can. If you don't there'll be trouble." The collector got his hat and coat and went out into the street with a smile on his face. It was a hard struggle, but persistence had won. Nicknames of Prominent Men Nearly every prominent man of title in England has a nickname and some of these cognomens are a trifle odd. For instance, Sir Michael Herbert, British minister to Washington, is known as "Mungo," just why does not seem to be clearly known; the duke of Westminster is called "Bend-Or," which was a Derby winner owned by his grandfather; the duke of Marlborough is "Sunny," from Sanderland, one of his many second titles, and Lord Granville Gordon has all his life answered to the name of "Granny." A Lyric. How fair it is, the world around. The changing, life, each day's surprise. To see the stars, the land, the sea, To look into your eyes. To hear the cestasy of morn, The birds in field and wood rejoice, The madrigals of wind and trees, To listen to voices.

How fair it is, the world around, How wonderful and sweet the past, That knows its cestasy and work, That knows your loving heart. Precious Butterflies A splendid gift has just been made to the Paris Museum of Natural History. M. de Boullet, who possessed one of the most perfect collections of papilionaceae in the world, has presented it to the museum. The specimens number 20,000 and their value is estimated at £4,000. By this mounficent act the collection of the museum is doubled. Many Suicides in Chicago. For several years past suicides have been increasing in Chicago at a ratio far in excess of the increase in population. Three hundred and fifty-six suicides in 1900 were followed by 399 in 1901 and 439 last year. A TIP-TAKER'S VIEW. Sces a Decline in the Great Ameri can Habit. The bitter cry of the victims of the "tip nuisance" is loud in the land, but the recipients of tips have usually maintained a haughty silence. Now Mr. James S. Stemons, a colored waiter explains their point of view in the Independent. Waiters' wages have everywhere been reduced with the growth of tips, so that the tipper is merely making good the deficiencies of the employer. But of late there has also been a great decline in the volume of tips, so that the waiter, underpaid and confronted with the loss of his perquisite at the same time, is flattened between the two rolls of a wringer. In a number of representative hotels and restaurants in different cities the tips received by colored waiters vary from nothing at one place in Cleveland to a dollar and a half a day in New York. At the best hotel in New Orleans they average seventy-five cents a day, in Louisville fifteen cents, and in Philadelphia from forty cents to a dollar. The usual range in the South is low. In the North the tendency is for the best hotels and restaurants to employ white waiters. Where colored men are employed they get much lower wages. As a rule colored waiters draw from $18 to $22 a month in wages, and they are lucky when they can get $15 more in tips. In most restaurants the bulk of the business is compressed within two or three hours, and ten cents is the prevailing fee. "In fact, it is only the most aggressive waiter who manages to average so much as fifty cents a day in tips." The recipient of this, tip takes it as a matter of hard necessity—not, because he likes to. The author of the article quoted worked for three years before he consented to accept one and then it was forced upon him. But the tip will stay until the patrons of hotels and restaurants induce proprietors to pay living wages. Such a movement, if Mr. Stemons may be credited, will have the enthusiastic support of the waiters, whose supposed exactions inspired the virtuous resolves of the Anti-Tipping league. SAYING PRAYERS IN ADVANCE How Thoughtful Child Provided for Season's Enjoyment. an mining story of the childhood of his daughter Jorge. "Once, when Hildegarde was a little girl," he will begin, "she was elated over the fact that we were all going to spend the summer at the seashore. Particularly was she elated on the night before our departure. Her eyes shone, her cheeks were flushed, and she could do nothing but dance and clap her hands for joy. After she had gone to her room I heard her chattering away like an insane person for a long time. I peeped in and saw her on her knees praying. Over and over again she repeated the same prayer. "Hildegarde," I said, "what on earth are you doing, child? "I am saying my prayers now for all summer," she answered, "so that I won't have to waste any time on them while we are away."—New York Tribune. Bilkins and His Joke Forty years ago Bilkins, then a lad saw it for the first time. It was in an old almanac which had been printed before he was born. The almanac credited it to a still older publication. Bilkins laughed when he saw it. To his immature mind it appeared funny. Then he took it unto himself for his own, and every year at the recurring season he has inflicted it upon his friends. The other day while rain was falling, Bilkins, in a waterproof coat and under an umbrella, met Silkins dashing along unprotected from the elements. Bilkins seized the opportunity. "Hello, Silkins!" he cried. "Where's your umbrella? Lent, I'll bet. Ha! ha!" "No!" howled Silkins. "It's stolen, you dongasted idiot!" And he smote Bilkins full sore. A policeman assisted Bilkins out of the gutter. While waiting 'for the ambulance the officer said: "Let this be a warning to you. Remember, the man who jokes about an umbrella and Lent borrows trouble who are glad to let him have it." Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove- O that which is fixed mask That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wandering bark Whose worth's unknown, although his soul is not fixed Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending stickle's compass come; come; Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out ev'n to the edge of home. If this is error, and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved. —Shakespeare. Theories and Facts. That a theory accords with the facts does not necessarily prove it true. According to Poincore, the eminent French mathematician, an infinite number of theories, only one of which is actually true, may be devised to account for any given state of facts. THE APPEAL. PANAMA CANAL WILL SAVE 7,000 MILES OF TRAVEL NORTH UNITED STATES ATLANTIC OCEAN AFRICA North East Trades North East Trades OCEAN VENEZUELA COLOMIA 92 Dives ECUADOR BRAZIL South East Trades South East Trades SOLITA SOUTH ATLANTIC OCEAN SOUTH PACIFIC OCEAN Bilineo R SYSTEM 1 1860 Miles FIRST STAMP IN AMERICA. PAID BATTLEBORO APR 21 Bernhard Rother Eg Boston Man Now that the Panama canal is an assured thing, a little study of the accompanying map will show some of the advantages to be gained. The heavy line running south from New York is the steamship track to Colon, and the distance is 1981 miles. At an average speed of fourteen miles per hour, which is a moderate and economical pace for the modern steamship, the voyage could be made in an hour or two less than six days. From Panama to San Francisco the distance is 3277 miles, which, at the same average speed, would require nine days and eighteen hours' steaming. Say sixteen days for the ocean voyage, and allow four days for passing through the canal, and the whole trip would be made in twenty days, or inside of three weeks. At present a steamer must follow the solid line running off to the southeast to Cape Roque. Once around this cape the course follows the coast in a southwesterly direction to the Straits of Magellan, thence out into the Pacific, where a straight course can be steered for the Faralone islands, just outside of San Francisco. On this track the distance is 12,589 miles, which at the same average speed would require thirty-seven and a half days' continuous steaming. Allowing for delays in the Straits of Magellan, and for coaling, and the voyage would take all of forty days, or just double the time of the Panama route. The sailing track as indicated by the line of dashes is 15,660 miles, and while our best clipper ships have FIRST ST BATTLEBORO APR 21 Fac Simile. Collectors and philatelists become enthusiastic when they speak of the famous Brattleboro, Vt., postage stamp, which is said to be the first ever used in America. Dr. Frederick N. Palmer, who was Battleboro's postmaster from July, 1845, to November, 1848, was the inventor of the stamp which we reproduce. The facsimile herewith presented was prepared by the direction of Major F. W. Childs, when he was postmaster. This was at the request of many collectors. Dr. Frederick N. Palmer was born Belfast. M. 1815. and came to made the outward voyage in 100 to 110 days, many a good ship has taken a full four, five and even six months on the voyage. Again turn to the chart and follow the zigzag line out around the "Horn." This is the area of a sailing vessel one of the last of the good old wooden square rigged ships built in Bath. The dots represent the noon positions from day to day, the tae voyage commencing on June 17 from the Delaware capes. While the straight lines show the distance gained each day they do not always represent the actual path of the ship, as when the wind is ahead the ship may tack back and forth across the line a number of times in the twenty-four hours. The track indicated is 16,226 miles long, but there is no doubt that the ship covered more than 17,000 miles on this voyage. This voyage of 117 days was the record run of that year, and was especially good because the Horn was rounded in midwinter. The reader may wonder why the sailing track runs so far to the eastward on leaving New York. The reason is that to take advantage of the northeast trade wind a ship must get well off the coast to make a fair wind of it, otherwise she would have to beat her way along the coast of Brazil, and thus lose much time. Again in the Pacific this same "trade" carries the ship far to the westward of San Francisco, and not until she has reached the zone of prevailing westerly winds (above 30 deg. north) TAMP IN PAID Brattleboro some time in 1836 as a music teacher. He became a student of the law and studied in the office of Judge Asa Keyes. In 1840 he married Miss Ellen, oldest daughter of Judge Keyes, and five years later he was appointed postmaster. It was during his three years incumbency that he inaugurated a number of improvements in the office, and in 1846 issued the little stamp for which collectors are now willing to pay fabulous prices. It is stated that one has been sold at the extraordinary price of $175. It is said that only two Boston collectors can boast can she swing around and head in for "Frisco." Because of this same wind the sailing track from Panama to San Francisco would be an immense half-circle. By the canal route another great route can be made in going to Honolulu, for a steamer with the distance would be 6,646 miles, or about 1,000 miles more than to San Francisco, but by way of the Magellan straits the ship would have to steam 13,200 miles, or twice as far. The sailing vessel could save very much, and after picking up the northeast trade on leaving Panama she would have a fair wind all the way to the islands, while a voyage around the Horn would be 14,970 miles long and necessitate a long battle with the heavy westerly gales in that far southern latitude. Nothing would suit the old Cape Horn "shell-back" better than to be able to "cut across lots" and thus escape the much dreaded "corner" which has sent so many of his mates to "Davy Jones" locker." One thing more might be mentioned, and that is the voyage to the Philippines. While the distance (11,500 miles) is practically the same either by Suez or Panama, in case of war between this country and a foreign power the latter route would be far better, for many reasons. With this canal once open for business there will be no further necessity of sending a big battleship on a dangerous 15,000 mile "hurry up" voyage to reach a place but a little over 3,000 miles away. AMERICA. of owning a Palmer stamp. One was bought about fifty years ago for seventy-five cents. The other, bought in 1882, cost in the vicinity of $100. It is said that a Mr. Collins of New York has the only uncancelled Brattleboro stamp known to be in existence. He has won the philatelic blue ribbon for securing the rarest stamp on the American catalogue, and that means the whole world. Great Britain adopted the use of postage stamps in 1840, and Brazil in 1831. The United States did not commence to use them until July, 1847. TRICKED BY HIS FRAU. How a Musician's Wife Induces Him to Play for their Friends. to play for their friends. The German musician who is at the head of one of the well-known private conservatories is much averse to playing for the entertainment of his friends. He teaches all day and when evening comes is usually so tired of the piano that requests for a little music are often in vain, to the great disappointment of those who know his musicianly skill. But the artist's small and vivacious frau has a way to entrap him when the occasion seems to demand it. She herself plays with some excellence, but not sufficiently well to escape the explosive criticism of her husband. But she sometimes sacrifices herself for the pleasure of her friends. When all the efforts to induce the artist to play have been in vain, she goes to the piano and begins something that he is particularly fond of, most likely a bit of Wagner or Mendelssohn. In about three minutes her husband restless, frowns, shifts his feet, and runs his hands through his leonine locks. After two minutes more he leaps up, sputtering: "Gott in Himmel! That is all wrong. Horrible! You blay worse effery day, Louisa—worse and worse. I show you, Here, like this!" He seats himself, and the piano sings. That piece finished, something else occurs to him, his fingers get the fire in them, and for an hour he forgets his refusals and resolutions. And so far he has not suspected the trick,—New York Mail and Express. SHE GAVE FAIR WARNING. Little Girl Had Learned Her Lesson of Reverence Well. George T. Winston, president of the North Carolina A. and M. college, thinks he has the prize when it comes to children's sayings. While visiting in Asheville he went to see one of his friends and met the 3-year-old daughter of the family. Her parents were religious people, and she had learned from them that God was everywhere and that she must always try to please Him. Dr. Winston and she became friends, and the next time he went to her house he carried a bow and arrow as a gift. She was delighted, and the two went out on the lawn to try the toy. He taught her how to shoot it, and she prepared to send the shaft upward. She pointed the arrow toward the sky and pulled the elastic string far back. She had almost let go when a frightened look came over her face. Then she looked up and, raising her voice, said: "Det out of the way, Dod, I goin' "Det out of the way, Dod, I'm goin to shoot."—New York Times. A Cool Monarch. King Victor Emanuel III of Italy, in spite of his diminutive stature, which often makes him the butt of his enemies' jests, is known for a man of dauntless courage and iron nerves. A few years ago while holding the rank of colonel in a regiment of artillery he was intrusted with the testing of a new cannon that the army was then experimenting with. He proceeded to the trial field accompanied by several officers of rank and the inventor, and after a short explanation of the relative points of the gun order was given to aim it at the target. At the first shot the huge engine of destruction exploded near the breech with a terrible crash, and the panic-stricken men fled precipitately. Not so Victor Emanuel, who did not stir an inch, but, turning with an amused smile to the frightened officers, reassured them chafingly: "No danger now, gentlemen," he said calmly; "you should have fled before the explosion."—Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post. Legends That Will Live. Legends That Will Live. It makes no difference what proof to the contrary is offered, the American people will always believe and maintain that Raleigh once lived in Virginia, that Putnam crawled into a den of wild wolves, that Paul Revere saved his country by a ride, and that Barbara Frechtle dared the rebels, just as poets have written; that Funston did actually swim the Calumpit, and that Roosevelt charged up the hill in the battle at San Juan in the very way that Verestchagin puts it. These things can no longer be considered as matters in dispute or points of controversy in our history. The belief in them is as deeply imbedded in the hearts of all Americans as is the belief that Washington never lied or swore and Mrs. Leary's cow kicked over the lamp which caused the big fire in Chicago.

A "KILLING" SPOILED SMALL MISTAKE THAT PROVED VERY COSTLY. Well-Planned Race Track Coup Would Have Netted Thousands of Dollars More But for an Oversight of the Managers. "I won't say that it's about as hard for a man born in 1870 to get a total disability pension for participating in the battle of Gettysburg as it is to pull off a successful hog slaughtering on a race track nowadays, but I don't mind mentioning in confidence that the people who fetch through a successful killing on a race course at this stage of the game have got to be mighty slick, and they have got to have a whole lot of luck besides," said a veteran trainer in charge of a string out at Benning. "Any one of a thousand things can flatten a prepared coup out like a piece of roofing tin nowadays. The railbirds, in the first place, have got the prepared killing pretty nigh coppered. Nothing gets away from them on any track from dawn's early light. And even if the word doesn't leak, the battle between the layers and the players has now reached such an acute stage that the boys with the slates begin to rub the minute a man whose face they know begins to make the rounds on any horse with a price chalked up against him. Not only this, but the most foolish little mishap can utterly destroy all possibility of pulling off a killing that has been shrewdly and carefully planned and worked over, night and day, for months. "A few years ago to fine mare Fleur-delis was brought East, after a successful campaign on the California tracks, for a killing. There were fewer railbirds then than there are now, and therefore it was a lot easier to give her preparation and workouts without taking chances on her form being revealed. "The mare was pitchforked, with nothing, worth mentioning in the way of weight on her back, into an overnight handicap with a lot of swagger horses, which made a good price against her a certainty. Her people designed to blister the poolrooms throughout the country on the win, and so they sent their commissioners to various points with the money a couple of days before the race. "Now, a short time before the day of the contemplated killing, the owner of the mare got permission from the Jockey Club stewards, for some reason or other, to change the mare's name from Fleur-del-lis to Maxine. The commissioners who had gone West and South with the big money to bet on Fleur-del-lis didn't know anything about this switch of the mare's name to Maxine, and, through an oversight, they were not informed. "It happened that the poolrooms the commissioners went to failed to chalk 'formerly Fleur-de-lis' after the name of Maxine, as is occasionally done on the poolroom blackboards when a horse's name is changed, and so the commissioners, concluding, for some reason or other, that the mare hadn't been entered in the race that was to be the killing, kept all of that fleur-de-lis money right in their clothes. You can draw for yourself a little charcoal sketch of how these commissioners felt when the operators in the poolrooms, after calling off the race and announcing that Maxine had strolled in something easy, supplemented their call-off with the dry remark: 'Maxine was formerly Fleur-de-lis.' "The Maxine party made a big thing of the win at the track, of course; but so trivial an oversight as their failure to inform their commissioners that a change in the mare's name had been applied for cost them a good many tens of thousands of dollars."—Washington Post. German Motorist in Hard Luck German Motorist in Hard Luck. In Germany the motorist is in a sad dilemma. A sedate elderly gentleman was returning home one evening in his motor and passed through a small town called Dingsda. At that hour of the night the streets were empty, so he omitted to sound his bell as the local regulations prescribe. Shortly after committing this crime he was served with a summons for not sounding a warning while crossing a public thoroughfare. He protested, but in vain, and the fine was paid. Some weeks later he made the same journey at the same hour and, mindful of past misdeeds, loudly sounded the alarm at the crossroads. The result was the issue of a second summons, this time for causing "rest disturbing noise!" Poet's Murmuring Stream. A poet came from 'way back east Unto the glorious west.

SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1903. The Afro-Americans who have gone upon the theory, "Take all the world, but give me Jesus." will be shocked doubtless to know that Andrew Carnegie does not pray. When making the $600,000 gift to Tuskegee the other day he said to Dr. Washington: "Providence has been kind to me of late, because a piece of realy I bought has risen in value, and when I come to think of it, I can assign no reason for this generosity, except that I have not bothered Providence with my petitions for about forty years." Of course, we agree that all of Carnegie's millions would not compensate for the loss of his soul. However, in view of the excellent use to which he is putting so many of his millions we hope he will petition Providence and have his petition heard before he is called upon to cross the dark river. The board of superintendents of the schools of New York have dropped Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," from the catalogue of the class libraries of the schools, giving as their reason that the book has served its purpose and now only tends to revive sectional feeling. As things now seem to be going, we will soon need another Harriet Beecher Stowe, another John Brown, and another Lincoln to get us out of our impending disasters more dreadful than they were "befo' de wah." Jimmy Britt, the pugilist, has proven himself to be a man, as well as a demonstrator of the "manly art of self-defense." He has refused to draw the color line, as so many of the "pugs" do, and will challenge Joe Gans and endeavor to wrest from him the light-weight championship of the world. Gans does not wish to hold the championship on account of prejudice. He stands ready to defend it and will give Britt "a run for his money." It seems that there is to be an attempt made to knock out Lily Whiteism in Alabama. Last Tuesday both black and white Republicans met in conference in Montgomery and decided to endeavor to correct the wrongdoings of the Birmingham convention. Recommend that only one delegation be sent to the national convention, and that one to be for Roosevelt. Maybe things will improve in Alabama. We hope so. One of the peculiar things about the reports of lynchings is that the victims are usually reported as having made confessions. Of course, dead men can't contradict such statements, though few sane people believe them to be true. But it is not surprising that people who allow their prejudice against color to make murderers of them should try to find some excuse for their crimes in lies. It has been generally supposed that the Indians were dying out, but according to the last census there has been an increase in the last decade of 16.713. Now, as the "Indian problem" has not been effectually settled, race problems will continue to worry the people of this country if Indians and Afro-Americans do not really begin to die out. What has become of the Indianola postoffice affair? We have not heard of it for some time, but as Mrs. Cox has several months yet before the term for which she was appointed expires, we suppose she is drawing her salary regularly, sawing wood and saying nothing. Afro-Americans in Chicago are becoming somewhat anarchistic, as the attempt to dynamite the Institutional Church and its pastor, Rev. R. C. Ransom, last Saturday night, shows. National Business League National Business League. Editor, The Appeal;--I take the liberty of summarizing some of your valued newspaper to remind our people of the fourth annual meeting of the National Negro Business League to be held in Nashville, Tenn., during the coming summer. The people of Nashville have already begun making thorough and elaborate preparations for the meeting of the next gathering, even though the next gathering promises to be the largest and most important in the history of the organization. I especially desire to request that local Negro Business Leagues be organized and sustained in every community where there are no such Leagues at the present time; and I am committed to working with that team and vigor be put into the work of the local Leagues already organized. It seems to be the universal verdict of our people that since the organization of the National Negro Business League has increased the interests of our people have been stimulated and increased throughout the country many per cent., and all agree that the National Negro Business League has more than justified its existence. It is important to once prepare to send delegates to the national meeting to be held in Nashville. In this connection, I wish to call attention to the fact that the report of the proceedings of the annual meeting held Richmond, has been published, and that copies of the report may be secured by writing Mr. S.

What the Newspaper Does 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 beefstacks? Every copy of a newspaper is a product which costs money. The tailor, the tobacconist, the gents furnisher or the grocer is responsible for the delivery 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 free list of a grocery store, a dry goods store, or butcher's shop.

The illustrations by Tom Brown are drawn with skill and enhance the interest of the reader. The author and pencil of the artist are both used with fine effect in laying bare the types whose contrasts are more striking in London than even in Paris or elsewhere. The human vice and virtues. So vivid is the contrast between flatsman and jetsman, coming and going with the nights, in Plicadil, like unto a man who pursues ourselves promenading and parading up and down scenes of Plicadil at night, entering with inviting appearance along the streets, and participating in the gay and sexual life of the city or watching in silence and pity the moral and physical crippies whose names are "It is a scene that stirs the fancy and touches the imagination. As the theatres and music halls of London empty themselves into the streets, the Circus full of the flashing and twinkling of the multitudinous lights of hurrying h 线 of many carriages speeding homeland to supper, of streams of people, men and women, mostly in evening dress walking along, smiling and jesting, and talking of what they have been to see. You catch charming glimpses in the softening electric light of slyph-like forms, pink flushed, happy faces, snowy shoulders hidden in face or chiffon, or cloaks of silk and satin. Diamonds sparkle in my lady's hair; her light laughter ripples over to you, and you smile responsive; a faint fragrance perfumes the wandering air, and the vision sweeps past you on outside your radius. And there are many such visions, each with its own story, its own revelation—but with these we have nothing to do, further than to say that they are all part of this pageant of the night." And of the London half-world author says, "I must this book in all their brevity; the majority of them indeed are not British, but of them are foreigners, but most of them are unmistakely English. Some have been so sober—every one. But what a number of them! And all sorts and sizes, so to say, all fond of a kiss and fond of a sober one." The night side of London "high life" is on the surface extremely kaleidoscopic, and the day side is sensual it differs a little from the night side of high life from what it was since the 1960s. It is always been, and always will be. Mr. H. G. Well's anticipations to the contrary notwithstanding, it everlasting Vanity Fair it is a merry-go-round, whose merriness quickly or slowly, according to the toughness of its moral digs, passes into hypomony. It is deeply interesting at this time when the passions aroused by the "Great War" was not as far as in the tranquility and repose of a patriotic and reunited people, past events can be reviewed with calmness and fairness. The same thing was the historical events connected with the amendment of 14th amendment) and to draw a just conclusion in respect to the purpose and outcomes of the movement and to understand the reasons why the South States declined to accept the terms of reconstruction thus proposed by Congress. The criticism made by Mr. Blaine and the Republican leaders of that time was that the South's action was characterized by a lack of statesmanship and safety, and that the status of the system forced Congress to make negro suffrage the final basis of reconstruction. As an evidence of the change of view in which the state was the only one to be found, we find the following: "Mr. Lincoln had contemplated a reconstruction of the Southern States largely under the auspices of the new government, which plan would have restored the Southern States to representation in the Union of liberal and magnanimous terms." "If Mr. Lincoln had lived, his large personal and political influence, united with his tact and wisdom, might have been so good," he was to a pacification of the South. Mr. Johnson was leading the all-those qualities, and with him the differences between the Executive and theரக. Which Mr. Lincoln would have reconciled and adjusted to same the proportions of an open rupture." "Mr. Lincoln was a patriot as well as a man of honor. His spies it is improbable that the South would have been crushed between the North and the South, but between the Congressional and Executive departments of the government." The volume is a well-resealed and is a very valuable contribution to the history of the country, from the viewpoint of the South. BIRD GODS IN ANCIENT EUROPE. "Bird Gods in Ancient Europe." By C. Kay. With Decorations by Wharton. 22. $20.00. New York: A. S. Barnes & Co. "Bird Gods," by Charles De Kay, is the title of a volume full of the rarest creature relative to the feathered deities of the deptocean and the older races of the earth. There is the evidence of much research in the research which is exposed in narrative style, a creative and entertaining, not only tells us what birds the ancients wished shipped, but tells the philosophy of such worship, and tells the anecdotes which make very delightful stories. "Take the woodpecker as an instance. When we picture to ourselves the Euro-romance of our race, a man of our pulled-up race, finding a m在海 of deep thought how to keep a roof over his head, loving murder. A bloody tyrant (a foraging before power) subject to periodical forces of course, a sloth and ignorance, to disease because of his laziness and filthy habits, we can understand this envy and admiration of a bird, and this is the fact that a male, superhuman traits, has the pictorial side so developed that it can chisel for itself in a few hours a neat, dry cave in the air, and a great one of the heart that seems to find a certain place where no green thing grows, right under its busy beak. Mr. Wisepecker was thought to know the whereabouts of hidden�s, and wherefore he is a special creation of the high god Ukko of the Fmns and has a mysterious affinity to fire, also a rain and higherland. The author then proceeds to tell us of the power the woodpecker exerted over the Romans at the time of Hannibalization. The point of point to the importance of the woodpecker is "The importance of the eyes of the Roman soothsayers can hardly be overestimated. I have a seal, and I am very much more than a man with a bird before him, which he appears to be teaching a trick. That the man is any auspex or soothsayer is reasonable.

Then follows several massacres, shedding the mysterious angel that clustered about the lion winged king. He reckoned, and other birds have in turn turned to the European race—by the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Abyssinians and other peoples, though so mild in days of antiquity, the author further tells us, "he recorded that he first of England that on a certain solemn occasion, a knight, two swans decorated with gold nets, were brought in, and he thereupon danced, the God of Heaven on these two swans. --- JOHN JAMES INGALLS.

Besides his literary work, there is revealed what may be called which, the home side of this interesting reading for his friends and admirers. Letters and fragmentary sketches which have been included exhibit a gentle character of the author, and the character of the author, which is the only character of the author in his public career. The country looked upon him as a carer of the world, and his life was as an endence to satire and keen excoriation, which made him greatly feared by his enemies and his competitors in debate, and in the case of his gallows and the whoers of auditors whenever it was known that he was to speak. It is probable that his power for withering incentive and mastery control of the country was equalled by of his contemporaries. But it is with Senator Ingalls as a man of deep and responsive affection, and as a reflective of his interest in the life of his book presented by his devoted wife has to deal. The following letter affords an illustration of the phase of her husband's change which Mrs Ingalls desires to emphasize: Dearest Wife: "Blue Grass" seems to be one of those compositions that the Those were happy days when it was not so easy to look out over the great river with a roomful of babies; obscure and unknown, waiting for the destiny, so soon to come.

Member of the New Jersey Historical Society. Camden. N. J.: Sinnickson Chew & Sons Co. This monograph is a recital 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 1650—at least that is the earliest recorded instance of ownership of African slaves. Many of the leading citizens engaged in the African slave trade. There is no record of any good old or other slave 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 heirs, slaver to bring to this land." Freedom another Argo of benighted heathen to enjoy the blessings Ferth 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 insignificance to adults from 2000 to 5000. The system of white bondage known as redemptive servitude, existed throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries: This form of bondage was usually voluntary, and at the expira- was usually voluntary, and at the expira- merged into the mass of white population without any special taint of servitude. The importation into the colony of Negro slaves, who were found to be cheaper than white servants, checked in a measur- the trade, redeemable in 1944. 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 states, and the other act in 1839 was still later another in 1846, did not bring about the complete emancipation of the slaves, although there were but 13 in the entire state when the problem was resolved. In 1880, Hon. Garrett A. Hobart, a member of the state, 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 Accom- pany Your Advertising Campaign. £2. Philadelphia, Lincoln Pub- lishing Co.

The Romance of the Commonplace. By Gelett Burgess. $1.50. Paul Elder and Morgan Shepard. This is a volume of modern philosophy, which ranks it as classic as made famous. Jerome K. Jerome, Mr. Burgess says many clever things in his book, and one may glance at any chapter and discover many commonplace things written in a very uncommon manner. In the text of the works, "writes in author," is one of the most contagious of diseases, and few of us are immune. Some vigorous moral constitutions never succumb, but once an epidemic begins it is hard working. It is high in the general population, well high in irresistible. Tell your secret, then, broadcast, and let it have its way until it dies out. But above all never confide it to her who asserts she never has the slightest desire to tell, for the like a seed sowing of the tree, it will eliminate the flower long after you have forgotten it, aye, and bring forth fruit you never planted. Again: "Flattery is, however, edged tool, and must be used with care. I do not, above all, in the direct to decide at the glance just how much his victim will stand." The author treats of art, science and literature with such a delicate, ironical criticism, and withal, with much of much interest as to render this book of unusual interest. PICTURES OF SWÖLISH LIFE.

"The sons of the nobility, when further advanced in life, are accustomed to habits of life more and more and more than the chapter entitled "What's in a Name?" the authors show still further the rule of simplicity of these people and says, "With regard to surnames in Sweden, extremes meet. The highest and lowest have none. Oscar II. is simply Oseren II., dropping the name, dot and the humblest farm laborer is but Anders or Axel, while his wife is simply Brita. Anna or Maria. When a man in humble life has attained distinction even in ordinary callings he may have a title which identifies him as "Tailor Larsen" or Carpenters Erickson."

"When the Bell Tolls," which comes to the Grand for a week's engagement, stands alone in the romantic line of modern sensational drama. The country made famous by William Tell, with its picturequeque chateau, historical castles and notable mountains, has been hitherto utilized by the busy playwright, and Mr. Travers-Vale is fortunate in seizing upon the beautiful Switzerland as the home of his successful play. From a literary standpoint, the play is usually strong, while the intensely exciting situations are stirring enough for the most blaise theatre goer. The play has the special advantage of being produced under the personal directive of the director, and is selected a cast of well-known players to interpret the various characters. The sisted of a piano solo by Miss Else Manning, vocal solos by Miss Hattie Loomis and C. H. Miller, all of which were enthusiastically received. The whole affair was quite pleasant, entertaining and instructive. Card of Thanks.

The agitation of the policy evil and the efforts being put forth by the Afro-American ministers of the city to stop the petty policy gambling was resented last Sunday evening in a way little expected. Rev. R. C. Ransom, pastor of the Institutional Church, has been very active in the war that is being waged on the policy gamblers and has been ably assisted by Rev. Carey, of Quinn Chapel and other city ministers irrespective of color. Rev. Ransom announced to the public that, Sunday evening, his sermon would deal entirely with the evils of policy gambling and the urging of a general fight all along the line against the debauching effects of the business. Ransom was a friend of the community, a friendly policy interests to desist from his efforts and warned that if he persisted in fighting the policy interests he would be fought back. Fearing bodily injury R. Dansom armed himself, little thinking that the destruction of his church would be the method taken to stop him and his co-workers in their efforts to root out the evil. The sermon was delivered and it was a scathing review of the methods by which men, women and children are daily being robbed of thousands of dollars. The speaker showed the money loss was not the worst feature of the case; but what was more to be regretted was the debauching effect it was having upon the young. The policy writers accept the child's pennies as well as the man's dollars. Any one is allowed to play regardless of age or sex. The sermon was listened to by a large audience and the minster had his hearers with him throughout the discourse. Soon after the audience was dismissed, and while the minister, his wife and a few friends were yet in the church a bomb was exploded at one of the outer doors. The explosion was heard a mile away and soon attracted a great crowd about the building. Doors were torn from the hinges, stairways destroyed and the interior of the basement of the church was wrecked; but fortunately no one was injured. The extent of the damage to the building cannot be estimated until a thorough examination is made. Four men were seen to run away immediately after the explosion but no mention of identification were obtained. The office department is making a thorough investigation, but, in the absence of any clue whatsoever, the probability is that perpetrators of the work of the candelabra will go unpunished. The general impression is that friends of the policy interests are responsible for the attempted wrecking of the church. The crusade against policy playing inaugurated by the ministers is bearing fruit. A number of shops have closed up or are hunting for new quarters. "Patsy" King, the boss of the policy combine, is said to be about ready to quit. While the evil may not be entirely eradicated, there is great hope that conditions will be changed for the better. The efforts of the Afro-American ministers has attracted widespread attention and Bishop Grant, of the A. M. church is in the city to lend a helping hand. The National Afro-American Council. ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY. It is evident to the thoughtful among us that we are passing through one of the most critical periods of our country, this country is the one that immediately liberates the liberty and well being of one-eighth of the United States and scarcely to less degree the whole population of the country are pressing for change. This is the ordered experience of mankind teaches that in public matters the equality of each is the surest guarantee of the liberty and security of each person. It is true that the country can not endure free and half slave it follows as a necessary corollary that the manhood of no state can be equal to the manhood of no equal parts into voters, and non-voters. A systematic effort has been inaugurated to object the withdrawal of the franchise from the Afro-Americans of that section, and the object of the government is the withdrawal of the savvery in all the relations of life. Even college graduates and men of business and welfare have been openly declared by some of the most prominent leaders of the *South* that it now new constitutions to disfranchise as many Afro-Americans as possible and leave every Caucasian in the country without the effect has been not only has the Afro-American been disfranchised but also that a very large number of republican institutions have ceased to register for the adoption of these constitutions participated in elections, have ceased to register for the adoption of these constitutions have rendered insuree. We contend for our constitutional principles that the right of suffrage which is the basis of the individual sovereignty of the American citizen is greater than the right of the greater sovereignty of the whole body politic, has been conferred upon its citizens by the Federal Government were not conferred by a single state but by all of the states, therefore the National Government will enforce the provisions of the Constitution. We heartily commend the Afro-America and other states, who are seeking redress through the courts of the land and we urge them our moral and financial support. We denounce the mob murders now so prevalent in this country. We call the attention of the country to a condition of service on many farms in a number of the Southern states resembling very much the old peonage system and in violation of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution, and ask for legislation looking to the remedying of the evil. We submit our protest against the unfair practices in the transportation of passengers in Southern states, discriminating unjustly against Afro-Americans; requiring of them the highest rates for travel and providing in return the poorest accommodations in carriage; and we involve the exercise of the powers of the Inter-State Commerce Commission, by that tribunal, to prevent discriminations in rates and accommodations against inter-state passengers.
