The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does go impartially, wasting no words. 3- Its correspondents are able and energetic. BUT LITTLE CHANGED OLD GRADUATE REVISITS SCENES OF EARLY TRIUMPHS. Happenings to His Recollection the Time When He Sized the Sheepskin and Started Out to Fight Life's Battles. "This is the season of the year when we get vivid reminders of the time when, armed with the formidable sheepskin, we courageously set forth to take a fall out of the world," remarked a Washington man whose name has a part of the alphabet tacked onto the end of it whenever he appears on a public program, but who on other occasions is known only as a steady, level-headed business man. "I went out with my wife and the youthful progeny who bear our name to a commencement exercise the other evening," continued the old graduate in a reflective mood, "and I found that human nature and commencements have changed but very little since my own earlier experience as a diploma graduate. I was a graduate of a graduate and it was one of my chief sources of enjoyment. I finished a high school, a business college, a prep school and a university before I was cured of the habit, but when I attended the commencement program the other night it sent the old sensations tingling through my veins and I felt like getting up on the platform again in a brand new suit, with ribbons pinned onto the lapel of my coat, and I felt like being vibrated that used to make the earth tremble (I thought) with its rumblings. "A young man stepped to the front of the platform, just as I used to amble out, and turning on a bias, launched forth on his speech. He, at least, was carried away with it, for he had but proceeded but a short distance in the 'magnum opus' when he threw out a bunch of fingers to the right side and then gave the left arm a comprehensive swoop in the opposite direction. "Presently he came up with both hands to the front and the absent-minded musician in the orchestra grabbed his horn and was apparently about to start off on 'Hiawatha,' at the 'all together' sign of the speaker. "The reaching outward and upward for other things" was duly emphasized with realistic gestures and the 'floating billows of time' were played up with proper wavings. It was like an old story. "And then a young lady came out with a Dolly Darden courtesy and began a pantomime of 'Rock of Ages,' or something else, while she got off the usual Tennison has truly said, 'and the 'to you, dear teachers,' and all those familiar phrases that originated with the first commencement on record. Then came the words of 'avruv, but not farewell, to our dear classmates,' and the expressions of loyalty to the beloved alma mater, and I dropped off into such deep reflection that I began to get nervous, thinking it was my turn next to speak and feature. "At about this point in the proceedings my youngster gave a little awakening short and a wiggle and my wife gave me a punch under the arm, with the whispered admonition that I wasn't attending a church service, and I came to. I must confess to a little sigh escaping me as I realized that the proceedings on the stage were all over for me, so far as my participation in them was concerned. Nothing but memory left for the old man, jumping in at a table, who spoke who other night spoke so cheerfully and hopefully of entering the battle against the world will be occupying seats in the audience and dreaming, as I was, of the days of diplomas and ribbons and bouquets, when everything lay at their feet and all seemed bright down the little lane that led to real life." Washington Star. Hornet Scarce and High. "I have not known a period when horses were so scarcce or so high," said T. E. Gilbert of Cincinnati at the Hotel Barton. "I am in the business and have of late been scouring Kentucky and Ohio with a view of purchasing a good sized bunch, but had very poor success. More people want to buy than sell, and prices are at a point where it is impossible for dealers to make any profits. The country was drained of horse flesh during our war with Spain, and fur ther depletion was caused by the Boer war. It will take several years to make up the deficiency, and high prices will continue. The automobile craze has had no perceptible effect on the demand for high-class animals, and I do not believe that it will ever get so violent as to make people in the delight of sitting behind a pair of high steppers."—Washinton Post.

What Becomes of Those That Die Natural Deaths in the Woods? "The forest has many mysteries," said an old Pennsylvania woodman, 'but none deeper than that of wild animals that die natural deaths. "The four-footed dwellers of the woods certainly do not live forever. Age and disease must carry them off regularly, as human beings are carried off, but what becomes of their bodies? "I never heard of any one's coming across a wild dead bear or deer or wildcat or fox that had died from natural causes. I found the carcass of a big five-pronged buck in the woods once, but a rattlesnake, also dead, had its fangs buried in one of the deer's nostrils. There had evidently been a fight to the death between the two animals, but they were buried in one the deer's nostrils. Another time I followed the trail of a bear from a clearing where it had stolen a half-grown lamb. I came upon the headless body of the idbam a mile or so out on the trail, and a half mile further on, near the edge of a swamp. I was surprised to find the body of the bear. "I its jaws were open, and its glassy eyes were pushed far out of its head. I held a post-morten examination of the dead bear and found the lamb's head lodged in its throat. How or why the bear ever permitted it to get there I am unable to explain.

"No, we haven't made any arrests yet," the great detective told the reporter. "You can say this much, however. We know who the murderer is." "He is one of four men whom we have been watching from the first. The fact that only one man committed the crime has been sworn to by witnesses." "Nother than the first nor the second of the four men was present when the shot was fired." "The third man was also at the time." "The fourth man is the one we want, and we can lay our hands on him whenever we're good and ready." "Then what are you waiting for?" "asked the reporter." "Why don't you arrest him now?" "Well," said the great detective, "you see we're not yet aware to the property of these men. We now that the fourth man is the one we want, but which of these four is the fourth man? That's what we're working on now." "New York Sun." Not Taking Any Risks: It seems that James M. Barrie, the novelist and dramatist, who recently purchased an automobile in London, has not—or until very recently had not—mustered the courage to use the machine. Just before he left the British capital the other day for Paris with Charles Frohman, to be present at the Paris performance, under Mr. Frohman's direction of his play, "The Admirable Crichton," he invited the Anglo-American theatrical magnate to accompany him on his first ride in his new "devil wagon." "No, thank you, Barrie," repiled Mr. Frohman. "When I get ready to commit suicide I have a previous engagement with a friend in New York." This is believed to be an obscure reference to the Admirable Crichton in the Rialto, Alf Hayman—New ork Hall and Express. Meum and Tum in Science. Little Mildred's mother objected to the freedom, with which her young daughter bestowed her kisses, and her darling, a lecture on the propriety of the practice, concluding with the startling information that there were microbes in kisses. Next day the young minister called, and as he and Mildred were fast friends he lingered in the act of departure. "I'm sorry, Mr. Hatton, but I can't kiss you any more," she said tearfully. We held her for an explanation of this sudden change she blurted out: "I can't kiss anybody any more 'cause—cause—mamma says there's microbes in kisses—and I mustn't." Shadows.

Some years ago Wier worked out a rule for calculating the absolute temperature of a heated body from the wave length of its most energetic radiations. From this rule, which gives very probable results, the sun's temperature is found to range from 4850 degrees to 5450 degrees F.; that of Sirus, from 5700 degrees to 6400 degrees; Vega, 5700 degrees to 6400 degrees; Arcturus, 2450 degrees to 2700 degrees; Aldebaran, 2550 degrees to 2850 degrees, and the electric light, 3150 degrees to 3500 degrees.

It was certainly as much as the smaller sum named, and it is possible that it may have exceeded the larger. But great as was the disaster to the crop of 1902; it was nothing compared to that, which threatens the crop of 1903." The insect gets its name from the fact that it is a weevil, a species of beetle, with a peculiar habit of puncturing and laying its eggs in the squares and bolls of the cotton plant. The insect is about a quarter of an inch long and the larva measures a little over three-eights of an inch in length when grown, and an inch in feeding, feeding on the interior of the plant, feeding on the interior attack generally drop, but most of the damaged bolls remain upon the plant and become stunted or dwarfed, except late in the season, when they dry or rot. The dangerous thing about the cotton boll weevil is that it is a traveling scourge. It was introduced into this country from Mexico, creeping across the Rio Grande after having ravaged the cotton regions of the neighboring republic until the cultivation of cotton has been forced on a profitable crop in Coahuila and Michoacan, was entirely discontinued. Now few cotton producing counties in Texas are unaffected; the advance guard of the pest is on the Texas banks of the Red river, apparently ready to invade the cotton regions of Arkansas and Indian Territory, while the states of Louisiana and Mississippi have good reason to fear it.

While the department of agriculture is doing a good work in Texas there is a strong feeling among the cotton planters that their predicament should be thrown open to the public outside of government service. Congress will probably at its next session be asked for an appropriation large enough to enable the government to continue its work, but also to employ able men outside of the department of agriculture. The Texas cotton crop and its "by-products" of seed, meal and oil is valued at $150,000 a year.

To secure cremation it is necessary for the person whose body is to be cremated to have expressed such a desire in writing. He must also have been over twenty-one years of age.

N CANADA and the request will probably be granted. At one time all the great nations of the world, with the exception of the Egyptians, Persians and Chinese, practiced cremation, including the Greeks and Romans. For centuries the practice lay dormant, but in 1707 it was agitated in France, and in 1866 in Italy, but it was given in 1891 that in Italy a man was given the right to decide that his body should be burned. In England the history of cremation dates from 1874, when a society advocating cremation was formed. In 1879 the first crematorium was constructed at Woking, but was only used first in 1885. Cremation in the United States dates back to 187274, and in Germany to 1878. In 1900 the number of bodies cremated in the United States was 2,414, an increase of 418 over the previous --- A TERROR TO CATS. British Inventor Seems to Have Filled a Jawsworth Want. Probably nowhere is a peace-loving community more annoyed o' nights by philandering cats on every roof and back wall that is the population of London. Just now, for the first time, a genius has risen with what appears to be a successful remedy for the evil. It consists of nothing less than the invention of a fearsome automaton tom cat made up of a tin frame and covered with a fur coat. "Tom" is as black as the darkest night, with a stiff black tail standing up defensively in the air, and a fluffy white beak glare is produced by a four-volt electric battery stowed away in that portion of "Tom's" anatomy generally occupied by the digestive organs. The general principle of construction, according to the British inventor, is based upon powerful clockwork, released by a lever when the tail of the animal is moved. The clock works a pair of bellows, with two loud screeching reeds, at the same time forming contact to light the lamps in the eyes and forcing outwards a dozen long needle points which come up the tail also acts as a trigger and releases a hammer formed of the lower jaw of the cat, which explodes two percussion caps in the mouth. One night recently an experiment was made. The clockwork was wound up and the beast placed in the back garden. In due course of time a ferocious tom-cat, with chips off its ears, walked up to the stranger to give battle, while a dozen of his lady friends sat around to see the fun. Without the slightest provocation, his flew at the automaton, removed the tail from his ear from his back and broke his tail in hall. That ended the first round, but it was only the signal for the tom-tom to get into action. The tall exploded the percussion caps in that cat's mouth with a sound resembling that of a small cannon, the electric eyes blazed out like searchlights, while heartrending shrieks rent the air from the bellows inside, and the needle points got their business ends into the tom-cat. Within a few seconds the garden was clear and pale-faced pussies were learing off through the quiet streets in search of home comforts. It was more than a month before they ventured to peep over the wall to see if the "black terror" was still in posession of the place. GMOKERS ARE EASILY FOOLED. Vact Amount of Perique Tobacco Sold, but Only a Little Raised "Speaking of tobacco consumption," said a diligent user of the weed who knows a few things about the business, "if imitation is the sincerest fattery in everything, then Louisiana perique tobacco occupies a singularly enviable position in the world of mild narcotic pleasures. The annual production of the famous brand of tobacco is between 40,000 and 50,000 pounds, and the total annual world-famous vachieries of St. James parish. Yet it is of record, according to the statement of a drummer who was recently in New Orleans, that his house uses 200,000 pounds of perique tobacco a year as an ingredient of one of the "perique mixtures" supplied to the smoking public of America. Where the perique comes from the drummer does not know, but he knows that his house uses tobacco in volume sufficient to account for the disposal of four or five times the entire production of the genuine perique crop. "The term 'perique crop,' however, is a misnerom, for perique tobacco is not a natural product, but manufactured. A particular tobacco is grown, and then treated especially, with the result of what commonly known as 'the many imitations with which the public are supplied are, it is said by experts, virtually the same in quality and flavor, though not the same as perique in either the original natural leaf, nor in process of manipulation into marketable ways, acetic acid being used by some commercial houses, whereas it is used more and more to the influence of any foreign matter whatever."—New Orleans Times-Democrat. CURING CANCER BY X-RAYS. French Physicians Claim It Is Perfectly Feasible. Two doctors of Lille have sent to the Academy of Medicine, according to Le Matin of Paris, a report on their experiments with X-rays for the cure of cancer. They say that they have relieved in this way several women who had cancers in the breasts. A woman of sixty-five, who was affected in the stomach, was cured after seven applications, each lasting three minutes. Measures were made on the patients seven months ago, and none of the women have been a tendency to relapse. It has now to be seen if the rays will have an influence on deeply seated cancers, as well as on those which are more or less of the surface order. The Lille doctors are still continuing their investigations and experiments, and they are supposed to be on the road to further successful results. Time must elapse, however, before they can be declared to have achieved a complete triumph over one of the most fearful of the maladies which affect humanity.

A PEACOCK DINNER EPICURE RECALLS A FEAST OF BYGONE DAYS. Wedding Collection Spread for Niece of Missouri Jurist Years Before Parisians Introduced the Fad Into Europe—A Great Delicacy. The American woman just back from Paris who told the story about a luncheon at which the hostess had peacock served in the game course no doubt regarded the incident as novel. But the use of peacock as a dish in modern times is not original with Paris, if the story of a lawyer in New York may be accepted as correct. "In some parts of the South," he said, "peacock is sometimes served on Christmas, and sometimes at wedding dinners in place of turkey. "The most elaborate dinner, aside from a state affair, to which I ever sat down, was that given by a county judge in Platte county, Missouri, to his niece on the occasion of her marriage. There were one hundred plates. The dinner was served in arbor that he had arranged at considerable expense for the occasion. The judge had a great flock of the birds at Juno, and he was as great a believer in the incompetibility of its flesh as were the people who adopted the fowl as a type of the resurrection. His niece was his favorite—he had no children—and upon her he lavished all that he possessed. "Up to the time of her marriage not one of the gccacocks had ever been killed. When one died it was buried in his private burial ground with all honors. On the occasion of the wee day of his death, the shaughter of three of the flock, which were especially fattened for the event. "I am not an expert on the preparation of the bird, and I know nothing about how those for the feast we did dealt with by the judge's cocks, but the member in which they were served is one of the gaudy recollections of my memory. "The regress who brought on the platters were dressed in Continental uniform, and each wore a white wig. I don't know how it was arranged, but each platter was covered with some sort of gauze, which had been fashioned to represent a peacock, and this gauze was covered with the plumage of the bird. "When the platter was placed upon the table the man who lit it on, by putting a wire, caused the tall plumage to spread just as the vala bird in life spreads it when it goes on dress parade. And then the covering was lifted, and there was the meat ready to be passed to the guests. "Only the breast of the bird was served. As a delicacy no game ever surprised it. I do not recall what the condiments were, but they were delicious. "During the dinner the flock of live peacocks were paraded before the arbor. They seemed to have been well trained, for as keen one passed across the platform at one end of the arbor it spread its beautiful plumage just at the right moment. "I don't know how ancient the peacock served at the Parisian luncheon may have been, but that of which I partook at the wedding dinner of the Missouri judge was a tender and useful use anything which the gods could have wished for. The Parisian luncheon of peacock was about twenty years behind the peacock wedding dinner I have described." CURING CANCER BY X-RAYS. French Physicians Claim It Is Perfectly Feasible.

SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1903 That all the white people are not bad because some are, we are willing to admit; though the white people seem unwilling to make such an admission in reference to Afro-Americans, and because one is found to be human and bad, all are bad. The white press is demanding that we be the system of poisoning existing in the south as the following excerpts will show: A GRAVE QUESTION. The disagreement of a federal jury in Alabama in a case of poison, spoken of as peculiarly flagrant, is a very serious thing. Poison is slavery. We are family thought, and registered the thirst for the poison; the thirst for the poison; nor involuntary servitude should exist in this country. So much of the fruits of the war, at least, we thought was secure, yet for years this peonage form of slavery has existed in the South. The upright people there have seen it growing both in extent and have sought to uphold the law against it. But the system is based on convivance of the officers of the law. The petty judiciary is participes --- criminals; through it has the system been wrought. The higher local courts were powerless to stay it. Local luries refused to convict. The so good people of the South, represented through the press and other agencies of publication, were more aware of these cases to the cognizance of the federal court. Now the same paralysis of justice is manifest there. The local jury in a federal court refuses equally as in a state court to bring in a verdict according to the law and the evidence. In the nineteenth century we are looking toward a judicial situation like that which characterized the first decade of the last half of the nineteenth century. Then the courts belonged, body and soul, to the slaveholders, until finally our nation was free. We now find that a Negro had no rights that a white man was bound to respect. This is the situation that we are facing today. The disagreement of the federal jury in Alabama shows that the state is not ready to live. But the case should be brought to trial again with all promptitude, as well as the many other cases in which indictments have been found. Ifuries have been filed against additional measures of protecting the Negro. Slavey in any form cannot be allowed to exist—Indianapolis News. STANDING OUT FOR SLAVERY. They must reach an agreement in the last peonage trial in Montgomery, Ala., in every way a reproach to the republic. Judge Jones, an eminent Democrat, told the jury that if they accepted the agreement, they must bring in a verdict of gulty, and that "they would prefume themselves in the sight of God and dishonor themselves in the eyes of men" if they took any other course. But one-half of the jury stuck out for acquittal, and the other for conviction. Judge's judge of perjury. The case was a very clear one, but many Southern men stand out for illegal and dishonorable slavery now with as much vigor as they stood out for the legalized slavey before the war.-Philadelphia Press. The Afro-American press has been saying over and over again for years that mob law must be put down or no one should be allowed to be smiled at derisively, but, it is beginning to dawn upon the minds of the white people that this is true. White men are lynched quite frequently now-w-days for any old thing. They were not troubled very much, but they were lynched for alleged crimes of which they were frequently not gully, but when white men began to get some of the same barbaric treatment then they began to think about the matter. They were not untainted tones. The St. Paul Globe while congratulating Minnesota on being saved from the disgrace of a lynching also said: "There is no community safe from the threatened rising of the mob. Men do not wait for due process of law; not because they do not trust the law or because the law is false to its claims, but because they have imbibed the instinct of disorder. The poison of the mob is in their veins, and they have taught that it is safe to grapple it." "This is nothing more or less than a dry rot attacking the whole system of self-government. If jails and courts and laws are set aside, we go back to exactly the conditions that prevailed in the first measures for the preservation of order. This must be changed if we are not to fall into virtual anarchy." "The remedy? It lies with the authorities everywhere. They ought to exert all the powers at their command to hunt down the leaders of mobs and their victims. Instead of remarking upon the provocation and enumerating the extenuation circumstances, every public official should go after the mob like the wild beast that it is. The life of that deputy sheriff who fell while doing his duty is worth more than that of the police officer. Disperse them with clubs or mow them down with gatting guns if necessary, but do not let us have to think that these United States are given over utterly to the lords of misrule." All honor to Judge Thomas G. Jones of Alabama. Judge Jones in his second instructions to the jurors in the juror case told me that the evidence on either side it was perfectly clear that they should find the defendant guilty and that if they did not bring in a verdict of guilty they would dishonor themselves in the sight of men and prosecute them. He said they had not been able to see their way clear to agree on a verdict in a case in which the defendant was clearly proved to have bought an AfroAmerican for cash, worked him naked and put him on a bed, and him up at night and whipped him on the average, every other day. In the death of Gen. Cassius Marcellus Clay, which occurred at Lexington, Ky., Wednesday one of the most noted characters this country ever produced, has departed from this vault. He noted Abolitionists in the times when to favor the freedom of the slave cost men their lives. He was absolutely fearless and as strong in his convictions as he was fearless. He was always one of the best friends in this country, and very few of his class are left. Peace to his ashes. The Afro-Americans who make insane speeches and call the race to arms to right their wrongs are really dangerous, advisers. Nothing can be gained by such appeals. The best thing to work for is the creation of a healthy public sentiment in favor of justice for all citizens without regard to race. Governor Yates who has just returned from Europe will inaugurate measures to restore the supremacy of law in the commonwealth. The Belleville anarchists put a vile stain upon the good name of Illinois, and Gov. Yates will use his official authority to wipe this out. The death of Pope Leo XIII is the all absorbing topic of the hour and the people generally join in praise of his high character and pay just tribute to his piety and Christian spirit. He truly was a great man, whose death the whole world mourns. We have received a copy of "The impending Conflict" published in New York, by Melvin J. Chisum and edited by John E. Bruce. It is to be issued in a book that makes a good appearance typographically, and is well edited. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER THE STORY OF THE SLAVE. Slavery and Servitude in New Jersey. By Alfred M. Heston, Member of the New Jersey Historical Society, Camden, N.J. Shipkisson Grew & Sops Co. earthed from somewhere. "Thank ye, no!" he replied. "Aw'm thinkin' as we hed as much as guild for-r-me." He then related how feeling hurt. In the midle of the night, he bad get up and drunk quite an excellent addition to the literature of travel. Many white convicts were shipped to the colony, and many were merged into the mass of the population. An act providing for the gradual emancipation of the slaves, although New Jersey legislature in 1804. A fur trade agreement in 1814, did not bring about the complete emancipation of the slaves, although Lincoln's proclamation was issued. In 1808, Hon. Garret A. Hobart, at that time president of the United States, and sad passed a bill which removed from the colony the last vestige of slavery in New Jersey. The little book contains much valuable information. THE TU-TZE'S TOWER. "The Tu-Tze's Tower." By Louise Bette Edwards. 8vo. pp. 414 & 416. Philadelphia. The little book contains much valuable information. This story verges on the crisis, but its chief excellence lies in the depictions of foreigners in Peking, and portrayals of the spirit of Martyrdum in the sacrifice of native and alien adherents of a Christian nation, the death of her husband, Winifred's mission is to reach the aborigines of the land, and to help by her late husband as the most interesting people in Asia and the true Chinese—and to get into Tibet and the Tu-Tze When Michael arrives, he finds the women in the room to him in love with the unclevident rule: "The great author's conclusions." The great dilemma is that the Romance of the COMMONPLACE "The Romance of the Commonplace. By catechism" $1.50. San Francisco. Paul E.德勒 and Michael S.德勒. This is a volume of modern philosophy, and a masterpiece, famous by Jerome K. Jerome, B. B. Presses says many clever things in his book, and many more. He discovers many commonplace things written in a very uncommon manner. "The desire is one of the most contagious of diseases," he writes. "It is one of our moral constitutions never given up, our moral constitutions never given up, but once an epidemic begins it is hard to resist." He pages in well night irresidible. Tell your secret, then, broadcast, and let it have its effect. He confides to her who asserts she never liked her, and brings a seeded sown in fertile ground. It minates and flower long after you have forbidden it and brings forth fruit you never planted." Again: "Flattery is, however, an edged weapon not everyone who has the tact to decide at a glance just how much his victim will treat." The author treats of art, science and philosophy, and with such criticism, and with so much masterful art as to render this book of unusual interest. THE MYSTERY OF MURRAY DAVENPORT. The Mystery of Murray Development. A Story of New York at the Present Day. By Robert Nelson Stephens. Illustrated by Edwards. Boston: L. C. Page Co. Ltd. The scene is New York. The hero a dusty, but fortune has frowned upon him. Mr Stephens is particular to seek his own neighborhood, a familiar neighborhood. He films to repro- duce the bustle and excitement of its customs. The well-appointed flat, the Boheman cafe, the chophouse, the water- side neighborhood are all recognizable, and the place enough to seem perfectly natural. The "mystery" seems to be something to accept it for what it is worth we cer- tainly will not quarrel with the manner of the owner, but enough except the explanation when comes. It is the reader must learn for himself. **TWO ON THEIR TRAVELS.** "Tourism" is by Eibel Colquhoun, $2.50 New York, A. S. Barnes & "Two on Their Travels" by Eibel Colquhoun, with photographic illustrations by the writer is a very interesting book The writer describes the out-of-the-war places which she visited with a style enriched by the fashion and the style of treatment quite unique. In the chapter called "A voyage of misery and joy" she describes the experience of bad the drink was worse. The universal male demand for whiskey led to the production of the bitter beetle used in the Houses of Parliament." The commercial travel tasted it. it put down his glass and the bottle of whiskey, dressing the head boy he said with his slow Glasgow accent: "Whaur-r did you dress the head boy?" The irony was, I fear entirely lost. It was the same commercial traveler who, a few months earlier, a rather less polished drink was carthed from somewhere. "Thank ye, no!" he replied. "Aw'm thinkin' as he had as much as guild for-r me." He then related how, feeling thirsty in the middle of the night, he had got up and drunk what he believed to be about half a bottle of water. In the morning he discovered the water bottle full and the whisky bottle empty! "I thought it was very guild water-r." he remarked. The writer describes in a very interesting manner scenes, people and places in the Philippines, the straits settlement. Japan, China, and other countries in the East. The Illustrations are, many of them in colors and are very elaborate. **BAPSTEIN ANNUAL** The American Baptist Year Book for 1890, edited by the society of that denomination at Philadelphia (paper, 25 cents).

Cloth, B. Lippincott Company. Philadelphia, J. B. Lippincott Company. There are a few rare characters in interest with each succeeding generation, and which gleam brighter as time passes, and which men and things, by which they were envoyed. The characters are unique and original and bear striking analogies to each other, which is their self-delicature to truth. They may be called the guide posts of Socrates, Luther and Lincoln. It is about the latter that William Elder Curtis has written the title, "The True Abraham Lincoln." The story of Lincoln is always absorbing and full of human interest. The volumes which have been written about him would stock all library of large dimensions, and have no longer had more than one of them which surpass in arrangement of literary detail, Mr. Curtis' publication. "De mortuis nil nis bonum" has exerted such a profound influence on western thought. In the last years he calls it "throwing much light upon many of the eminent careers of distinguished statesmen and soldiers." Mr. Curtis, however, writes in a natural manner about a natural man, and does not fail to remind us that Mr. Lincoln had faults, as a youth, and a man. In the best results of the time, he is striking contrast to the sublimity of his character, which had been attained before his assassination. The illustrations are profusely and some of them appear for the first time in a published biography of the Great Emancipator's life. "Lincoln," the Leader of the Springfield Barclay full of interest, as the author traces his intellectual development, from that of the average pioneer, upward and onward until he became a pleader of such striking power and force as to easily surpass in the logos, the�pencion, his men who had been trained in institutions of higher education. "The occasion upon which Lincoln displayed unusual personal power as an orator is the organization of the Republican party early in 1856. Never was an audience more important than this occasion. The Convention, which was composed of former members of all political parties, and had launched a new political organization, taken extreme grounds against slavery, and had launched a new political organization, envious and hostile elements. Those who had watched the proceedings were political perceptions, realized the danger, and jealousy, and Lincoln, with his acute political perceptions, realized the danger, and understake Titanic tasks, but at the same time most of them clung to their heretofore established ideals in virtual methods with a tenacity that promised to defeat their common purpose. Therefore, the unlimited demand for a speech from the great orator of Springfield, his soul was flooded, and he amalgamated the patriotic emotions of his associates. At those fires spoke slowly, cautiously, and in a monotone, but gradually his words grew in force as he articulated the aims of the assembly together and his hearers "arose from their chars with pale faces, powerless lips and an insolent, cowardly loverly him." His influence was irresistible. THE REAL BLANKET The Real Blanket by Charles Burr, author of "The True Aaron Burr." 12mo. & cloth. illustrated. net. $1.20. New York: A. S. Barnes & Co. The "real" and "true" people seem to have the front of the stage just now. An unpleasant impression has prevailed in many quarters that Benedict Arnold has acceded to his country were ignored and his great fault was that he was not bombarded or bombarded. Treachery to one's country far surpasses the danger of being not to be condoned in any wise. There may be. however, certain circumstances need and modify the bitter condensation¹. While not condoning Arnold's treason, Mr. Todd emphasizes and shows conclusively that he four times saved the cause of the attack on the British fleet on Island on Lake Champlain (the first naval battle, by the way, in which our arms were used to attack the British valor, he gave the British such wholesome respect, for the bravery of his plan of invasion from the north that year; second, by raising Valley and putting to flight St. Lager's invading army marching to aid Burgoyne, by the third, by taking the battles of Saratoga, which conjoined, Cressey included as one of the fifteen de Mr. Todd also shows that it was the influence of Arnold's wife and his fear of the British officers he responded with the British officers he discovered, which induced him to accuse the officers of Congress injustice of Congress not the calamities of paper generals—the motives generals used to resist the unique contribution to revolutionary history. The illustrations show how the unique noteworthy is the reproduction of an old print representing the burning of the city, it is said his mind wandered, and he was again in America, where he was still escaped to the "Vulture," and which he had ever cherished, might be brought and used to scavenge for knots which Washington had given him as the bravest of the brave, and the american uniform," he said, "the uniform in which I fought my battles. God forgive me, "for ever putting on any other." Picturer of Swedish Life; or Sva and her children. By Mrs. Woods Baker. Pp. 408. $250. Engberg-Holmberg Publishing Co., Chicago. This is a beautifully 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 every variety of Swedish life. The author writes the length on the simplicity of living which characterizes all classes. Sweden's population and skills are that the strength of this people lies in the "The sons of the nobility, which further advanced in life, are accustomed to habits of life most simple and unpretending." In a chapter entitled "What's in a Name?" the authors show still further the rule of simplicity of these people and says, "With regard to surnames in Sweden, extremes meet. The highest and lowest have none. Oscar II. is simply Oscar II., dropping the Bernadotte. The humblest farm laborer is but Anders or Axel, while his wife is simply Brita. Anna or Maria. When a man humbly lifes has attached distinction even to ordinary things he may have a title which identifies him as "Tallor Larsen" or "Carenter Krickson." quite an excellent addition to the liter- ature of travel.

BONDS AND STORIES FROM TENNESSEE. "Songs and Stories from Tennessee" by John Trottwood Moore, 8.00 H.D. Philadelphia; Henry T. Coates & Co. "Songs and Stories from Tennessee" by John Trottwood Moore is a volume of real literary merit. "Ole Mistle," are gems of artistry. "Ole Mistle," are a story of the turf, wherein the genius of the colored leaves of ordinary power. "Wat, sah, I sleep on the turf," are gems of artistry. "Wat, sah, I sleep on the turf," are gems of artistry. "Wat, sah, I sleep on the turf," are gems of artistry. Do morning of de race war come in the green. "Twas down in de cloer bottom." This is the prelude to the description of the school, school, and school, and skill and dramatic power, is almost equal to Lew Wallace's chariot race in Ben Hur. Mr. Moore's poetry is redolent of southwestern lands and sunsets and show much depth of sentiment. "The valley rolls to the river And the river is tinged with fire. Like the strings of the sunset quiver Like the strings of a golden lye. Like the strings of a golden lye. Weeden and Robert Dickey are very attractive. THE NEGRO.

The book gives the opportunities to raise the standard and kindle the man and boy. It will likewise serve to impress the white reader with the vast possibilities of the emancipation. This achievement is such as to win for him universal respect and admiration. It is written from the standpoint of the archivist, and is an association of the name of Gen John B. Gordon, by way of introduction, whose name is also the name of the United States senator, as a distinguished general, has won admiration and unanimous praise for his guaranteed character and high regard of the book. It is a book not only for the Afro-American Caucasian. Its revelations will be a source of agreeable astonishment to him. THE ARCHIVIST OF SAMARA. The Archery of Samara. By Henry Illowiz. $1.60.

A story of municipal politics depicting the struggle to coexist with practically all large cities.

The government centres around a society girl of high ideals who inspires a campaign. She thus involves in the thread of the story which relates to the struggle to coexist with low an effort to be both upright and successful in municipal politics.

Whether Goleysh is guilty, he neck when they give him down in Mississippi, where an Afro-American has no show for justice. A Great Run. "Did your new play have a good run in the West?"

E LEADERS Ten Cent Cigar. Five Cent Cigar. D. Distributor ST. PAUL. Address of the National Afro-American Press Association. To the People of the United States. At the twenty-fourth annual meeting of the National Afro-American Press Association held at Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, Louisville, KY., Monday, June 29, 1903, the following address was adopted: The National Afro-American Press Association held at its twenty-fourth annual meeting in Louisville, KY, feel that in the present crisis in the history of the Afro-American people, when a systematic and thoroughly organized movement, begun in 1688, is working with malicious and illuminant energy sources, the abundant rights of those for whom we stand in some part as spokesmen, it is necessary to re-affirm and emphasize the following principles fundamental in citizenship and generally championed by all Afro-American newspapers, and by all African-American leaders to live up, as far as they can, to the letter and spirit of these principles. "We resent the reiterated statement that this is a "white man's country." It was made in its inception and, by permission, by the people, irrespective of race and the Federal institution specifically places all of its citizens on equality before the law. With our heterogeneous population of all of the races on the globe, if disaffected by race, or if race should ever, become a fixed policy of the Government, the disruption of the Government would be inevitable. God has created one no race to lord over any other race, for "of one blood there shall be one." The persistent effort which has been made and is being made to nullify the suffrage guarantees of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the Federal Constitution is fraught with as much danger to the peace and security of the nation as to slavery upon the Constitution.

This effort has caused constant irritation of the public mind and temper since 1868, and there promises in the near future to be a crisis in which the wrongs and inequalities which have been imposed upon the States will have to be definitely settled. We claim nothing more than what is guaranteed to all citizens by the Federal Constitution and made mandatory upon the States, and we will be required, with validation from the United States, declared that "this country cannot exist half slave and half free," and we declare that this country cannot exist in peace, security and prosperity where one-seventh of the total population is freed, and where the rights abridged or denied, to the debasement of manhood and womanhood by the late slave-holding States. Denial of the denial or abridement of all the related rights of citizenship, be it the right to vote, the right no right which any man is bound to respect. We believe firmly in the healing virtues of sound religion and sound education; and by education we mean a thorough training in all useful learning of the heart, the soul, and the mind. We shall求南 Caucasians pay the taxes necessary to educate the Southern Afro-American is an economic absurdity which would only be advanced as an argument by persons who are not interested in justice. Each man standing in his place in every community pays as much taxes as any other man. This is an economic truism which no reputable master of social conditions, from Adam Smith to Thomas Jefferson, we again direct attention to the effect produced by the license of the mob spirit. We do this not because we are the victims in most part of this license, but because it has become a national problem with which the nation must deal or ultimately go down to ruin in the mid overflow of anarchistic Defective Page WE ARE LEADERS.

It is a national problem in which we have only co-ordinate interest. Criminal instincts 'abide in the bone and blood of all races and the blood of history, has been to protect itself from excesses of such by laws and legal processes. Mob licenses is a feature of crime more dangerous to the well being and perpetuity of society than isolated infractions of law by individuals. We heartly command the brave and patriotic position taken by President Roosevelt in the enforcement of the Federal Constitution and the laws of the United States. We interest in our race, and we do this without any political bias whatsoever. As we condemn the unfaithful public unsparingly we deem it wise, equally unsparingly, to command the unfaithful public in these times when so many men in high places are false to their principles and the best interest of the whole people.

A SYMPOSIUM ON L1AR$ The following symposium on "Liar" is worth reading, even if it fails to do the subject complete justice: The liar whom the editor hates worst of all is the man who, when dunned for a aye, a subscription, says he only will pay for the year, and refuses to pay—Clarksville Graphic. Next to, if not above this one, the editor, hates a liar who takes the paper seven or eight years, and when finally cornered for settlement, says he never ordered the paper at all—Pike County Post. The liar of the whole outfit is the man who takes the paper several years, then moves away without paying or saying anything about it, and yet says he is an honest man.—Elsbury Advance. Bretchen, you all fall short of the truth, the biggest liar in the lot is the editor, who publishes the obituary of these aforementioned liars and intimates that they have gone to heaven.—Plymouth Independent.

When questioned, Governor Yates intimated that he would run for reelection. It was mentioned to him that both Frank O. Lowden and Charles Deneen had political aspirations. To this he replied that both were splendid men and that he respected them. Further than that he would not discuss the State situation. "Your name has been mentioned as a possible candidate for Vice President on the republican ticket? "I answered that question when I went away. I said then that there was only one office higher than Gover- J. H. nor of Illinois and that was the Presidency. I saw that statement in a Paris paper and that statement appeared as though I was after the Presidency. I did not mean to convey such an idea. I am for Roosevelt. I have been for him for some years and I repeat now as I did when I sailed that we, in my State, are in favor of Roosevelt." It was pointed out to the Governor that though he had said that Illinois was not affected by the Negro question, a Negro book lynched after he after he sailed. He replied:—"I deplore lynching" "The punishment of the lynchers belongs to another branch of the State government, but I can assure you that if any are sent to prison for such an act I will see that they stay there." SENATOR CULLOM. Denounces Mob Barbarium in Strong Terms. But, fellow citizens, there is a question in cur own country in which we are or ought to be greatly concerned. I speak of the recent lynching of Afro-Americans by irresponsible mobs which have taken place within the 1890 past year, and particularly the month of June. This is a matter that involves the honor, the dignity, the perpetuity of our nation, and should be seriously considered by our people. These outrages do not, seem to be confined to any particular locality, they extend both North and South, and it is with shame and regret that we must confess that Illinois, the home of Lincoln, is also guilty. I have seen it stated in a public press that the year last almost 100 lynchings of African-Americans have taken place in the United States. The crime to be forgetting that this is a government of law, that we have courts here with full power to deal out punishment to those convicted of crime, and are taking the administration of justice into their own hands by wildly violating the law in the lynching of persons charged with crime. It is the duty of the law officers of the various states to bring those concerned in such lynchings speedily to justice. They should be dealt with according to law.—Fourth of July Speech.
