THE DAYS OF GOLD SOME OLD CHARACTERS OF THE -MINES. Amusing Antics of Poor Men Suddenly Made Millionaires by a Trick of Fortune—Why Mrs. Flanagan Suddenly Retired from Business. In the flush times in Colorado queen characters became rich in a day. One of the most picturesque of them was Pat Casey of Black Hawk. Pat was a day laborer without education. He could not read or write, and could hardly count. But when he was working on a little prospect hole one fine morning a single blast disclosed a great vein of wonderfully gold filled he became at once "Mr. Casey." His mine was one of the show places which tourists visited, and he himself was the greatest curiosity around the mine. He was much ashamed of his illiteracy, and of one his fobiles was to keep a pile of pencils on his table in the office of the mine. Whenever he saw strangers coming he began sharpening a pencil, and to inform the administrator, in a brougue that was all wool and a yard wide, that "I use twelve lilc pincils a day in me business." The superintendent of the adjoining mine was a Colonel. When Casey heard this he had all his men called up out of the mine and made a speech to them from the dump pile. "Byes," said he, "when there be consecrtethert he, yez will all be sure call me Kunnel Casey. And when the same gyez will all take a drink." He heard that there was such a thing as a diamond drill used in mining, but had not the remotest idea what it was, but he was with difficulty dissuaded from buying one, having got it into his head that it was used to discover diamonds in gold mines. There was an industrious couple named Flanagan in Black Hawk had been working on poverty, poverty, poverty, and his prospecting without finding anything, and the wife supporting the family by taking in washing. One day her customers found themselves without clean linen, and one of them went out to her cabin, on the mountain side, to find out what the trouble was. He found her arrayed in all kinds of finery sitting on a wooden stool on the dirt floor of the log cabin. She received him great praise and produced champagne and cigar. My old man has struck it rich, so I have retired from business," said she. There were in Leadville three brothers, prospectors, Gallagher by name, who had discovered a mine called the "Pine," or something like that, which suddenly turned out rich. They sold it, realizing $100,000 each. They had always been day laborers; and never had any money, and did not know the difference between $100,000 and $1,000,000. One of them, Pat, went down to Denver and put up at the Grand Central hotel, kept by Uncle Dave Carpenter. Pat's principal ambition had always been to own a gold watch, the first thing he did was to go to the Denver Tiffany's and buy six of the largest possible size, with a chain weighing about a pound. Leaving five of the watches in the hotel safe, he sailed out to promote the circulation of currency, good fellowships, and wet goods. When he came back the hotel clerk pointed out to him that his watch chain was hanging down and his watch was missing. He asked for him. But in try and it was given to him on the chain it slipped through his fingers and fell on the marble floor with a bang. Pat made several fruitless efforts to pick it up. Then he steamed himself against the counter and said: "Never mind. Gimme 'nuther watch." Few of these men kept their money, and in most cases less than six months found them once more taking up, not the "shovel and the hoe," but the shovel and the pickax and returning to the night shift for their daily wage. The Scholar and His Books. My days among the dead are passed; around me behold. The mighty minds of old; My never-falling friends are they, With whom I converse day by day. With them I take delight in weal, And seek relief in woe; And while I understand and feel I am in love with Him. My cheeks have often been bededw' With tears of thoughtful gratitude. My thoughts are with the dead; with them I live in long past years; My trust love, their faults condemn, Partake their tears, their fears, And from their lessons seek and find Instruction with an humble mind. My hopes are with the dead; anon My place with them will be; And I with them shall travel on through all futility. Yet let them hear my fears, I trust, That will not perish in the dust. —Robert Southey. Chance to Pay Up. "Why," asked the old man, addressing his son-in-law, who had failed in business, "do you think I should you on your behalf?" "Becoming I once did you a great favor," replied the addition to the family. "Favor!" exclaimed the old man. "When did you do ever me a favor?" "You seem to forget, sir, calmly and patiently. I airly laughter on your hands." GOULD AND THE WORKMAN. Philosophy In Uncivil Reply Given to Magnate. James R. Keele sometimes relates an amusing episode in the life of Jay Gou.1. Gould, according to Mr. Keene's story, had bought up a little railroad in the West, and, desiring to see how this road was conducted, he traveled incognito over a part of it one day on to fencing to all the workmen whom he met. He was one workman who was handling a pile of baggage with great roughness. He would drop from high places boxes marked "With Care." A trunk, under his treatment, burst open, and a white mound of underwear lay in the dust. Resounding thuds, smashes and crashes attended his maneuvers like a chorus. Mr. Gould said, in a stern voice: "Friend, don't you think you are a little too violent? Wouldn't gentler methods give you just as good resuscitation." "No," said the workman. "No, not at all." "Well, I don't agree with you," said Mr. Gould. "You don't hey? Well, who cares if you don't?" the workman returned. "Now," sald Gould, "be civil. Remember civility costs nothing." "Oh, go to h—l," the man blurted out, glaring at the officious stranger. "No, I will not go to hell," was Mr. Gould's mild answer. "Hell is the last place I would think of going to." The workman gave a loud laugh. "And it is the last place you will go to," he exclaimed—Exchange. TRUE TO HIS TRAINING. Warship's Mascot Departed Life In Regulation Form. In the forecastle of the cruiser Raleigh at the New York navy yard "Abraham," rooster and mascot, died on Sunday. He was nineteen months old, and had only been in the service a short time. The cause of death was an infection following upon acute appendicitis. On the same day the dog mascot of the ship, who had taken a special liking to "Abraham," deserted. "Abrham's" untimely end so moved the foe's that yesterday the men gave him a naval funeral. Some of his feathers were saved as souvenirs. His body was sewed in canvas and weighted with ropes to keep him monotonously into the Wallabah. Landsman Peter O'Donegal officiated. Herman Schotts was chief pall bearer. On Sunday morning "Abraham" was in his usual good health, when he began kicking about the forecastle. His inexperience in the making of bombs was his undoing. He poked his bill into the black powder. He is alleged to have swallowed a large quantity, and was immediately attacked with pains in his hull. Thinking he had the grip, members of the crew carried him into the cook's galley. The stove was red hot. Details are grewsome. In O'Donegal's arms "Abraham" exploded with a loud report. But his training did not desist him. Bringing in the cook, he code to O'Donegal as he expired "Sir, my magazine has blown up and I am sinking."—New York Herald.

George Francis Train sat one spring morning in Union square, as was his custom, surrounded by "children to whom, contrary to his attitude toward adults, he was always affable and agreeable. On the outside of the group surrounding Mr. Train stood a small colored girl looking wistfully at the white children who were receiving all his attention and hearing his wonderful tales. After they had dispersed and Mr. Train was alone, the black child advanced timidly and said to him: "Do you love children?" Looking at his questioner in some surprise, he admitted that he did. Then in a low voice she said: "I am a child."—New York Times.

LINERS BETWEEN ENGLAND AND GERMANY THE BIGGEST SHIP IN THE COMING: THE OCEAN THE BIGGEST SHIP IN THE COMBINE: THE CELTIC The Kaiser Wilhelm II, the big new North German Lloyd steamship, arrived at quarantine at New York, on its maiden voyage, April 21. The Kaiser leftr Chebroug at half past 1 o'clock April 16, being delayed at Southampton to take on 700 tons of fresh water. Although on its trial trip the tiner attained a speed of 23.80 knots an hour, it did not maintain any such record as this, the malden westward passage of the Atlantic, the time being five days and twenty-three hours before the departure, a course of 3,160 miles, which is seven hours and fourteen minutes behind the Deutschland's malden record. The liner Celtic was passed April 20, and also an Allan liner. It was found necessary to keep to the northerly route on account of ice. Four icebergs were passed April 19. The ship proved an excellent sea boat, well-steady, with only slight vibration. The Cedric, the last great addition to the White Star fleet, combines steadiness of keel with vastness of bulk, but she has no pretensions in the speed of way. Now comes this German craft, whose builders only imitate creations of space for their creation, but who are willing to guarantee a reasonable amount of steadiness in a seaway, and to the voyager who wants but little in the food of food a fair insurance against the little's loss. For the last dozen or so years it has been very much a game of seaway between the varying vessels which first has vowed for the lead. First one has had it, then the other. For a time the British White Star was in the ascendant, the Teutonic and the Majestic of that line having no rivals save the two Iman racers, Curious Conditions in the Will of a Bachelor. The curious will case about which there was much talk in Munich last week savors more of the good old fairy-tale days of "once upon a time" than of this modern and undomestic generation. Herr X. was an eccentric old bachelor who lived in a country town in a Bay area he died in adulthood with instructions that it was not to be opened until five years after his death. His nearest relatives—a brother and sister, with a school girl daughter apiece—waited with impatience till the time should elapse, for it was known that the old gentleman had amassed a small fortune by successful lottery speculations. Has it been opened and the contents made available to the expectant families. A certain proportion of the money was left to various charities; the rest was to be divided equally between the two nieces on condition that each of the girls became maid servants in a respectable Munich family and remained in service for a year, at the end of which time the legacies were to be paid over, provided the world beheshes. But the character from the mistresses they had served during the year of probation. One of the nieces has made a virtue of necessity, and is serving her kitchen apprentice with a good grace; the other, unable to support the luscomy of donning the cap and apron, has resisted, and is now punished, and her father is disputing its validity on the ground of the old one's insanity—London Tattler. the City of Paris and the City of New York. This almost evenly matched quartet were still staving for supremacy when the Cunard company sent along the unmatched Lucania and Compania. These elbowed all the rest aside and there have recorded occasions when a German competitor appeared—one with the imposing name of Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse. It was not known what this new champion was to do, but she showed it on her first trip, crossing the bar with three broken records in her wake—that for sustained high speed during the voyage, for the best single day's run and for the fastest maiden trip ever made across the Atlantic. Following this vessel came the Deutschland, the speedy Krommelski Wilhelm, both of which are few records of their own in the way of speed. And now comes from a German shipyard this third racer, a vessel for which the unequaled speed of twenty-four knocks an hour is claimed. Forty thousand is the indicated horse power of the new champion. To give an idea of this steam wrought energy, it has been estimated that for a horsepower of 40,000 by human effort 40,000 men would each have to move 165 pounds a distance of 3 feet $3\%$ inches per second. To supply this power to the engines nineteen boilers have been placed in the vessel, these having a total heating surface of 107,638 square feet, equivalent to two and a half acres. The bunker capacity is 5,700 tons, a quantity sufficient to supply forty-eight boilers for fortnight, but fed into the glowing maw of this huge vessel the quantity is insufficient for even one round trip between New York and Bremen. Some Experiences of Travelers on the Continent. Mr. C. E. Johnstone in Travel says that experienced wanderers in out-of-the-way places are thankful for what they can get, and he instances a traveller who can produce pictures of the night at Nijegu, a tiny village in Montenegro. "Have you succeeded in finding a room?" asked Mr. Johnstone. "N—not bad. There are three other people going to sleep in it." "Oh well, that's all right. Is the bed clean?" "N—no, I don't know that the bed is clean. But then one can get clean beds at home!" In one continental hotel a German lady summoned the waiter in the dining-room and said: "Close that window or I shall die." "Garcon?" exclaimed an English lady sharply, "leave it open or I shall expire." At this point a Frenchman interposed politely: "Leave it open till the German lady has died, and then close it till the English lady has expired. Then we shall be able to do as we like!" It was in Rome that an English schoolboy was asked what sight-seeing he had been doing that day. "And what were their names?" "Well," said the boy, slowly. "I am not quite certain, but I think he was a Maggiore (Smoking is-Forbidden the Greater), and the other was called Santa Marie si prega di non spunta?" (St. Mary You-Are-Requested-Not-to-Spit). He had at least read the notice on the Of course, steamships never race at least their captains always deny that they ever do; but whenever vessels of rival lines happen to be near each other, and moving in the same direction, it unfailingly happens that they are handled so as to create an advantage that each is serving to do a little better than her best. Coming to a description of the Kaiser Wilhelm II, it may be said that she has accommodations for 775 saloon passengers, 343 second class and 770 steerage passengers. The crew consists of 600 all told, making a total of 2,488 for whom accommodations are provided. A unique innovation in this "express" liner is the installation of what the company describes as "imperial rooms," "luxury rooms," and "state cabins," three grades hitherto unknown to the sea voyagers. Another unique feature is a complete telephone system, which extends throughout the ship, with a "central" and all its appurtenances. Mr. Jones, engaged in a poker game in the smoking room, may be able to call up his spouse and explain to her just why it is that he will be home when he leaves. He looks on at the game; can call up the wine steward, and tell him just what he thinks about him and that last decoction that he furnished. The vessel has also wireless telegraphy. As the steamer is to carry the imperial and United States mall, a special postoffice has been fitted up according to government instructions. In this postoffice several higher and lower levels of the mall are engaged with the sorting of the mail so that it may be distributed immediately after the arrival at the port of destination. Senator Depew Overlooked Part of the Bargain. At this point we pressed 'Senator Depew to tell us a funny story. He was taken somewhat aback, and he stated for a moment. "I haven't had time to think up any new ones recently, he said Tuesday. I was Nanny Wednesday was in Albany, and to-day I start for Biltmore, N.C. But I will tell you an old one. "When I was a boy in Poughkeepsie the coach dog (the white dog with black polka-dot spots) was all the rage, and all my boyish soul yearned for one. "I heard a man in town had one which he would sell for $5. Five dolars was a lot of money in those days and fitted it together and bought the dog. "He was a handsome fellow, spotted as blackly and neatly as heart could wish, and I, with my purchase on a leash, started proudly home. "It was just such weather as we have had this week. I was half way home with the coach dog when we were caught in a fierce downpour of rain. The dog stopped still, and the pothole commenced to run. He had been painted, and not with waterproof paint at that. "In ten minutes the dog was white all over, and so was I—he with rain and I with rage. "I hastened back to the bunko man. 'Look at this dog!' I cried. 'You've cheated me!' "No, I haven't. Chanacoy,' was the follow-up, 'but I did forget.' Tell you that there is an umbrella goes with that dog."—Roy L.

As a reporter was walking down Alder street yesterday a man, whom he did not know, and him and in a few words showed that he was an old friend who had been absent from the city for a number of years. As they walked along he asked the reporter if he remembered the time Sandy Olds shot Emil the reporter replied that he remembered "Well," said the returned friend, "I happened along at Third and Alder just in time to see the shooting and the sight got onto my nerves and rather badly rattled me. You came along and remarked that I was looking pale and suggested that we go down to the Reception and get a drink of wine. And did we, he continued, "and I would like to return the commendation now." "I had thought that incident was closed," was the reply. "Weber was killed by Olds' shot and Olds after serving a year in the penitentiary and knocking about the coast as a roust about gamber for years finally died of consumption in Albina something over a year ago. How long is it since that shooting occurred?" "Oh, twelve to fifteen years." "Well, that is a long time between drinks, but the Reception has moved and I have quit drinking, so we will excuse the return of the compliment. Your memory of the treat, however, goes to show that there is something of the old saying, 'Cast your bread upon the waters, and it will some times return after many days, though generally in a very soaked condition.'" Many _old residents will remember the shooting of Weber by Olds, but it is doubtful if many of them have any drinking come to them in connection with the tragedy.—Portland Oregonian.

The stirring statement is made in Minneapolis that of the forty-one prisons on the Hennepin county jail not one is above twenty-three years of age. The condition that brings the state's fairs is weaken inquiring into. A Hennepin county judge commenting upon the situation says that he believes the increase of crime among young men is due to their being forced out of many sources of employment by girls. The one thing certain is the fact that there are more young men occupying cells in jails and penitentiaries than there were a few years ago, and it seems that they themselves in criminology to inquire into the conditions that have brought about this increase in the criminal tendencies of young men. The War of Corpuscles The war between the white corpuscles of the blood and the microbes of disease was first described by the Russian pathologist Metchnikoff. While devoting himself to the study of inflammations he in each case noted the presence of white cells in the blood currents in abnormal numbers. In these white cells he invariably found the specific microbe of the disease under consideration—it seemed that the microbes were devouring the poisonous microbes, sometimes the number taken up by a corpuscle was too great and it died as a result. If this overcoming of the white, corpuscles by the microbes was general the patient died. Bishop Potter's Position. Bishop Potter was unable to attend the Clara Morris testimonial at the Broadway theater last week and wrote a letter saying it wasn't so bad. He said the microbes of Miss Morris or of the calling to which she had brought so much honor, but because of pressing engagements elsewhere. "Besides," he wrote on, "I half fear that the audience might feel toward me as once did an old maid parishioner of mine whom I visited in ill-fitting clothes."

For the last four years she has suffered from palpitation, and about eighteen months ago she noticed for the first time a peculiar singing note in the breast which was also unable to other persons, and rose and fell in strength and pitch. The sound is said to be due to a malformation of the heart valves, which sets up vibration. Encroachments of the sea.

His Advice to His Son Pierreport May Be Taken to Heart by Many Aspiring and Eligible Bachelors—Case of Romance and Reality. Of course you're in no position yet to think of being engaged even, and that's why I'm a little afraid that you may be planning to get married. But a twelve-dollar doll, who owes fifty-two dollars for roses, needs a keeper more than a wife. I want to say right here that there always comes a time to the fellow who blows fifty-two dollars at a lick on roses when he thinks how many staple groceries he could have bought with the money. After all, there are like a young fool, because in the nature of things he got a long time to live. I suppose you I'm fanning the air when I ask you to be guided by my judgment in this matter, because, while a young fellow will consult his father about buying a horse, he's cock-sure of himself when it comes to picking a wife. While a man doesn't see much of a girl's family when he's courting, he's apt to see a good deal of it when he's housekeeping, and while he does not marry his wife's father, there's more to it than just the money he needs to eat the old man from borrowing money from him, and you can bet if he's old Job Dashkam he'll do it. A man can pick his own mother, but he can pick his son's mother, and when he chooses a father-in-law who plays the bucket shops, he needn't be surprised if his own son plays the races. Never marry a poor girl who's been raised like a rich one. She's simply traded the virtues of the poor for the vices of the rich without going long on their good points. To marry for money or to marry for money, you can real objection to marrying a woman with a fortune, but there is to marrying a fortune with a woman. While you are at it, there's nothing like picking out a good-lookup wife, because even the handsomest woman looks homely sometimes, and so you get a little variety; but a homely one can only look worse than usual. Beauty is only skin deep, but that's 'keep enough to satisfy any woman', but here that to get any sense out of a proverb I usually find that I have to turn it wrong side out) - Then it's to fall-in-law's bound to marry a fool, and a lot of men have to if they're going to hitch up into a well-matched team, there's nothing like picking a good-looking one. Some fellows propose to a girl before they know whether her front and back hair match, and then holler that they stuck when they find that she's got a cork leg and a glass eye as well. I haven't any sympathy for them. They start out on the principle that married people have only one meal a day, and that of fried oysters and tutti-frutti ice-cream after the theater. Naturally a girl's got her better nature and her best complexion along under those circumstances; but the really valuable thing to know is that she presents at seven a.m. whether she brings her complexion with her to the breakfast table. And these fellows make a girl believe that they're going to spend all the time between eight and eleven p.m. for the rest of their lives, holding a hundred and forty pounds, live weight, in their lap, and saying that it feels like a feather. The thing to find out is whether, when one of them gets up to holding a few minutes, he's going to carry on as if it weighed a ten-ton. "Letters From a Self-made Merchant to His Son," by George Horace Lortimer. By permission of Small, Maynard & Co., Publishers, Boston, Mass. THEY WERE HIS ALL. Witness Had Right to Complain About Loss of His Teeth. A little tale is told about the prosec- cution of William F. Blake, for assuail- tion upon one McTernan. It is a true story, but is good enough to be fiction. "Mr. McTernan had detailed at some length how he had gone into the saloon at No. 835 Westminster street, at the request of Mrs. Margaret Colbert on the evening of Feb. 23; how he had been attacked, as he alleged, by William F. Blake, and had had a quartet of teeth completely dislodged by a blow from the defender's hand; how he had the knife in the side thrice, how he had borne it himself, how he had handed his hands to defend himself. On the face of it up to that point the narrative sounded like one of aggravated assault. Then Harry P. Cross took the wit- ness in hand to cross-examine him. He was a man of great wit. "You say Mr. Blake struck you to the mouth?" he asked. "He did," was the emphatic reply. "With his fist?" "Aes, with his fast." "And knocked out four teeth?" "Yes; four teeth." "Now, Mr. McTernan," asked the lawyer, "about those teeth. Were they false?" "They was," said McTernan, after an instant's hesitation, "but they was all I had."—Providence Journal.

SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1903. If there is one thing more than another which is responsible for the insane prejudice of most of the whites on account of color, it is the great bugbear "social equality." The Associated Press dispatches last week contained the following story: Richmond, Va., May 14—"You had better get back to Pennsylvania right away, or you may find your body ornamenting a lamp post some fine nongerminal." said Police Justice Crutchfield to Robert Williams, an intelligent Negro, today. "The charge against you is dismissed. I don't blame you," he continued, addressing Harry Barber, a stoutly built young white man. The cause of it all, according to stories told in court, was that Williams had boasted of being on terms of equality with white girls in Philadelphia. "He told me," said Barber, "that he had sat beside white girls in Pennsylvania schools and then escorted some of them home under his umbrella. I argued with him until I could stand it no longer, and then I knocked him down with an iron bar." "If he had not acted as he did," interposed Barber's lawyer, "I should ask your honor to lock Barber up." Williams denied having made any claim to social equality, but the judge did not believe him, and disposed of the case as above indicated. A large crowd, heard the decision, and it seemed to be fully approved by all. Now, is it a travesty on justice for a judicial officer to allow his prejudice to cause such assertions as are stated above? Suppose Williams said all he is alleged to have said, it would not necessarily follow that he was making a vain boast. Every day, now, and for the past century, and more, there is and has been such conditions existing where there is or was coeducation of the sexes and races. And there was no more "social equality" in a white and black child sitting in the same seat, and going home under the same umbrella, than there is in the black driver of a family rig sitting beside the daughter of his employer. And for a judge (?) to tell a man who was arraigned before him that he would be hung for telling the simple truth of the condition of things, which passed without note or comment, when he was a child, and for him to tell his murderous assailant that he did not blame him for his actions, is crime against humanity. We wonder what would have happened to Williams if he had put in force the first law of nature — self-preservation — and had killed his prejudiced assailant? This country is getting to be very much like a monarchy, so far as the Afro-American is concerned; he doesn't dare to tell the truth if it conflicts with the ideas of some white person. This country sympathizes with the persecuted and outraged Jews, and some 60,000 are expected to emigrate to its hospitable shores. We sympathize with the Jews, too, but our sufferings here are little, if any, less than theirs where they are. My, but those southerners are getting worse and worse. A lot of cadets refused to march behind and Afro-American drum corps in Milledgeville, Ga., the other day, and Maj. A. M. Marchant of the military academy that the boys attended has been forced to resign because he disciplined them. Congressman-elect Hardwick signed a petition sustaining the cadets who drew the color line. Marchant then resigned. Marchant is the second Georgia professor to loose his place because of the color question. Prof. Siedd was forced out of the Latin chair in Emory College on account of an article in the Atlantic criticising the southern whites for the treatment of the Afro-Americans. Florida solons seem to think they have found a way to solve the problem of "Negro Domination." They are about to pass a law which will give all the taxes paid for educational purposes by Afro-Americans to Afro-Americans and all paid by whites to whites. In other words, you pay for what you get. Of course, the only object in view is to prevent, as far as possible, the education of the Afro-Americans. But just wait; a day of reckoning will come and Florida will be made to pay for her folly. Amos Randall, white, and Dan Kennedy and Henry Golden, black, were lynched at Mulberry, Polk county, thirty miles from here, early Wednesday morning, for the murder of Barney Brown, a white man. This is a case of social equality that was not very desirable.

The Newspaper Deadhead. Why should people ask for free newspapers, papers, any more than they look for free cigars, free umbrellas, free walking sticks, free collars, free cuffs or free beetlestakes? Every copy of a newspaper is a product which costs a lot of money. The gents' furnisher or the grocer is not called upon to supply free copies of the products which they handle. The people who are aggrieved if they cannot get a free copy of a newspaper would not think of struggling for a place on the free list of a grocery store, a dry goods store, or butcher's shop. It is the principle more than the cost of the products which is repugnant to all common business notions. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFKO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. NEW YORK OLD AND NEW. New York and New Huffus Rockwell Wilson. Two volumes. Illustrated. Extra buckram. Net. $3.50. Phil- and famous battles fought during the Perth Amboy was New Jersey's chief of the Battles. Much information which has hitherto there in good numbers, many of them remained obscure, is brought to light. Freshly imported and still bearing the delicate J.A. L. Hamilton Company. "New York Old and New," by Rufus Rockwell Wilson, is a publication in two volumes of the first group of after reviewing the student. The author after reviewing the struggle upon the high seas between Spain, Holland and England for the mass-scale and the greatness of the settlement of New Amsterdam by the Dutch. This story of the establishment of Dutch-colonial dependerequity was the first of the world's greats, and it was the end of endurance, fortitude and tireless labor in the midst of vicissitudes and the age of the world, and it was the best way of race. After recounting the growth of political institutions and the successive administrations of the colony of the United States, the group has been the first to bring us to the "Iron Rule" of Peter Stuyvesant, who declared in the presence of welcoming and joyful and his name, to the first of the first children. He soon taught the colonists the meaning of his remark "that he would be a great man." He was also a dictatorial methods which brooked no opposition by a stubborn and unyielding disposition to enforce a system of government. The first group of which was utterly contrary to that which they had been accustomed to living under the representative government. The representative form of government was wrong from the home authorities. Stuyvesant claimed and often said that the group was the only known known to be the right that he still had authority to make ordinances and issue offences and the right that the city even after a charter had been given the people wherein the rights of the governor were clearly limited and fixed by the king—or "High Seas." “The charter of 1653 marked the visible beginning of representative government on Manhattan Island, and the men to whose heroic labors it was due deserves to be held in order to hold an honorable place in its history.” “There were no idlers in the New Amsterdam of the Stuyvesant's time, yet the law of the measure loving people, and found leisure for an abundance of homely and hearty sports.” “The fight for a free press” is one of the most interesting chapters in the first volume of the field, and it holds a high� of censorship, incarceration, and editors who dared tell the truth, and finally the triumph of the press. A piece of history which is not very white, and is by the author in clear and attractive narrative—it is the story of the “Great Negro Plot” in 1741. “Negro slaves formed a large portion of the town’s population. Slave importation is the same size as the same size as the 1628 and appears to have reached a climax about 1746, when a census of the town showed two thousand four hundred slaves in a population less than twelve years old. The�’s natural increase of the slaves and the importation of indentured white servants assured a supply of labor for the needs of the colony only as the author then, after a spectacle of decline of the river, the policy tells us that in the course of time the white people became very much alarmed at the aggressive attitude of the slaves and began to react such drastic laws against the whole world. It is lived in constant dread of an uprising.” "Slaves were prohibited from gathering on the Sabbath in groups of more than four. They were forbidden to carry furw and wards in the under penalties of ten lashes at the whipping post; gaming was visited by the same penalty, and the slave who appeared on the street after nightfall and where south of Collection is about a "lack of lighted candid in it" was liable to forty lashes at the whipping post. Finally it was decreed that a dead slave should be buried with a head and wearers, and for more than twelve slaves were permitted to attend the funeral. If these restrictions led to uprisings among the blacks they were punished when the slave was given the first flow of very vivid account of the "Great Negro Plot" of 1741, which caused a panic among the inhabitants and was attended by blood shed and torture of the most ex-crimes that were the most infamous. The transition of New Amsterdam into the New York City of the Revolutionary period is followed by the author very closely, not only with an easy and gracefully change, but is elaborately illustrated by pictures of the scenes and places of early days. These two volumes are intensely interesting, and from a historical viewpoint the author has done much for the truth. “The NIGHT SIDE OF LONDON.” “The Night Side of London.” By Robert Lowry. Illustrated by 8 vols. Dec-2018 at Cloth. $2.50, net. Philadelphia: J. B. Lindpincott Company. "The Night Side of London," by Bob Rowe, is a book. 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 types of human vice and virtues. So vivid is the contrast between the flotsam and jetsam, coming and going with the nights, in Piccadilly, like unto a river. And so picturequely has the artist interpreted the author's ideas and illusions in the streets and parading up and down the illuminated scenes of Piccadilly at night, entering with inviting appearance along the streets, and participating in the gay and sexy life of the city, or watching in silence and pity the moral cripples whose names are legend they. "It is a scene that stirs the fancy and touches the imagination. As the heather and the murmur themselves into the streets, the Circus is full of the flashing and twinkling of the city, the sights, the sounds, the soms, of many carriages speeding homeward to supper, of streams of people, of people walking along smiling and jesting, and talking of what they have been to see, of what they have been to see, of enuing electric light of biophil-like forms, pink flushed, happy faces, snowy shoals hidden in lice or cliff or cloak, or cloaks my lady's hair; her light laughter ripples over to you, and you smile responsive, and you smile responsive, and the vision sweeps past you, on outside your radius. And there are stories, the vision sweeps past you, its own revelation—but with these we have nothing to do, further than to see that they are all part of this pageant the night before. And of 'the London half-world the au- thority, they flaunt themselves in all their cry; the majority of them indeed are not of them are foreigners, but most of them are unmistakely English. Some have sobbery, some have sobbery—every one. But what a number of them! And all sorts and sizes, so to and of a kiss and fond of a guinea. The night side of London "high life" but beneath the surface and in all essentials it differs a little from the night life and the high life. Its high life began. Its main feature is, as it has always been, and always will be, the contrast notwithstanding. pursuit pleasure in an everlasting Vanity Fair quickly or slowly, according to the tough- ness or quickness of moral digestion passes into monotony. Sketches of club life among the work- ing class of Londoners and the struggles of the social outcasts and their struggle for existence in the dens of human life. The author comments, the author is simply painting in vivid word color what he sees, and em- bodies his feelings. The book ought to have a large sale. MISSISSIPPI HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

The wars which were fought in the early times with the aborigines therein, and famous battles fought and the War of the Rebellion are described, and the War of the Action which has hitherto remained obscured by the highly-reformed of the Reconstruction of the Southern States is elaborately set forth in the title 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 Act, and it is not necessary to describe it in the case of "It is deeply interesting at this time, when the passions aroused by the Great Civil War" have passed away, and when theแกนเอก of the Reconstruction of the World was reunited, people, past events can be reviewed with calmness and fairness, to examine the great historical events connected with the agreement of the 14th amendment) and to draw a just conclusion in respect to the purpose and motives of the advocates; and to understand the reasons and conditions of the Southern 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 and was the result of statesmanship and sadness, and that the status of the South forced Congress to make negro suffrage the final basis of reconstruction. In the case of the change of view, it is which the South now would be to follow. We find the following: "Mr. Lincoln had contemplated a reconstruction of the South's under the auspices of the executive power of the government, 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 and political influence, united with his tact and wisdom, might have smoothed the way to a pacification of the South. Mr. Johnson was lacking in all those qualities, and with him the differences between the Executive and Congress which Mr. Lincoln would have reconciled and adjusted assumed the proportions of an open rupture." "Mr. Lincoln was a patriot as well as a great statesman, and under his auspices it is improbable that the South would have been crushed between the two contending forces in a political war between the Congressional and Executive departments of the government." The volume is beautifully illustrated, and is a very valuable contribution to the historical literature of the country, from the viewpoint of the South. BIRD GODS IN ANCIENT EUROPE Gods in Ancient Europe". By Charles D. Barker and David B. Wharton. 12mo. 272 pp. cloth. $29.95. "Bird: A. S. Barnes & Co." by Bird: A. S. Barnes & Co. is the rather unique title of a volume full of the rareest class of information relative to the pean and the older races of the earth. There is the evidence of much research in narrative style at once attracted and entertaining. It is not only tells us what the ancients worshipped, but goes into the philosophy of such worship, and tells accounts which make very delightful myths. "Take the woodpecker as an instance. When we picture to ourselves the European away, we need to overput the need to keep it a matter of deep thought how to keep a roof over his head, loving murder, a bloody tyrant or a sinless serenity, or a序言 or a jocelyn? I feel the periodic famines because of his sth. and ignorance, to disease because of his illness and nifty habits, we can understand the nature of the world which is a bird which in addition to various marvelous, superhuman traits, has the practical side of so developed that it can chisel to find the so-called "four" of the "fossil" of a tree and a bird ever gay of heart that seems to find nourishment when a green thing grows, right under is busy blak. "Mr. Woodpecker was thought to know the whereabouts of hidden treasures; I knew it is a special creation of the high God of the Finn, a mysterious affinity to the "no, also a rain and thunder God." The author then proceeds to tell us of the lower the woodpecker exerted over the Romans at the time of Hannibal's entry into the peninsula. Says he's the importance of the woodpecker in the way he's to do with his self-assessments. Hardly be overcutimated. I have a seal, scarab-like in form, showing a man seat with bird before him, which he appears to be teaching to Rich. This man is an auspex or soothsayer is reasonably certain from the fact that he is the first of the little life of the little stucette with Etruscan inscription in the Vatican Museum. Then follows several very interesting anecdotes anent the mysterious power of an ill cluss, the point of the little winged God. The Cuckoo, Peacock, Owl and other birds have in turn been worshiped by the ancient Egyptians, the Pharaohs, the mans, Egyptians, Abyssinians and other powerful races who wrought so mightily on the earth. The author further tells us that "it is recorded of King Edward the First of England that on 1344 he invaded the kingdom of 1344, his investiture as a knight, two swans decorated with gold nets, were brought in, and he thereupon crowned the God of Heaven on these two swans. --- JOHN JAMES INGALLS John James Ingalls. The writings of the press by William Elesy Kennedy in 1925, 538 Pros. according to binding. Company. Withings, speeches, and orations of the late Senator Ingalls, one of the greatest men Kansas has produced, have been gathered and preserved to future generation, and have the power to be authorized by Mrs. Ingalls, who has devoted nearly two years to the work of collecting material for the volume. Because of the work he has ever been done, he has been interesting, resulting for his much interesting reading, and fragmentary sketches which have been included exhibit a gentle and tender quality in the nature of the work of the author. It is not manifest to the world, in his public career. The country looked upon him as a man of phenomenal brilliance, with a tendency to satire and keen worldly smalls and smalls cared of his enemies and his competitors in debate, and which drew to the Senate galleries thousands of auditors who have been known to have speak. It is probably that his power for withering invective and his mastery of language was not as much as he had ever had, and he is with his own interest. But it is with Senator Ingalls as a man of deep and responsive affection, and as a reflective individual, alive to all the humour and humour, and to all the humour presented by his devoted wife has to deal. The following letter affords an illustration of the phase of her husband's charmedness: The man of his own life is an example of which Mrs Ingalls desires. *Dearest Wife: "Blue Grass" seems to the world, will pkill, will kill her. Those were happy days when it was written, in the little cottage on the bluff, the roomful of babies; observe and unknow, waiting for the destiny, so soon to come spacious figures of the country for so many years). How far can my life stretch, my life it over again if I could, unless with the power to improve, correct mistakes. How clearly we see our loving when it is too late. YOUR LOVING HUSBAND --- THE STORY OF THE SLAVE. Slavery and Servitude in New Jersey, Boston, and New York. In New Jersey Historical Society, Camden, N. J.; Simpsonick Chew & Sons Co. This monograph is a recital of slavery in the United States, a sey. The fact is brought out that slavery existed in America long before 1615, and that it was a part of the cargo of human freight to Jamestown. The *Artesa* in Mexico enslaved not only African slaves but also nation who were convicted of theft and other crimes. African slavery was the first recorded instance of ownership of African slaves. Many of the slaves that is the earliest recorded instance of ownership of African slaves. There is a record of one good old elder, whose ventures on the land were to be followed by an slave trade. There is a record of one good old elder, whose ventures on the land were to be followed by an slave trade. Those who returned thanks on the Sunday following the arrival of a slave into the land of freedom another cargo of benighted heathen to enjoy the blessings of the land. Perth Amboy was New Jersey's chief port of entry, and blacks were to be seen there in goodly numbers, many of them freshly imported and still bearing a total of 1,000,000,000 tons from $200 to $500. 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 expiratory time, the redemptions were 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 measurable way. The redemptions were 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 New Jersey legislators was not limited to the act of 1936 and still later another line of 1846, did not bring about the complete emancipation of the slaves, although there were but 18 in the entire state when Lincoln's proclamation was issued. In 1880, Hon. Garret A. Hobart, at that time, member of the�. The� was not 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. SALLY WISTER'S JOURNAL Sally Wister's Journal. A true narrative, being a Quaker maiden's account of her experiences with officers of the Continental army, 1774-1778. Edited by John W. Wittgenstein, 1781-1783. Reproduction of portraits, manuscripts, relics and views. 12 mo. pp. 224. Philadelphia: Ferris & Leach. Sally Wister's Journal is the record kept by a Quaker girl of 16 during a winter famous in the history of this country. The greater part of the book has to do with the things of the world's soldiers visiting or quartered at the farm house, to their attentions to the writer and her friend Lyddy and to her regret when a certifed "with the goodwin" and her "part of her 'art' and her hand shook like an aspen leaf" when she first saw these soldiers, but she soon overcomes the feeling of the express and the other. Her Philadelphia friend: "My advice is summon up all your resolution, call for the time to you aid, and don't suffer your spirit. I think if you're in the future, if you're not in need of myself, I will stop. I stand on the other side of the land," he says. Very peaceful sort of talk, she says, very peaceable sort of talk; "the other side of the land is the most and the elegance." One is the most amiable of men; tall and gentle, whom the following lines will: "How much the expression is." The wilful character is in each obliging art. The mildest manners with the bravest Another soldier. A second is "monson tall and brown, but has a certain solemnity agreeable." And then. "Here comes the glory, the major so bashful, so fakery, so rude, so tall-tail-tail-tail'd for the graces of person, but for those of the mind he may just be celebrated; he is large in his person, manly, in engaging countenance, and address." --- --- PICTURES OF SWEDISH LIFE. Pictures of Swedish Life; or Svea and her Children. By Mrs. Woods Baker. Pp. 408 $2.50. Engberg-Holmberg Publishing Co., Chicago. This is usually printed and elaborately illustrated volume. The author lived for many years in the "Land of the Midnight Sun." The illustrations are especially fine and cover very variety of Swedish life. The author writes of the "The Simplicity in Living" which characterizes all classes of Sweden's population and tells us that the strength of this people lies therein. "The sons of the nobility, when further advanced in life, are accustomed to habits of life most simplified and are being of the same form," heالبilled. "What's in 'Name?' the author shows 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 Oscar II., dropping the Bernardot and the noblest laborer about. And, 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's Servets'." Erickson. The book is quite an excellent addition to the literature of travel. . . . The Spoilmen. A story of Ward polling behind the door. pp. 324. $1.50. Bloomfair Page. $1.99.

Andrews's Botany all the Year Round. By E. F. Andrews, High School, Wash- ington, American Book Pages, Price. $1.00. American Book Pages, New York, Cincinnati, and Chicago. This book is admirably adapted for botanical work in the average high school, and requires no expensive equipment. It is based on observation, and in this respect meets the popular demand. The pupil is led to make accurate observations, and from them to deduce safe conclusions. He is first taught to observe the conditions of plant life, they are the essential organs of the plant are taken up, and finally the author treats of plants as they relate to their surroundings—ecology. The book is accurate, and sufficiently full and complete to meet the needs of secondary schools. The exceptional character of the Purity Books in the Self and Sex Series has so commended itself to the judgment of the International Committee of the Young Men's Christian Association that they have requested an edition of 12,000 copies of a reprint of the chapters on the diseases which accompany vice, for free distribution and the solidity in the Philippines, China and the other army posts, and through the general secretaries in India, Japan and China, and a friend of the purity cause has contributed the entire amount necessary to pay for this large edition.

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 1993 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- sely nominal cost.
