The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, waiting no words. 3- Its correspondents are able and energetic. CHANCE TO REFORM HOW WORRIED FATHER COM-FORTED HIS HEART. His Scapegrace Son, by Enlisting in the Marine Corps, Was at Least Safe from Misadventure for Four Years—May Yet Make His Mark. He is regarded as the scapegrace of the family, and both parents long since despaired of him. Having despaired of him, the mother clung to the closer to him, demanding suspension of judgment. The father gave him till 35 to come to his normal senses and achieve fame, fortune and family. After doing the United States thoroughly, he spent two months in Cuba, half a year in Yucatan, a fortnight in Panama, a month in Nicaragua, a week in Sombrero, three weeks in Labrador, a year in Cape Nome and seven weeks with the army of Castro in Venezuela. In all these trials and tribulations he managed to keep out of fail. One cold day he surprised his parents with the announcement that he was to sail for Scotland on the following morning to make his fortune. "Scotland?" gasped both in a breath. "Scotland" he said solemnly. "Scotland," he shait. He named the ship he was to sail on, and the parental blessing was conferred. No one thought of seeing him off. Two days later the father, looking over the list of arrivals of outgoing steamships, saw the name of the very one that the secapegrap had sailed on. It was stabbed from Glasgow. "What! Glasgow in two days," he exclaimed, doing a war shuffle on the parlor carpet. "Something wrong. Surely that ship did not go by wireless telegraph." The mother said: "Never mind; what my boy said will turn out all right. He may have taken one of the turbine steamers." The father did not disturb her fond imaginations. Next day Cardinal Gibbons came on from Baltimore to attend some festivities at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and our doubling father, having known the grand old man from infancy, hastened to join him in the yard. In tow of the Admiral they went out to see the re view of sailors and marines. A company of the latter wheeled into position before the party, and the doubt father's heart stood still. There in the ranks stood the scapegrace, with a grin on his face a yard wide. "My son — a — private — in" "My — son — a — private — in the — Marine Corps!" he gurgled. The Cardinal inquired if he was ill. "Yes, father. Look—look there; my boy!" The Cardinal, who had been acquainted with the boy from the time when mother's little ray of sunshine wore swaddling clothes, remarked soto voice: "Let him alone! Best place for him! Afterward the boy went aboard ship with his company and was next heard from when the crusier weathered the storm off the Azores. "Dear Papa," he wrote. "It has been the fearfulest time of my life. We have been on our beam ends for three days, and during that period I have been doing stunts with God. Your affectionate son," etc. "Well, it nearly broke my heart at first," says the father, "but my boy is our best treatment for at least four weeks, the term of enlistment. Maybe he'll settle down after that and be a bron for my old age." The youth is six feet two and a quarter inches, straight as a pine and good looking. He may make his mark and no doubt will.

"The old saying that nothing is too small to steal is exemplified in our business," said a manufacturer of custom-made clothing. "Our thread gives us lots of trouble. We have to keep a watch eye upon it. The case in which it is kept is under the supervision of our most trusted employee. If he chose to be dishonest he could rob us of $5,000 a year and we would be none the wiser. We could perhaps, more that we were using more thread than usual, but the excess might be attributed to other causes. "We have to check out every spool we give to our tailors. Even at this we are in danger of having a cheaper grade substituted. The difference in the price of the spools may be only one or two cents, but it offers a tempation if the scheme can be worked on a large scale. Some years ago we were forced to the conclusion that a 'fence' was being operated to dispose of stolen thread. The spools were sold by peddlers from house to house, so his suspicion caused large establishment's 'to have each spool stamped with dyes which cut into the wood, stating that the thread was stolen from such and such a shop the name of which was stamped on the spool." LAWYERS WITH ONE CLIENT They Are the Fortunate Ones of the Profession. The poverty of briefness barristers is as proverbial as that of the church mouse. It would not be an unnatural mistake to consider a barrister with only one client hardly better off than one with none. But the modern "one-client lawyer" is usually a prosperous individual. Said a man well known in the business world some years ago to a friend: "I am a young lawyer to a desk he/she mines. I'll familiarize him with my affairs, and then I want him to keep me out of trouble." The counterpart of this lawyer, whose duty it is to act as his own client's ounce of prevention, may be found in the office of many large concerns. He is often connected with trust companies, banks, banking houses, railroad and other transportation companies and large wholesale mercantile houses. When a merchant found himself in a tangle, it was once the custom for him to go to his lawyer for advice.

A "Moated Grange" Mystery That Has Stirred England Complete Disappearance of Wealthy and Talented Woman Now Being Investigated - Suspicious Circumstances in the Case. and from the Grange, after living here for barely three weeks, she disappeared as utterly as if she suddenly half buried in a heap of rubbish, has been found a human skull, without a morsel of flesh remaining upon it. A PHOTOGRAPH OF SAMUEL DOUGAL, WHO LIVED AT THE MOAT FARM, AND A YOUNG WOMAN WHOSE FACE HAS BEEN OBLITERATED. THE BRIDGE SPANNING THE MOAT BETWEEN THE FARMYARD AND THE HOUSE THE MOATED GRANGE, CLAVERING, ESSEX. An Old-Time Loop-the-Loop THE SEESAW Apart from the utter obscurity surrounding the disappearance of the wealthy and talented woman who is the central figure of the so-called "Motated Grange Mystery," which is now occupying the attention of the public in England, by far the most striking thing about the affair is the grim appropriateness of its scene. The ancient, forbidding manor house, surrounded by its canal of dull water, standing in the midst of a property neglected for years, buried in a desate country district, miles away from the nearest village, was the place of all places that a Wilkie Collins or a Gaborian would have selected as the scene of such a tragedy as it is now believed took place there. The man who stands in Essex, several miles from the sleepy little town of Clavering came with the man whom she believed to be her husband Camille Holland, an elderly an authoress, a musician and a painter—and from the Grange, after living there for barely three weeks, she disappeared as utterly as if she suddenly THE BRIDGE SPANNING THE MOAT BETWEEN THE FARMYARD AND THE HOUSE had returned to the original dust. Of this, however, the outside world knew nothing. The man at the Grange went on living there. He took in the letters that came for the vanished woman. It was nearly four years ago that Miss Holland disappeared from the Grange, but ever since that time the man, Samuel Dougal, has presented regularly at her bank checks supposedly drawn and signed by the missing woman. He now believed that Dougal forged these checks. Recently the bank officials became suspicious at never seeing or hearing directly from the woman upon whose large account her supposed husband was continually drawing. The inquiries they set on foot revealed that "Mrs. Dougal," or Miss Holland, had disappeared long before, and Dougal was arrested just as he was attempting to leave the country. He now is charged with forgery and held on suspicion of a graver crime. Since the outside world learned the story which has been whispered about An Old- We think of the loop-the-loop as something new. Here, however, is a cut reproduced from L'Illustration of Sept. 12, 1846. An inventor named Clavieres set up the "aerial centrifugal railway" to demonstrate centrifugal force; the circle of the loop was about 13 feet for the last three years in the rustic neighborhood of Clavering, the attention of the public has been fixed upon the ancient and gloomy Essex mansion, with its Old World "moat" and its barren surrounding acres. The police are now ransacking it from end to end—searching for signs of the woman who came to the Mooted Grange in such mysterious circumstances. The evil-appearing moat, which is spanned only by a single bridge, has thus far been the object of their chief attentions. It and still another waterway connected with it are known as the "subsidiary moat" and are present being carefully drained, and already two ghastly discoveries have been made, the importance of which, however, cannot be stated exactly. On a little islet which rises from the moat human bones have been found—half a pelvis, a portion of a forearm and fragments of other limbs; and in a small outbuilding near the Grange, half buried in a heap of rubbish, have been found a human skull, without a morsel of flesh remaining upon it.

The police, however, do not feel certain that these are the remains of the vanished woman, for the characteristics as well as the condition of the Grange show it to be so old that these remains may have been buried years before Dougal and Miss Holland went to the Grange. The talented woman who has disappeared so utterly was 63 years old. Born in India, she had made her home in London for years, once living in Maida Vale, next door to the house occupied by Mary Anderson, the actress. Miss Holland is said to have been related to an English peer and to a foreign prince. She had sung at fashionable concerts, she had written fairly successful novels. Pictures from her former learned the walls of her London house. Miss Holland and Samuel Dougal met through a matrimonial advertisement. He is a man of middle age, whose early career as a soldier was a brilliant one. Its promise, however, was not kept, and Dougal once before has been in prison for forgery.

He used to place in the cars glasses of water, etc. Sometimes to amuse the spectators he would place dummies in the cars, as shown in the cut. Once only he allowed a workman to make the trip, about 80 yards, doing it in eight seconds. The name of this Defective Page gal was already married when he met Miss Holland, but it was thought he must have told her he was free and that he had gone through a mock marriage ceremony with her, as the woman was intensely religious and probably would not have consented to live with him without supposing herself to be his wife. It was Miss Holland's money which bought the Matted Grange, though Dougal discovered the place and decided to live there. This was a few months after their "marriage". Dougal refuses to throw any light upon his "wife"'s disappearance from the Grange three short weeks after she first entered it. But a servant who lived with the couple and who remained at the Grange for a short time after its mistress' vanishing, declares that the man told her that "Mrs. Dougal" had gone away on a short visit; PHOTOGRAPH OF SAMUEL LOUGAL, LIVED AT THE NOAT FARM AND A YOUNG MAN WHOSE FACE HAS BEEN OBLITERATED. If she did she never returned it. Her dresses and all her belongings have remained at the Grange, and she has not drawn upon her account at the National Provincial bank in London. No word from her has reached her relatives, to whom she wrote constantly until she went to live at the gloomy house near Clavering. She simply has vanished. And so the conviction is grueling that this woman of memoir and rare attachments was done to death within the shadow of the lonely Grange—and for a motive that is not far to seek—London correspondence New York Press.

RULERS AND THEIR TITLES. European Monarchs Have Different Ways-of Signing Documents. Although the late queen of the Brit- ish empire was accustomed to use her imperial title in signing public documents—"Victoria R. I."—her son and successor prefers the more simple "Edward R." This preference was especially noticeable in his coronation messages to his subjects last year. To the people of the United Kingdom he signed himself "Edward R." but it was "Edward R. I." to the people and the complex. Conclusively, it was the most correct, for the titles act of 1878 stipulates that the imperial dignity shall not be used in Britain, but only in India. It is notable and characteristic that the German emperor, who is emperor only by reason of his position as king of Prussia, puts his imperial rank first and signs "William I. R." Sovereigns always sign at the top of the paper; hence the phrase, "Given under our hand and seal." The reason is that no name may appear above the royal one. When Louis Philippe visited Queen Victoria at Windsor they went over Eton. Before leaving their signatures in the visitors' book were requested. The bourgeois king wrote his name first. Etienne foradeb her majesty to sign her name below his, an, with the readiest tact, she turned over a leaf to write "Victoria R." at the top of the paper. But the haughtiest signature is that of the king of Spain, who disdains names, and signs himself "Yo Rey Ey" ("J, the King"). The pope, unlike other temporal rulers, always adds his distinguishing numeral, "Leo XIII." LOVING CUP HAS A HISTORY: Long Connection with Famous English Men of Letters A loving cup with an interesting history has come into the possession of Sir William Treloar. According to the inscriptions on the cup, it appears to have been a present from Edmund Burke to Samuel Johnson in honor of the latter's stay at Beaconsfield in 1774. It then passed to Oliver Goldsmith, and on his death was given by the family and members of the Turk's头头 club, and its officers, to be quaffed from by each member present at cockcrow hour appearing." This club, was a select literary coterie and was founded by Johnson and Reynolds in 1772, taking its name from an old coffee house in Gerrard street. Now known as "The Club," and of small but exclusive membership, it favors a hotel in Trafalgar square, London, when its occasional meetings are summoned. The present prime minister of England is a mem Occasional Visitors A gentleman having an estate in the Highlands, as he was going abroad for some time, advertised the shooting to let, and told his gamekeeper, Donald, who was to show the ground, to give it a character to anyone who called to see it.

"Thousands of them, too." "Any partridges?" "Thousands of them, too." "Any woodcock?" "Thousands of them, too." The Englishman, thinking Donald was drawing the long bow, asked if there were any gorillas. Donald drew him. "Weel, they are no so plenitufu; they just come occasionally, noo and again, like yourself." Narrow Escape from Death. Fantastic escapes from death were by no means uncommon features of the Boer war. There was exhibited some time ago in the museum of the royal museum of the Netherlands, of Queen Victoria's chocolate boxes, in the lid of which is still deeply imbedded a Mauser bullet. To that same collection there has just been added an even more remarkable relic. This is a silver cigarette-holder case, which was struck by a bullet at a distance of 1,200 yards while it was in the pocket of a captain of the imperial yeomanry. The curious part about the officer was until afterward that he had been struck, although the bullet also pierced the sovereign purse and cigarette case which he was carrying in the same pocket. Danger in Both Manias. There are certain Americans who are money-mad. They want to make millions upon millions and make them in a minute. There are a great many more Americans who are maddened by the thought that anybody should have a million. Between those who are trying to pile up and those who are bound to tear down there is a furious combat, productive of numerous incidental casualties among the bystanders. Both parties have been driven too fast and too far by their mania. It is time for them to get sobered and take some thought about the common interest—New York Times. A Picture.

Millions Upon Millions Turned Out from American Factories Every Year and Immense Importations Come from Abroad-Various Woods Used. There is one article of manufacture that is used so extensively in the United States that no one has an idea of the annual quantity consumed, namely, wooden toothpicks. According to an expert the number is simply incalculable. Millions upon millions of the tiny wooden silvers are turned out every year from American factories alone, and on top of this the number comes from Portugal and Japan and other countries nearly as large as the domestic product. Most of the American toothpicks come from Franklin county, in Maine, near the forest home of the white birch, out of which 95 per cent of the domestic toothpicks are made. This wood is soft and pliable and of admirable resistance for the purpose for which it is used. Whole mills in Maine are devoted to supplying the country with toothpicks, and in the forest is finished and most intricate of machinery. So tremendous is the output of these machines that in a brief season, during the spring, enough toothpicks can be made to supply the markets of the entire country for the year to come. A further idea of the capacity of the machines may be had from the fact that only 100 men are necessary to operate and run all the mills in Franklin county. Other mills of this kind are used for the manufacture and Massachusetts and western New York, but the real home of the toothpick is Maine. White birch is not the only wood used for the domestic toothpick, maple and poplar are employed as well, but birch has the property of retaining its forest odor and sweetness. The felling of toothpick trees is only incidental to the regular lumber work of the Maine foresters. No especial care is taken to maintain the trees. But whenever the foreman of a gang of woodmen comes across a tree especially adapted to toothpicks he orders it felled and laid aside. The branches of the tree are then trimmed and only the trunk itself is transported to the mills. There the bark is skinned and the naked trunk is run through a machine which severs in into veneer "Veneers" is the technical expression for thin strips of wood no thicker than a piece of blotting paper and no wider than the trunk. The trunk has been cut into these sheets of wood, only one process remains to turn out the toothpicks fit for packing and shipping to market. The veneers are fed into a second machine supplied with sharp, rotary knives that whirl at tremendous high speed, snapping the veneers into toothpicks at the rate of hundreds of thousands an hour. It is only the so-called "fancy" toothpick that is not made in this country. In Portugal, from where most of the sticks and pads are imprinted, the sticks are sharpened by young girls, who in return for turning out "picks" are paid three cents a day. The Japanese toothpicks are made of fine reeds, and are distinct from those sent to this country by the Portuguese manufacturers. A Japanese toothpick is delicate and thin as tissue paper, and nevertheless strong and pliable. The Japanese toothpick maker earns even less than his Portuguese fellow-craftsmans, his remuneration being but a fraction of two cents a day. A 1,000 toothpicks may be bought in Japan for as much as it boots only to pack and box 100 of American make—New York Times. Not Deserving of Sympathy. Not Deserving sympathy.

For more than a quarter of a century there have been hundreds of letter carriers in the south, and in the north; and, we have never heard one instance where one of them committed an act of heroism or at any other time. With such a record it is most pusillanimous for men (?) such as ex-Governor McMillin and Representative Gains of Tennessee to profess a "fear of allowing an Afro American to carry a rifle" to the homes of their neighbors. They say the south readily accepts Afro-Americans as laborers but they do not wish them to cross the threshold of their homes as officials, and right there all the trouble arises. They seem deer in the hunt, and they do not hold, even the petty position of "rural mail carrier." It is absolute, uncontrovertible, unadulterated bosh, for any man to claim to be the friend of any other man, who is not willing to accept him, or to be the owner unaccented, of any right, privilege or opportunity he himself enjoys, or is entitled to enjoy by reason of having been born a citizen of the United States, or made one according to the laws of the United States. And for these prejudiced whites both south and north to prate of being "the best friends the Afro-American has" and then to refuse him every opportunity to be anything but a man of honor, of hope and opportunity in his face when he appears before it, is as we say, BOSH! They claim that what the Afro-American needs is education, but when, as in the case of John C. Allwood, the letter carrier in question, he proves himself to be the equal of his white competitors he becomes a "monstrosity" to be feared. Allwood passed a competitive examination and stood on an average with a white man named Dillard, who, because of being white, was given the first appointment, but subsequently declined and Allwood, being the highest on the list, was appointed. And he was not appointed until after "a careful inquiry and report by the special agent or the route inspector to the patrons with the patrons of the route and the extent to which he has their confidence, his general characteristics, suitability, and fitness for the position, and his character and reputation." No protests, were fled against Allwood's appointment and protests from patrons in any case are always considered and investigated by the central WVU institute are received it, of course, understood that the services are satisfactory to the patrons of the route. Now, is it not preposterous, in view of the manner in which a rural car must be selected, that Moor and Gaines would make such insinuating assertions; and, is it not damnable that the white people of Allwood's community would be treated his education, which placed him on a par with the highest white man on the list, if he could not enjoy the result of his intelligence, even after the white competition had been appalled? To hell with all such friends! Afro-Americans may now look for all sorts of insults from the white hirelings, at places of public entertainments, since the colorophilists of Georgia are making a heroine of one who refused to make Dr. Booker T. Washington's bed at a hotel in Indianapolis, and who was discharged by the proprietor for her refusal to obey orders. It is said a purse is held in the room, and a bermaid and already several hundreds of dollars have been subscribed. The proprietor of the hotel is to be commended for his manliness. The late Potter Palmer of Chicago used to say of his hotel, that any man who would pay his prices must be a gentleman while a guest at the Palmer House. The result was there was seldom any serious trouble on account of the color line in that famous hostelry. And there would be little trouble anywhere backbone to stand up for the right in every case. The virus from Tennessee has reached Maryland, and the first Afro-American ever appointed postmaster in the state. Andrew J.

Atlanta, Ga., May 11.—A movement has been started in Georgia to raise a handsome purse for Miss Louise Haddley, the Indianapolis chambermaid who refused to make up a bed which was occupied by Booker Washlington, and was discharged for her retusal. Already the citizens of Senioa, Ga., have made up a purse of $25 for Miss Haddley, and an appeal will be made to other towns, so that it is probable that a handsome sum will be realized. Many people have sent to Miss Haddley, assuring her that Christians appreciate her action. Anniversary Exercises.

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 shoes. The newspaper is a product which costs money. The tailor, the tobacconist, the genis' 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 free copy or newspaper from the grocery store, place on the free 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. NEW YORK OLD AND NEW. New York Old and New. By Rufus Rockwell Wilson. Two volumes. Illustrated. Extra backram. Net. $5.50. Phil- and famous battles fought during the War of the Rebellion are detailed and much information which has hitherto remained obscure, is brought to light. Perth Amboy was New Jersey's chief entry and blacks were to be mere in good numbers, many of the freely imported and still bearing the dirty soldier's skin. "New York Old and New." by Rufus Rockwell Wilson, is a publication in two volumes and one of the first series with the same name and date. In the following the struggle upon the high seas between Spain, Holland and England for the massacre of the United States, which is the most sketch of the settlement of New Amsterdam by the Dutch. This story of the establishment of the World colonial dependentives of the world, and the two volumes of endurance, fortitude and tireless labor in the midst of vicissitudes and dangers which would have been a way of early race. After recounting the growth of political institutions and the successive administrations of the colony and the war with the two volumes of the first series, who were also the "from Rule," Peter Stuyvesant, who declared in the presence of a welcoming and joyful people that they were to go to the children. He soon taught the colonists the meaning of his remark "that he would not them be the only one who has been a political, dictational methods which brooked no opposition, by a stubborn and unyelding disposition to enforce a system of government and the future of which was utterly contrary to that which they had been accustomed to living under in the representative towns of Holland and the state. The first story of the development was wrong from the home authorities. Stuyvesant claimed and often exercised the right to process the essential assemblies. He also assumed the right that he still had authority to make ordinances and issue proclamations of the same rights and have been given the people wherein the rights of the governor were clearly limited and fixed by the king—or "High "The charter of 1653 marked the visible beginning of representative government in the United States, whose heroic labors it was due deserve and ever hold an honorable place in history." There were no idlers in the New American Duty, and Dutch were a pleasure loving people, and found leisure for an abundance of homely and leisure. "The fight for a free press" is one of the most interesting chapters in the first volume of the book, censorship, incarceration of editors who dared tell the truth, and finally the triumph of a piece of history which is not very well known in the world. "A narrative—it is the story of the "Great Negro Plot" in 1741, the story of the town's population. Slave importation into the town began some time prior to the town showed two thousand four hundred and a thousand. Thereafter the natural increase of the slaves and the importation of slaves in the town supplied of labor for the needs of the colony." The author then, after a series of events, calls us that in the course of time the white people have become a passive attitude of the slaves and have to enact such drastic laws against them in constant dread of an uprising. THE NIGHT SIDE OF LONDON "It is a scene that stirs the fancy and the atmosphere and music balls. London empty themselves into the streets, the Circus is multitudinous lights of hurrying hamsons of many carriage speeding people men and women, mostly in evening dresses and men and women, mostly in evening dresses, talking of what they have been to see. You catch charming glimpses in the soft, pink flushed, happy faces, snowy shoulders hidden in lace or chiffon, or cloaks my lady's hair, light laughter ripples a faint fragrance perfumes the wanderer air, and the vision sweeps past you, there are many such visiones each with a story, its own revelation—but with these they are all part of this pageant of the night. They are the London half-world the author says: "On this lovely summer night the majority of them indeed are badly dressed, nor are all painted. Some are unmistakably English. Some them bold eyes, some have not. They seem to be the ones of them: And all sorts and sizes, so to say, all fond of a kiss and fond of a The night side of London "high life" is on the surface extremely kaleidoscopic, with its brightness and luminosity sentials it differs a little from the night side of high life from what it was since the 1960s. It has always been, and always will be. Mr H. W. Gell's anticipations to the conference will be pleasure in an everlasting Vanity Fair. It is a merry-go-round, whose merriness quickly or slowly, according to the toughness of the moral digestion, passes into mopstones. Sketches of club life among the working people and their amusements; sketches 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. The book ought to have a large sale. MISSISSIPPI HISTORICAL SOCIETY. Publications of the Mississippi Historical Society: Vol. VI. Edited by Franklin L. Riley, Secretary. Ph. 568. Oxford, Miss. Printed for the Society. The sixth volume of the "Publications of the Mississippi Historical Society" is one of the most interesting which that society has yet given to the public. Besides giving much interesting data with reference to the early history and settlement of the state, it follows in a succinct and careful manner the industrial development of the state. The wars which were fought in the and famous battles fought during the War of the Rebellion are described, and many of the relations which has hitherto remained obscured by the reconstruction of the Southern States is elaborately set up in the order of the point of view of the war and in the light of the present agitation over the suffrage question, it will be interesting to note some things contained in the chain of the construction of the war. It is deeply interesting at this time, when the passions aroused by the "Great Civil War" have passed away, and when the war and the reconstruction of the economic and reunited people, past events can be reviewed with calmness and fairness to examine the great historical events of the great reconstruction with its management of 14th amendment) and to draw a just conclusion in respect to the purpose and means of its advocates; and to understand the reasons of the Reconstruction 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 characterically by the Act of statesmanship and safety, and that the situation was not a result of Congress to make negro suffrage the final basis of reconstruction. In the case of the change of view in which the South now now were the final cases of the new and the following: "Mr. Lincoln had contemplated a reconstruction of theிரmed States largely under the auspices of the execution of the war. Which plan would have restored the Southern States to representation in the Union on liberal and magnammous terms." "If Mr. Lincoln had lived, his large personal fortune would have united with his tact and wisdom to smoothed the way to a pacification of the Indians, and with him all those qualities, and with him the differences between the Executive and the Legislature, and between reconciled and adjusted assumed the proportions of an open rupture, and as well as a great statesman, and under his auspices it is improbable that the South would have been a contending force in a political war between the Congressional and Executive governments. The volume is beautiful, and is a very valuable contribution to the viewpoint of the South, country, from the viewpoint of the South. BIRD GODS IN ANCIENT EUROPE "Bird Gods in Ancient Europe," by Chirlard De Bortolozzi. By Wharton. 12m, 273 pp. $20.00. New York: A. S. Barnes & Co. $18.00. The author rather unique title of a volume full of the rarest class of information relative to the ancient world, the most ancient and the oldest races of the earth. There is the evidence of much research in narrative style, and the exposed in narrative style once attained and entertaining. It is not only tells us what the ancients worshipped, but goes into the philosophy of such worship, and tells us what makes very delightful myths. "Mr. Woodpecker was thought to know how thereabouts of hidden treasures, he was a special treasery; he has high good Ukko of the Finn, and has mysterious affinity to fire, also a rain and thunder god." The author then proceeds to tell us of the author the woodpecker exerted over the Romans at the time of Hannibal's entry into the peninsula. Says he "the importance of the woodpecker in the eyes of the Roman soldiers and hardly be overstipulated. I have seen, scarab-like in form, showing a man seated with a bird before him, which he appears to be teaching a trick. That the man is an auspeur. However, he really certifies from the fact that he wears the conical cap seen on the little stutette with Etruscan inscription in the Vatican Museum. Then follows several very interested answers and an�y of the superstions power for good and will clustering about the little winged god. The Cuckoo, Peacock, Owl and other birds have been in turn been worshipped by the early Etruscan races. Theய்man's and other Etruscan Egyptians. Abyssinians and other powerful races who wrought so mightily in days of antiquity. The author further tells us that "it is regarding the Edward the First of England that on a certain solemn occasion in the year 1304, his investiture as a knight, two swans decorated with gold nets, were brought in, and he thercupon swore to the good of Heaven on two wans." ```markdown ``` John James Ingalls.

The Hudson-Kimberly The writings, speeches, and orations of the late Senator Ingalls, one of the greatest men of Kansas was a product of the then-old American Service of future generations in book form, and the collection is authorized by Mrs. Ingalls, who has devoted to nearly two years of work in the public media of the volume. For the sides his literary work, there is revealed what may be called the home side of this listingulish Roman, who has been reading his friends and admirers. Letters and fragmentary sketches which have been included exhibit a gentle and�-endless character of Senator Ingalls which he did not manifest to the world in his public career. The country looked upon him as a man of whom he had not been endowed to satire and keen excoriation, which made him greatly feared by his enemies and his competitors in debate, and his love to the good of the thousands of auditors whenever it was known that he was to speak. It is probable that his power for withering incentive and masterment of the general was not as equal as he of his contemporaries. But it is with Senator Ingalls as a man of deep and responsive affection, and as a reflective individual, and of the most unrest, that he took presented by his devoted wife has to deal. The following letter affords an illustration of the phase of her husband's charisma 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 written out over the great river with a roomful of babies; obscure and unknown, waiting for the destiny of one of the conspicuous figures of the country for life. But I would not recall my life and live it over again if I could, unless with the help of a few friends, correct errors and correct mistakes.

Hesston Member of the National Association of Black N.J. J. Stapleford, Chew, & Scoops Co. This monograph is a recital of slavery and servitude as it existed in New Jersey and the South, and the existence existed in America long before 1619 when the Dutch traders came to their settlements in New Jersey. The Aztecs in Mexico enslaved not only enemies taken in battle but also the convicted of theft and other crimes. African slavery was introduced in New Jersey in 1608—at least enemies taken in battle were the convicted of ownership of African slaves. Many of the leading citizens engaged in the African slave trade were good old elder, whose ventures on the African coast always turned out well, and whose bravery allowed lowing the arrival of a slave into the harbor in these words. An overturning of the slave trade in this land of freedom another cargo of benighted heathen to enjoy the blessings Perth Amboy was New Jersey's chief port of entry, and blacks were to be seen in the port. They were freely imported and still bearing their tribal marks. Adults sold from $200 to $500 and were known as redemptive servitude, existed throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and was usually voluntary, and at the expiration of the term the redemptioners were merged into the mass of white population in the city. The importation into the colony of Negro slaves, who were found to be cheaper than whites, was a measure the trade in redemptioners. Many white convicts were shipped to the Indian Islands, and were merged into the main colony. An act providing for the graduation of the new New Jersey legislature in 1894, a furious New Jersey legislature in 1894, did not bring about the complete emancipation of the slaves, although the governor of New Jersey, Lincoln's proclamation was issued, in 1894. Lincoln's proclamation was issued, in 1894, a member of the state state, introduced and had passed a bill which removed from New Jersey the last vestige of slavery in New Jersey. The little book contains much valuable information. SALLY WISTER'S JOURNAL. Sally Wister's Journal. A true narrative, being a Quaker mans account of continental army. 1771-1778.

A story of municipal politics depicting practically all large cities. While no attempt has been made to develop a particular locality, the political methods employed have been taken from the act of voting, the public in some capacity or other, and the public in some of the characters are literally true.

James, the Twin City agent for the Boot and Shoe Workers, and Henry W. Goetzinger, the present vice president of the State Federation. The police have thoroughly investigated the alleged holdup of G. W. Boynton on Sixth street Monday night, and have found the men of whom Boynton complained. They are both waiters at the Ryan, and were on their way home when Boynton, they say, asked them to direct him. He gave one of the men 10 cents and the others said he was "stingy" for not giving more. A dispute followed as the men walked along to opposite sides of the street. S. G. Wilson, who was passing at the time, saw the affair. He said that there was no attempt at a holdup and than Boynton did not claim that he was held up while talking to him or DY MARRIED LIFE can go out without the fire to The Jane Martin Brown Home.

The plot hinges on a dastardly conspiracy hatched against the heroine who is wealthy in her own right and whose father is the owner of au ultrafashionable and exclusive Michigan Avenue gambling place, as well as being a prominent Chicago Board of Trade man.

Liberal premium in all departments have characterized the offerings of the Minnesota State Fair for many years, but this season's premium list, which has just been issued from the press, rather excels all previous premium schedules made by the society. Over $20,000 is offered to exhibitors. This is divided among the usual classes, but includes many additions, such as four or five premiums for a lot where before there were only three, for the insertion of new lots, or the actual increase of the amount of a premium in a standard classification. The list includes full details of the national excattle division again this year. Among exhibitions of the Herefords and Shorthorns, which will be features of the interesting items in this department is a new class for Minnesota Shorthorns, in which inside breeders may not compete. H. F. Brown and N. P. Clarke have generously agreed not to enter their cattle in this competition, leaving it open for the smaller breeders of the state. Arrangements for the county exhibits have been made even more generous than heretofore, and for farmers' individual exhibits there are new premiums. The same is true of poultry, sheep, swine and other classes. The Minnesota State Fair always pays its premiums promptly and is especially liberal in its treatment of exhibitors. It is believed that the revised premium list for 1903 will lead to much larger exhibits and that there will be a more general participation by all classes of Knox Hats. ery Sale in honor of our opportunity to se- ely nominal cost.

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, and we must also concern the liberty and well being of one-eighth of the United States and scarcely to less degree the whole population of the country. We must concern the liberty before the recorded experience of mankind teaches that in public matters the equality of each is the surest guarantee of the liberty. If it be true that the country can not endure 'half free and half slave it follows as a necessary corollary that the manhood of nearly all men is essential to nearly all parts into voters and non-voters. A systematic effort has been inaugurated on the part of the South which has been franchise from the Afro-Americans of that section, and their reduction to a position of absolute subservience in the South. The franchise of graduates and men of business and wealth have been denied the right of franchise. It has been openly declared by some of the most respected members of the South that the intention of the framers of the new constitutions to disfranchise as many Afro-Americans as possible has been a large charge of the session of suffrage. The effect has been that not only has the Afro-American been disfranchised but also that a large number of them, which prevailed in the adoption of these constitutions participated in elections, have ceased to register and vote, and thus the very foundation of institutions have been rendered insecure. We contend for our constitutional rights on the ground of the right of self-government, the basis of individual sovereignty of the American citizen, which in turn is the basis of the agrarianism of the United States, has been conferred upon its citizens by the Federal Government. The powers of the Federal Government were established by the Constitution, therefore the National Government can enforce the provisions of the Constitution. We also commend the Afro-Americans of Virginia, Alabama, Louisiana, and other states, who are seeking redress through the courts of the land and we pledge them our moral and financial sup- 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 biking very much the old peonage system and in violation of the Thirteenth Amendment for legislation looking to the remedying of the evil, to submit our protest against the unfair practices in the transportation of passengers in Southern states, discriminating unfairly against the highest rates for travel and providing in return the poorest accommodations in carriage; and to prevent discrimination in the Commerce Commission of the Inter-State Commerce Commission, by that tribunal, to prevent discriminations against inter-state passengers. We appeal to the Congress of the United States to prevent discrimination several measures now pending therein for the appointment of a commission to inquire into the condition of the Afro-American We heartily endorse the deliverances of President Roosevelt, the commitment to office, and the attitude of the Federal Government toward all of its citizens, regardless of race, religion, nationality, and vigor to the time-honored principles and traditions of human rights, and has been a strong supporter of struggling heroclysm beneath the burden of hate and proscription. We commend Theodore Roosevelt to the affection and confidence of our people regardless of affiliation. WILLIAM A.
