The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1- It aims to publish all the news possible. 2- It does so impartially, weaving no words. 3- Its correspondents are able and energetic. VOL. 19. NO. 22. CABINET POSITIONS ARE NOT FOR POOR MEN. Ample Private Funds, in Addition to their Salaries, Necessary to Maintain Their Proper Position in Official Life—Why the Post is Sought For. "The position of cabinet officer must be a snap in Washington," remarked a visitor to a resident official in the office of an upstown hotel this morning. "I would like to have the office 'tendered' to me. The alacrity with which I would 'accept the portfolio' would be astonishing." "But there might be reasons why you would not accept," replied the official. "The position is very far from a snap, as you say, and I being a poor man, would, for one man in the capital decline the honor, no matter how much I must secretly desire the office. "There is not a member of a cabinet, with possibly an exception here and there, who gets out of the game for less than $20,000 a year and no one under $10,000 or $12,000. To properly maintain the position of cabinet officer, to live upon the salary paid would entail the practice of economy which would be quite unusual. A member of the house can live—and many practically do—upon his miltie- or not a member of the cabinet upon his salary. I have known of many members of different cabinets who have spent from $20,000 to $150,000 a year. In the senate and house combined there are scores of men who have practically no incomes other than their salary of $5,000 a year. These men work for what may be properly termed their wages. "Cabin officers do not work for their salaries; they merely accept what the congress decided a century or two ago, in stage coach adequate compensation. The salary they did not enter into their calculations in ninety-nine cases out of 100 when their portfolio was tendered them. "When a cabinet officer is a wealthy man, as most of them usually are, they work for a variety of reasons. Some have wives who have social ambitions and tastes which cannot be gratified in their former environments." Others work for the personal pleasures, the privileges and the honors the positives bestows, the last being more or less passed down to their peers. The pay is incommensurate with the responsibilities and the work. A cabinet officer once said to me: "My salary pays my house rent and gas bills. My work is performed solely for love; it is compensated and, upon the theory that the laborer is worthy of his hire, I am going back home and gather up the stray strings to my scattered income," and home he went shortly afterward. "To the feminine members of a cabinet officer's role, the rule is to get about $1,000,000 a year each out of it in the gratification of their personal ambitions and desires and the fun they have." "You often hear men say: 'I would go into the cabinet for $8,000 a year. These men can't get in. Ninety-five per cent of the cabinets of the United States who are multimillionaires, serve their country at a sacrifice, and the latter do, too, to a certain extent. Upon a single meeting of the cabinet may hang the fate of hundreds of thousands of lives and the expenditure of billions of money, yet the men who thus are to pass judgment are paid salaries on a par with the cashier in a bank. "I should think that congress would properly increase the pay of cabinet officers." "My friend, you do not understand Washington life. For over a century there has been a deadly social feud between the members of the senate and the members of the cabinet. Up to the time of the passage of the presidential succession act, placing the senate in line for succession to the presidency, in the event of death, the senate had the best of it, but the wives of the cabinet members carry the trophy flag. There is no immediate prospect of the passage of the bill you suggest."—Washington Star. Lift Up Thine Eyes.

Nearly 75 Per Cent of the So-Called Silk is Tin, Pure and Simple. A Chicago chemist declares that 75 per cent of the so-called silk used for skirts, blouses, and dresses is nothing less than tin, pure and simple. He asserts that the practice of substituting tin for vegetable weighting substances originated in Germany. The vegetable matters were no detriment, though equal brilliancy of color was not obtainable, and there was not the same sheen and "feel" when handled as that produced by the real silk, which has the rustle so pleasing to ladies' ears. "The practice of the dyer," he explains, "to whose hands the silk yarn is intrusted for dyeing and weighing, is to boil it, and in doing he reduces every sixteen ounces to twelve, thus eliminating the natural gummy substance and reducing cost for the purpose of spinning. The twelve ounces were then brought to fourteen by the use of tannic acid, etc. To-day by the substitution of tin, the twelve ounces are raised to sixteen ounces, or even thirty ounces." "The proportion of 'weighting' is more than that in black silk," said a manufacturer to whom this statement was submitted. "Frequently only one-fourth of the woven material is real silk; the other three parts are tin and dye." Any woman can test for herself whether the silk she is buying is tin weighted. Let her hold some threads in a flame, and the genuine will leave an ash resembling that of wool when burned, with no traces of filament, while the tin weighted simply loses its color and tenacity, each thread remaining distinct in a tin wire gauze. BIBLE WAS AT BUNKER HILL. Mr. Rufus Chote Loans Relic to Ipswich Historical Society. A Bible that was carried at the battle of Bunker Hill has been loaned to the Ipswich Historical society by Mr. Rufus Chote. It was originally owned by Francis Merrifield, who had it in his pocket on the 17th of June, 1775, when he marched to Bunker Hill, in Capt. Nathaniel Wade's company. That night, after returning from the fight, he wrote on the inside of one of the covers, "1775, Cambridge, June 17. A batel fought on bunkers hill, on Saturday, in the afternoon, which lasted an hour and a quarter, two men were wounded and a wonderful deliverance, the number of my gun, one hundred eighty-three, the Seventeenth Regiment 178. The back of the title page of the New Testament: "Cambridge, Jun 17 1775 I desire to bless God for his kind americain in delivering me and sparing my Life in the Late batel fought on Bunkers hill. I desire to devote this spared Life to his Glory and honour as witness my hand Francis Merrifield." Mr. Merrifield was a native of Ipswich, where he was born in 1775. He served in the French and Indian wars and was in the Ticonderoga campaign, and later served all through the war of independence. "Uto How Many."

He was a veteran of the Civil War, a brave and fearless soldier, and his grandchildren knew that such another grandfather had never lived. Every sunny day you could see him in his wheel chair or limping painfully along, Tod and Tucker trying to help on one side, and Marty and Emmy on the other. It troubled them not a little that grandfather, who was the bravest of the brave and the truest gentleman on the whole earth, should wear clothes that were shiny and fraved and had been worn for many, many years. For themselves they did not care; they had never done anything to merit fine clothes. ner from the Monroes, in a much fine house, and her dresses were soft and pretty, and not at all like those Marth and Emmy wore. "Please dress me plainer, mother she said more than once. "You see I feel very gaudy beside Marth an Emmy and the rest, and I don't like them to feel I'm better dressed. Margie need not have worried about her clothes, however, for the Monroes children did not care, although the admired the dainty things she wore. It was grandfather they cared about, and Margie had no grandfather, so they gave her a share in theirs, grandfather only had fine new clothes. But grandfather had done so much, had been so faithful and brave and true, and he should be clad in fine raiment, it seemed to them. By hard work they had managed to gather enough nickels and dimes together to buy the wheel chair from a second-hand furniture man. It wasn't good enough for grandfather, but it was the very best they could do. It was all Mrs. Monroe, the children's mother, and grandfather's only daughter, could do to keep the four pairs of feet疼 from suffering from the cold, worked hard and long, but she never complained—not even when father left her suddenly to go to the Beautiful Country where we shall all meet some day when we are called away. His four grandchildren were not the old man's only admirers by any means. He was always the center of an interested group of boys and girls, who listened with rapt attention to his wonderful tales of the war. The policemen all knew and shook hands with him, the firemen always touched their caps to him, and the car conductors smiled at him as they dashed by. Grandfather had been the only community benefactor, for he greeted anyone because he had joy in his heart, if his body was warped and bent. Grandfather had been shot in trying to carry an important message through the lines—he was the only one who volunteered to carry the message, for it was a terribly dangerous undertaking. What did it matter now, that he had failed then? Was it not just as brave a deed as though he had been successful a deed as though he had been successful a deed enough to undertake it. The Monroe children knew that if one is brave and does one's very best, failure is as honorable as success. ner from the Monroes, in a much finer house, and her dresses were soft and pretty, and not at all like those Marthy and Emmy wore. "Please dress me plainer, mother," she said more than once. "You see, I feel very gaudy beside Marthy and Emmy and the rest, and I wouldn't like them to feel I'm better dressed." Margie need not have worried about her clothes, however, for the Monroes children did not care, although they admired the dainty things she wore. It was grandfather they cared about—and Margie had no grandfather, so they gave her a share in theirs. If grandfather only had fine new clothes and comforts like other old men they would be happy indeed. "Marthy," said one of the newcomers in the neighborhood one day, "took your grandfather wear his soldier cap 'stead of that shabby old felt hat'." Marthy looked at Ted, Tod looked at Tucker and Tucker looked at Emmy. Then Emmy answered bravely: "It's because his sojer cap is moth-eaten." "Then why don't you buy him a new other hat:" persisted the newcomer. "I should think you'd be ashamed of him." Emmy and Tod and Tucker and Marty had tears in their eyes by this time, when Margie cried suddenly to the newcomer; "I can beat you to the next corner!" and off they started. "What it think it was just cruel, I do!" declared Margie at supper that night. "They're just as poor as can be, and every cent has to buy food, and their dear old grandfather won't let them buy anything for him. I do wish I could help them." "I doubt if they would accept charity," said her mother. "Indeed they wouldn't," said Margle. Big sister Mabel spoke up: "Didn't he ever get a pension?" she said. "What is that?" asked Margie. "It's money paid yearly by the government to those who are disabled in its service," explained Mabel. The next day Margie asked Marthy about it. "We tried to once," said Marthy, "but grandfather always said his family thought more of him than the government did, for the pension was never given him." He ought to have one," said Margie thoughtfully. "Oh, Marthy—I have an idea, and if you'll promise not to tell till it's time I'll let you help." emmily. "I'll only tell grandfather." "But he's the most important one," cried Margie. "You must keep it a great secret." Marty agreed, and later two flushed faces bent over a sheet of paper, upon which Marty was writing at Margie's dictation. Nothing wonderful happened for a long time, though the two little girls had many talks over their "secret." It was necessary to have some help, and sister Mabel was asked for advice. All the spring Margie and Marthy acted very mystically, but not a word of explanation would they make. On Decoration Day Tod and Tucker, Marthy and Emmy brushed grandfather's shabby suit, helped him to wheel chair, and started off in the morning to the cemetery. Grandfather had never missed this yearly trip to honor the memory of his dead comrades, many of whom had gone to the Beautiful Country. He would salute beside the graves of the officers in whose regiment he served with tears in his brave old eyes; and then he would tell of their hardihood and valor. This day Margie joined the ranks, and other boys and girls, too, till there was quite a procession. Each grave was visited, and each name was read to grandfather, who remembered every man perfectly. As grandfather's chap was turned towards home a sage in the woods attracted the attention of the little cavalcade, and there was Margie's sister Mabel running toward them and waving something high in the air, and Marthy looked at each Margie and Marthy looked at each other and gasped. "A letter for the captain," called sister Mabel, holding out a long envelope with an official seal. Grandfather was too surprised for words, and his eyes were too dim to see. "Let Margie open it," whispered Marthy in his ear, "it was her idea." Marthy in his ear, it. So grandfather asked Margie to open it; open it she did right there, in the cemetery, among the gravest of many of the brave soldiers, what was it? A document that told of a pension for grandfather! And that meant enough money to keep him clothed and comfortable all the rest of his life. "And Margie got it: 'cried Marthy, anxious to give her friend all the glory. 'She wrote to the President herself, and he sent her letter, grandfather it is beautiful?' Grandfather's eyes were dim with tears of joy. Slowly he rose from the wheel chair, and standing erect on his crippled feet, he saluted Little Margie in the stately way that he saluted his general's grave. What cheering there was, and what a happy cavalcade danced home, each in turn pushing grandfather's chair. Margie never forget that day, and her most valued position, the letter letters for President himself, her for her interest in one of the country's heroes.

CALLED UP AND CALLED DOWN. Mean Trick Played by Joker on Prominent Citizen. A former city official who is well known in many sections of the borough had occasion to attend a concert given in a large hall the other evening. His wife and many friends were among those present. During an internship every one was somewhat startled to hear a stentorian voice ring out from the gallery. "Is the Hon. Mr. Blank present?" the voice said. Slowly and majestically the aforesaid erstwhile official rose from his place in a prominent part of the house and faced the gallery in a dignified manner, as suited his station in so clety. "I am Mr. Blank," he replied, as he drew his stocky figure to its full height. "Sit down, you lobster!" called the voice, with an emphasis that was as great as it was embarrassing. The dull thud that was heard immediately after the above sally was only the noise caused by the ex-official's anatomy as it came in contact with his rather hard seat.

After a while they came in sight of it again, from the opposite side, and the gentleman, not recognizing it, asked, "What bridge is that?" The same, your honor—Cromwell's bridge. "Well," said he, "who is this Mr. Cromwell that the bridge is named after? Does he live about here? I'd like to see him." "No, your honor," replied Pat.

Situation in Which He Was Placed Made Him Think it the Greatest Welcome He Ever Received—First Impression Not Favorable. The man who had been in southwest Texas looking over the route for a prospective railroad had been interested in a reference to hospitality in its truest sense. "All day long I had been driving with a man in the dust and the question of a camping place involved finding the necessary water," he said. "There were no streams, no water holes, only dust and hills and alkali. "Just before sundown we came in sight of some scrubby timber rising from a draw ahead of us and we start for our house. Just ahead of the ridge we noticed a lonesome looking shack in the edge of the trees, and we drove up to it just as darkness came on. "The first sight of anything living was a lean foxhound that dashed out at us, baying; he was followed by two more and after these a pair of collies and then a miscellaneous collection of dogs of all shades and breeds, bent upon attacking us, but snarling and biting even among themselves. "Suddenly a long, lean figure of a man with a hairy face out of which only a pair of eyes and the tip of a nose was showing charged upon the dogs with a stick, sending them scutting under the house again. Then without a word he came up to us with his eyes fixed on the horses. "It was not an ideal situation for a fagged team and two worm, thirsty men, but I tacked the proposition. I didn't mention anything about a railroad, but I laid beautiful stress upon our condition and our needs for a camping place where there was water. "And while I talked he was looking around the front. As I talked more in my most engaging manner he stepped around to the side of the off horse to look him over, broodside "It could be the greatest favor imaginable if only we might stop here," I continued. "We will make you no trouble and are more than willing to pay for feed for our team." "He was at the side of the off horse by this time, and I was almost too discouraged to say anything more, thinking perhaps that we had been taken for a pair of horsehorses. I had made another attempt to move him, however, when he straightened up, expectorated an immense charge of tobacco juice under the horse and looked into my face for the first time. "Want to stay all night, hey? "I was trying to tell him again just how much we wanted to do that very when he took in.' "Well, if you want to stay all night, I reckoned you’ve struck the damnedest most lively place this side of the Pecos river." "Hospitality? repeated the man who had been in Texas.

SATURDAY, MAY 30, 1903. Today is Memorial Day, and in all parts of this country eulogies will be said over the dead soldiers who "fought to save the Union." It will be claimed by some of the eulogists that they died to make this a free country, and would enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, with none to molest them or make them afraid. So far as saving the Union was concerned, that result was accomplished; so for as breaking the shackles from the limbs of the enemy, they free them, in name, that was accomplished, but in so far as the enjoyment of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, with none to molest them and make them afraid, these 4,000,000 and 3,000,000 things like 10,000,000, are concerned, they fought and died in vain. For today, the outlook for the Afro-American, is more gloomy and direful than it was before the war. Over 200,000 Afro-Americans fought, bled and died. The sons and daughters of these men are being deprived of almost everything that tends to make life endurable by their white brothers, who have no more inherent, rights than of the sons and daughters of those men. We hold the death of a principle, and would place a wrath of immortelles on every headstone at the grave of a Federal soldier. They know not how vain is the shedding of their life's blood, Christ-like, and the prospect that seems before the Afro-American, in the not far distant future, is a living death, a veritable hell on earth. The principle that taxation without representation was wrong caused the revolutionary war.

HILLIS, OF PLYMOUTH CHURCH BROOK LYN, IS THE RIGHT SORT He Soondly Scores the People who u Uqhord the Hiring他 Referred to do her Paint Simple Duty as a Chambermaid in a Public Hate. New York, May 23.—After denouncing the servant of a hotel who refused to make up a bed for Dr. Booker T. Washington, Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Dr. Washington ever accept entertainment at his house he would count it an honor to make his bed for him. The incident of the woman servant was first referred to by Dr. Hills in a recent address at a meeting of the State Congregational Association, head at the Avenue Congregational church, Brooklyn. He had been speaking on "Mission Problems" and was brought to the case by a comparison of the strength of the white and the various colored races. He said the whites made up but the whites were not made up and in a later interview Dr. Hills repeated his assertion. "Yes," he exclaimed, "I said exactly that, and I meant it. I have asked Dr. Washington to speak in my church soon, and if he does not wish to go to a house, entertainment from me, and any one in my home shrinks from making up a bed for the educator, I will gladly make it up myself and consider it an honor to do so. "I do not know what manner of men and women those were, continue to tell me," he said, dividing first $1,000 and then $2,500 to that chambermaid as a reward for insulting a great educator and a noble citizen who God has given a dark skin, but I affirm that they represented the worst element in American life and that in applauding an insult to Dr. Washington they bytrayed their fathers and played false to their own institutions. "All those who are talking with such contempt about the 'nigger' and counting him the beggar that lies at the gate," said Dr. Hills, "may awaken out of their ignorance some time to find that what Jesus Christ said about the chasm immeaurable to the devil, the master of Dives and poor Lazarus may have some personal application and more meaning than they had supposed." REBUKE For Gen. Wheeler for Wearing Blue Uniform—No Division of Honors Allowed by Confederates Veterans, Who Resented His Action. Atlanta, Ga., May 24—"Fighting Joe" Wheeler, the dashing cavalry leader of the South in the war between the States, was persona non grata in New Orleans because he appeared in the uniform of a General of the United States army. Heretofore Gen. Wheeler has divided honors with Gen. John B. Gordon at Confederate headquarters, and he has him at the New Orleans gathering. The old soldiers of the "Lost Cause" resented the appearance of Gen. Wheeler among them in a uniform of blue, and they made him keenly feel Veterans who were at New Orleans say Gen. Wheeler was treated almost as if he were an enemy. When he appeared in reunion hall clad in the uniform of a United States General not a single cheeked man, he had served under Wheeler had no greeting for the man whom they had followed in many a desperate charge. So far did the veterans carry their resentment that no provision was made for Gen. Wheeler in the parade, the ex-Confederate General that march behind a man clad in a uniform which had been worn by their foes in four years of bloody war. One of the ex-Confederate Generals present even rebelled Wheeler for apearing at the reunion in the uniform of the United States army. One of the generals General asked Wheeler "Lee and Jackson would say to your appearance at a Confederate reunion in that uniform?" When Gen. Wheeler realized the sit union he hastily left New Orleans. Gen. Roberts said he appeared in the uniform he wore in the Spanish-American War to show the veterans that sectionalism was indeed over when a general officer of the Confederacy had the right to wrest control of the United States army. The veterans think, however, that the uniform was out of place at their reunion. All the veterans wear Confederate gray on these occasions, the officers appearing in the uniforms they wore in the sixties, and they dared to display double flags. Therefore they think Gen. Wheeler showed little appreciation of his old comrades when he came among them clad as a leader of the armies which the veterans of the South fought for four years. Oh, yes, they have buried the hatchet and shaken hands across the bloody chasm! These are the people who are causing all the trouble in this country. They are beating the drum. They are rebels now, as they always have been. and the pursuit of happiness," was the result of that war. The Afro-American was among the first to die in up holding that principle. In every war since then the Afro-American has been found, and always on the side of right and left. He is the sons and daughters of one class of men who fought to save the Union should reap all the benefits and the sons and daughters of another class should be deprived of even. hope. Brave hearts, perhaps there is still hope that an all-wise God who works in mysterious ways will save His own good time, bring about the full realizations of the grand principles for which you died. A terrible hullabaloo was raised over the country last week because Martin Keizer had been assaulted and this daughter Rosa murdered near Lawrence. The police alleged to have been the criminal. It is now believed that the assault on both Rosa and her father was by a white man, and that revenge instead of justice was applied to her sister and Frank Aust, an uncle of Rosa Kelser, are both of this opinion. Aust said today: "The man who did the deer is closer at home than any Nazi." If some, poor unfortunate Afro-American had been caught while the man hunt was going on he would have been lynched before he was given a The story of Lincoln is always absorbent and humorous which have been written about him would stock a library of large dimensions—we have, however, read one of his literary detail. Mr. Curtis's publication, "De mortis all nisi bonum" has exerted much thought, that its literature falls to throw much light upon many of the eminent careers of Mr. Curtis, however, written in a natural manner about a natural man, and done in a manner that is written with a youth, and as a man. These faults, however, are written in a written form, a validity of his character, which had been attained before his assassination. These are profuse and some of them appear for the first time in a published biography of the Great Emancipation.

The "real" and "true" people seem to chance to speak, and then the Associated Press dispatches would have told of the "confession" he made before he was "lynched by parties unknown." In the case of Allgood, the Afro-American rural mail carrier, the Southern press attempted to disprove the fact that he stood higher in the examination than he did by the Civil Service Commission concludes as follows: "It is readily apparent from an inspection of the two sets of papers which are now in the possession of the commission, and from all of the circumstances under which it is required to a higher average than Brown, and that the certification of Allgood by the central board was not only justified, but was positively required under the rules established for its guidance. The board, it may be added, is prohibited from taking into account any or religious affiliations of the candidates; indeed, its records give no data whatever on these points." Our ear has been held to the ground for the past few days to hear the howl which was expected from the color-phobists when we learned the daughter was so deeply affected by the oration of William Pickens, the Afro-American student of Yale, who won the Ten Eyck prize recently, which he delivered to the museum in his coat. A diamond was in his coat, Mrs. Douglas Robinson, of New York city, a sister of President Roosevelt, has made Pickens an offer of financial assistance, which doubtless will be accepted. Pickens is one of Dixon's "monsstroisies." --- President Roosevelt has appointed Christopher H. Payne of Huntington, W. Va., a prominent Afro-American Republican politician in that state, to be United States Consul at St. Thomas, Danish West Indies. He will succeed Mahon Van Horne of kohde and was appointed the place by President McKinley in July, 1897. The new Consul was endorsed by Senators Elkins and Scott, and by Gov. White of West Virginia, under whom he served as a deputy when the Governor was Collector of Internal Revenue. It seems the Afro-American is always when the devil and the deep saa. He was appointed postmaster at Goza, Miss, and the white people held an indignation meeting and decided to boycott the Goza postoffice and ordered their mail sent to Barlow, a village a few miles away. Then a mob in Fremont, Ohio, drove one away from the town. He had been employed at the Claus Shear plant in New York and did. His wife and three children escaped the fury of the mob by going to jail. Recent information from Indianapolis is to the effect that the Afro-Americans of that city made it so uncomfortable for Mrs. Lulu Hadley, the chambermaid who tried to insult Dr. Booth T. Washington, that she left the city. The press dispatches also say she was chloroformed and robbed before she left—of course, by Afro-Americans. But nobody believes such a yarn. At last a Caucasian has been launched in Florida. Let the good work proceed. If the lynching of white men occurred in the modern people will be aroused against it and much good will result. have the front of the stage just now. He is in many quarters that Benedict Arnold has not been fairly treated, that his servitude was not so great, that his great fault was not over-emphasized perhaps, but unreasonably punished. He has the other great treachery to one's friend and is not to be condemned, certain circumstances which explain the deed and modify the nature. While not condoning Arnold's treason, he is less accustomed to Americs, and shows conclusively that he four times saved the cause of the attack on Lake Champlain, the first naval battle, by the way, in which our arms were deployed. His valor, he gave the British such wholeheartedness and putting up their plan of invasion from the north that year; second, by raising the siege of Saratoga, and third, by giving up their plan of flight St. Leger's invading army marching to Burgoyne, his Valley and putting to flight St. Leger's battles of Saratoga, which, conjoined, Cressen and one of the fifteen defenders of Saratoga, Mr. Todd also shows that it was the longing of longing her should her reasonable correspondence with the British officers be instructed to kill her, his country, and not the gross injustice of Congress nor the calamities of his assemblage. The book is an original and unique contribution to revolutionary hisstory, and instructive; especially noteworthy is the reproduction of an old print represeenting his death dear near, it is said his mind wandered, and he was again in America, and instructive; especially noteworthy is his old comrades in arms. In a liquid interval he asked that his Continental unification escaped to the "Vulture," and which he had ever cherished, might be brought and sent to the "Vulture," and which knots with Washington had braved the bravest of the brave, as the bravest of the brave, he said, "the uniform in which I fought my battles.

Mr. Blowin well remembers the terrible attack that day and says he has been an eyewitness of most of the incidents narrated in the book. He also remembers the necessity that comes of suffering: "The Tartar enthroned in St. Petersburg is the enemy between his terrific iron fists, ready to crush him who dares to put a straw in his mouth; limited to the confines of the pine; it can be supplied by 120,000,000 of beings who belong to and body to the cairn.

"There were no idlers in the New Amsterdam. Were a pleasure loving people, and found leisure for an abundance of homely pleasures. 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 rebellion. A piece of history, which is not very well known is told by the author in clean, clear language. "The Great Nogro Plot" in 1714. "Negro slaves formed a slave society into the town began some time prior to 1628 and appears in the records of the town showed two thousand four hundred thousand. Thereafter the natural increase of the slaves and the importation of slaves into the town supply of labor for the needs of the colony." The author then, after sketching the life of the slave population us that in the course of time the white people became very much alarmed and the slave population began to enact such drastic laws against them which shows that they lived in con "Slaves were prohibited from gathering on the Sabbath in咒语, but they were allowed to carry guns, swords or clubs under penalty of teh lashes at the whipping post, and the slave who appeared on the street after nightfall anywhere on the street, and the slave who appeared on the street after nightfall anywhere on the street, and the lighted candle in it" was liable to forty lashes at the whipping post, and the slave should be buried without pall or bearers, and not more than twelve slaves were permitted to attend If these restrictiions led to uprising with the authorities, the band with usatissima band would be the New Orleans Megapop. Plot of, 1741, which caused a panic by blood shed and torture of the most excruciating kind. The plot of New Amsterdam into the New York City of the Revolutionary period is followed by the author very closely by blood shed and torture of a flow of language, but is elaborately illustrated by pictures of the scenes and paintings. These two volumes are intensely interesting, and an historical viewpoint the author has once much for the truth. MISSISSIPPI HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

There are two books in this book—research which is exposed in narrative style at once attractive and the author not only tells us what birds the ancients worshipped, but goes into philosophy of such worship, and tells us how these noteses use that make very, delightful myths. The Cuckoo, Peacock, Owl and other birds have in turn been worshipped by the ancient Egyptians, Egyptians, Abyssinians and other powerful races who wrought so mightily in days of antiquity. Further tells us that "it is recorded of King Edward the First of England in the year 1304, 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.

If there is one thing more than another that will drive away care and sorrow, it is the sight of a lot of little children enjoying themselves in childish pastimes. Such a thought doubtless was uppermost in the mind of the late Mrs. Elizabeth Banister, when she, while lying in the hospital, said to her daughter: "No matter what happens, I wish you to give Adina a party on her tenth birthday." Complying with this wish Mrs. J. Q. Adams made preparations to entertain the guests who had been bidden to her daughter's party at her residence, 527 St. Anthony avenue. Dainty little invitations were extended to as many of the little ones of the age five and 12 years as to the height of, and the result was that sixty of the brightest, jolliest, prettiest girls and boys that could be found anywhere, all decked out in holiday attire, filled the home of the little hostess, Adina Natalie Adams, last Saturday afternoon from 3 until 8 o'clock. After the little guests had gathered' a piano solo was played by Gertrude Howard; then the little hostess arose and said: "My dear little friends, this is the tenth anniversary of my birthday, and as my grandmother wished me to have a party when I got to be ten years old, I invited you to come and help me enjoy the day. I hope you will all have a good time. I thank you very much the very pretty and the very kindly brought me. I will try to keep them as long as I can for your sake. I welcome you to our home." Gertrude Howard was called on to respond, and without hesitation said: "Dear Adina, I am sure we all are glad to be here with you to help you celebrate your tenth birthday anniversary.
