The Appeal

VOL. 19. NO. 31. THE JUNIOR LOVER. HOW CUPIID'S SHAFTS AFFECT THE BOY OF SIXTEEN. Divine Passion Works Wonders with Its Happy Victim—Self-Sacrifice One of His Keenest Pleasures Until Disillusionment Arrives and Cures. At sixteen the boy who is disposed at all to have a dreamy fancy for the opposite sex is apt to show his colors in various ways. Some boys are reticent, shy, retiring. That is the sort of a junior lover who sits in the window and peeps with all devouring eyes at Clara as she passes to and from the postoffice. How the very glimpse of her trim figure clad in gown more grand than errand or satin ever worn by royal princess causes his heart to thrill as his nerves tingle from the tips of his fingers to the ends of his toes! A! that is the junior lover who hugs the delicious secret within the innermost recesses of the heart and dares scarcely to breathe the innoading name above a whisper, even in the quiet sanctuary of his chamber. There is another sixteen-year-old lover, but he is less reticent, less shy, less retiring. He is the chap who hangs around the favored ones who are blessed by circumstances and are allowed by kind fate to come in contact with the fair one. They also breathe the same atmosphere that she does and touch her sacred fingers in everyday life. You will find this junior lover curry favoring Clara as she fathered her debars this lover not in the slightest. If perchance Clara kisses a younger sister of his this younger sister is forthwith erected upon a pedestal of more worth than the finest of diamonds from the mines of South Africa. There is an exquisiteness about this sister whose lips have been touched by the divine Clara that no pen dare portrait. It is one of the rose dreams of life, too sacred for common words. In the meantime he may sit on Clara the reservation bench or stand near to her during blackboard exercises. He builds a dam in the swollen creek and wades in above his boots, and he does it because she simply says: "Your boots are awful high!" Oh, the delight of that little attention. Oh, the music of that voice singing so loudly he has laid his head upon the pillow and turned his eyes up to the stars that glimmer beyond his little window. Riches may come to him and fame may greet him, but he will never know more supreme bliss and delight than that which touched the heart of his young eyes when Clara simply said when he waded the dam: "Your boots are awful high!" There is still another junior lover, he who reigns without nor brooks a rival, resistant, forceful; a liar if need be on his part for the purpose of teaching Clara's hand or indulging the intoxication of his soul—simply to breathe the perfume wafers from her hair. (In his case the object of his glorious love is ten or a dazen years older than he. It matters not to this forceful junior lover; she is his.) He is presumably a nuisance to Clara as well as her more staid admirers, also the bane of her life. When the spell grips him real hard he is in the habit of doing peculiar things; then to the world in general he is an utter idiot. In his estimation he is heroic to the highest degree. His is the hand thrust first forth to pick from the floor the glove or handkerchief dropped by Clara, and he does not hesitate to cleave his way through a bevy of old admirers to rescue from the trampled feet a blossom from her hair or a knot of ribbon from her sleeve. If her fingers touch his he becomes utterly insane for the time being. His is the superficial eye that takes more than passing heed of the appearance or the slightest word of Clara. A tiny spot nestling among her snowy teeth renders him the time he a midnight possibly cure him of his passion. And, oh horror of horrors! if he should perceive note that her left slipper is run down at the heel never so slightly he will bewail the calamitous circumstance and magnify the oversight until he grows faint. A run-down heel or a tiny rent in the dress never fails to cure this junior lover of his mooning. However, all comes out well in the end. The junior lover has his spells of storm and quiet; he arises from the slough of despond or the smiling lake of bliss with the same old jolly delight for life and the things in store. God bless the junior lover! He has had his dreams, sweet and sweet, and has never passed through this rose-dream epoch has missed the divine delight pleasure kind Nature scatters along the way for her children. Are You a Lychnobite1 A day worker met some morning newspaper men, all of them being slightly "under the influence." In the conversation that ensued the day man said: "You lychobites ought to go way back and sit down." The objects of the epithet were much offended at its application to them, but were mollified when they found that the dictionary defines "lychobite" as "one who works at night and sleeps by day." This reminds one of the story of Daniel O'Connell, who vanquished a Billingsgate fishwoman by calling her a right-angled hypothese-Typo- THE BARTENDER GETTING EVEN How the Drink Mixers Generally Re- sent insults from the boss. Since the bar is a necessary evil to the state, being licensed—reference to it occasionally must be excused. There are some very clever men behind the bar, and once in a while a gentleman. Tab is usually kept on him by the metal cash register. He feels that he is being watched at all hours by a maze of patented machinery. If he steals a check of 15 cents he is caught, you may say. Not at all! The other day in a fashionable dress, you see a pompous, "called gown" one of his men before some customers. As to the question of right or wrong, I say nothing. But presently, when Signor Pomposity turned his back, the barman emptied a full bottle of the finest whisky into the washing trough under the bar. It was worth at least $1.50. That was his way of getting even. I am informed that it is the usual way of resenting an insult from the proprietor. The mere stealing of 15 cents is a small matter, when the man is in the sands of dollars' worth of liquors. If a man is not to be trusted with change, how is he to be trusted with liquors?—New York Press. OUR BIG RAILROAD OF INDUSTRY A Million and a Quarter Workers and Their Number, Increasing hell. Number the cacing. The records in this country are employing more persons than ever before in their history. According to statistics in the report of the Interstate Commerce Commission there were 594 railroad employees for every hundred miles of tracks last year, and there were 1,189,315 employees altogether. In the year before there were only 1,071,169 railroad employees, and the average was only 548 for every hundred miles of line, so that independently of the increase in mileage the number of workers employed has increased 46 for each hundred miles of line. Since these statistics were collected there has been a 'correspondingly large increase in the number of employees, if railroad statisticians are to be believed, so that the number of men on the railroad payroll in this country is considerably over a million and a quarter. FOODS FOR THE TRAVELER Government Now Settles What They Should Be, in Germany Several of the German governments have recently manifested great interest in catering to the stomachs of railroad passengers within their borders. In Germany, much more than here, refreshments are hawked along side the passenger trains by waiters attached to the station restaurants. Now the authorities in Saxony have required that refreshments must be included in the offerings. Cool drinking water—for not more than 5 pennings (1.2 cents) a glass of 0.4 litre (the capacity of a small beer mug); mineral water for not more than 5 cents a small bottle, and fresh fruit in season, with the price plainly marked. Bottles and glasses must be kept perfectly clean, and the provisions in the station buffets must be kept under the door, and the prices from the store. Severe penalties are to be inflicted for violations of these rules. - The Murder of Czar Paul. The nearest approach in modern times to the recent Servian tragedy was the murder of the Emperor Paul of Russia, who was done to death by his nobles March 24, 1801. He had gone to bed in his accustomed manor, wearing his uniform, as well as awakened and spurred. He was awakened in the night by hearing the struggle between the sentry and the nobles, who, after dispatching the soldier, burst into the emperor's room. Paul begged for his life but all in vain. He was ordered to be beheaded, but cutting himself badly in the attempt. He was dragged back and for a time kept his nine assailants at bay by striking out with a chair. Then, after a terrible struggle, they seized him and strangled him with his own sash. Substitute Got Hilarious Nathaniel Hawthorne once told how he felt when he was called upon unexpectedly to speak at a dinner. "As I rose," he said, "I tapped upon my mind and it sounded hollow.

Thus the guests were free to enjoy the affair to the utmost without any of that nervousness which besets most people who have to speak at a banquet. But, unfortunately, the audience of "oratory by proxy" the talented substitute began to get hilarious after a series of festivities and had to be dismissed. The Night. THE APPEAL. UNITED STATES RAISES THREE- FOURTHS OF WORLD'S CORN CROP The corn crops of the world, in each year, are roundly 2,800,000 bushels. The percentages produced in the several countries are as follows: United States, 74.9; Canada, 9; Mexico, 3.6; Europe, 16.4; South America, 2.7, and North America, 1.5. The principal producing country in Europe is Hungary, and not much is raised outside of the Danubian districts. The South American crop is mainly in Argentina. As will be seen, the United States CORN CROP OF 1902 = 2,523,640 FROM 94,043,613 ATTES GREAT THAN 15 CONTAINED IN OWN ILLINOIS AND A THE 7 SHADED STATES ARE SURPRISED MORE CORN THAN THEY USED LAUNCHED WITH CORN 94,043,613 PLANTED WITH CORN 94,043,613 TOTAL CORN AREA IN US 94,043,613 SHOWS 18 PERCENT OF LAND IN OF 7 STATES PLANTED WITH CORN THE CORN CROP OF CHICAGO 918,550 CARS, MAKING MIDDLE NAMLY GROWING EARTH WORLD MARKS AND NUTS 2,523,648,312 BUSHELS THE GREAT DISTRICT OHIO INDIANA INVOKED AND % OF IOWA ARE SURPLUS STATES THEY USE BIGGEST COURSES 004 099 OF LAND IN EACH WITH CORN IN UNITED STATES IN SHELLS WIDE HANDSOME OF FREIGHT CARS 25,900 M SUNDING EARTH AT EQUATOR THE CORN CROSS OF CHINA IS A STATE IF SHELLLED WOULD LOAD 9,164,560 CARS MAKING MILITARY FREIGHT CARS 29,900 MILES NEARLY GIMBALING EARTH AT EQUATOR WOULD LOAD CARS raises nearly three-fourths of the whole. In wheat the United States raises but 22½ per cent. This is one exhibit of the importance of the American corn crop. Corn is the most valuable of our productions. Our cotton crop is largely dependent upon it. It is the keystone of our agricultural prosperity; the one crop we can least afford to lose. The crop in 1902 was not the largest the United States has produced. In its measurement it was a large crop. Officially, it was 2,523,643 bushels from 94,042,613 acres. To grasp what these figures mean, the acreage, in square miles, is 14,693,8 and an area sufficiently large to make a band nearly six miles wide; the earth's large circumference; an area the size of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and one-fourth of Iowa, and all in corn. If in a single bulk of shelled corn, the production in 1902 would make a mass 112% feet high, with perpendicular sides, on a base of a square mile. If in car loads of 800 bushels, it means 3,154,560 bushels, making a line of freight cars 23,900 miles long, that would nearly girdle the earth at the equator. The land area of the seven surplus states, the states producing more corn than they use, is 255,817,600 acres. In 1902 these states had 18.3 per cent of this area in corn, or 48,090,707 acres out of a total of 94,043,970 acres the entire inventory. The seven surplus states had the following percentage of their land surface in corn: Ohio, 12.3; Indiana, 19.7; Illinois, 26.9; Iowa, 26.1; Missouri, 15.5; Kansas, 14.2; Nebraska, 15.9. If lands not in cultivation—lands in forests, cities, railways, etc.—are excluded, these percentages are possibly doubled. This is another evidence of the crop's importance. Map Showing the Combined Acreage and Yield of Winter and Spring Wheat in Kansas in 1901, by Counties. Upper figures show acreage and lower figures the yield in bushels. The thirty leading counties comprising the "Kansas wheat" are outlined below, produced 71,046,076 bushels, or 30 per cent, of the crop of 1901, and the yields of each are shown in bed-field type. Defective Page In relation to the total crop, these states had 51.7 per cent of the entire area and raised 67.4 per cent of the total bushels. Their per capita production, with a population estimated to be about 20,340,000 and about one-fourth of the present population of the United States, was 83.7 bushels; in all other states but 13.7 bushels. The total population of 1900 is unknown quantity. It is a general estimate that three-fourths of it had seeding by June 1. The re 312 DUSTELS INTER AREA INDIANA OF IOWA STATES IF ENTIRE CORN CROSS OF 1902 WERE SHELLED SPACE 1 MIL AND 112% STATES IF SHELLED WORLD LOAD FREIGHT CARS 14,000 MIL. 25 LAMBS THAT EQUATOR 1,400 MIL. 25 LAMBS maining one-fourth—or, approximately, 18,500,000 acres—is to be treated as most affected to mar the general prospect. And right here we enter the threshold of the crop indication. Probably 70,000,000 acres at least had timely planting, for only in parts of the surplus states does there appear to have been highly unfavorable and preventing conditions. Should the acreage for this year's crop be reduced to 80,000,000, which I do not believe will be the case, it would be a reduction of 15 per cent from the figures of last year. It would mean the loss of an area equivalent to 21,943 square miles, an area constituting one-half of the total Missouri. It would mean as many acres as were in corn in the states of Indiana and Illinois in 1902, or as many as were in corn in Missouri and Kansas in that year. Except in 1901, a calamitous year, when the yield of corn per acre was as jaw as 16.7, an average yield has been 24.52 bushels for ten years. In but one year of the ten forming this average was it under 20 bushels. It was 19.38 in the calamitous year of 1894, when the official crop was declared 1,212,770,052 bushels. Assuming 80,000,000 acres only for this year, this average production of 24.52 stands for 1,961,000,000 bushels. There are good reasons why we will have no such reduction as to 80,000,000 acres. The damage districts are not general. As already intimated, bushels are not grown last year was 45,413,065 acres. This is probably not lessened in this year. Under the incentive of a high price it may show some increase. If, then, we place so large a loss as roundly 14,000,000 acres from last year in the surplus states, it means nearly 30 per cent of their corn area. This is so large, so much in excess of any pestimistic view, that it calls for no entertainment. The crop of 1902 was not the largest ever produced. There was every incentive that it should be. The country was bare. Farms were in sore need of their great essential. The price was high and time favorable. The crop however, was late in maturing and late in availability. Its use began with October. A scarcity of animals UNITED STATES PERCENT 74.9 EUROPE 16.4 MEXICO SOUTH AMERICA AUSTRALIA CANADA 3.6 7:44 7:58 TOP IT WOULD FILL SQUARE FEET HIGH CITY BLOCKS to feed, as evidenced in lessened packing and the high prices of meats; the finest and most prolonged fall pasture in years; a mild winter, and ample stores of cheaper feeding stuffs, admitted of great economies in the use of corn. Farmers were disposed to good holdings against contingencies of a following crop, and the price prevented waste. With these several features restricting consumption, the declaration that but 1,050,600,000 remained on the farms on March 1, 1903, may be classified as among the few that are asked to believe in a greater consumption in five months, when there was little need for it, than ever before; in a disappearance of nearly 1,500,000,000 bushels, or 10,000,000 bushels a day, for 150 days. It is my opinion that the reserves on March 1 were near 1,200,000,000. Deliveries by farmers were restrained by late maturity and the soft condition of the grain, a scarcity of cars during the winter, bad roads in the spring and later by a tendency to hold on an impaired crop promise. High prices are a great check on consumption. At this time, with crop advices before me from representative districts, I believe a crop not under two billion is a conservative estimate. There can be conditions to change this either way. The situation is probably more hopeful than promising. A few bright days and a seasonal warmup will dispel much of the present anxiety.—Oscar K.

Looking over his spectacles, the judge in a squeaky voice said: "Jim, stand up." The gambler obeyed. "Jim, have you anything to say before I pass sentence on you?" "No, sir." "Jim, I'm a-goin' to fine you $50—" "All right, judge," interrupted the man, "here it is in my hip pocket." "And give you sixty days in jail," continued the judge.

A seedy looking customer, with an Arkansas mustache, a Wild West beard of three days' growth and an Indian, Territory look in his eye was buying a six-shooter, in an uptown store, says the New York Press. "This one is. $475," said the clerk, "and it's a good gun for the money." "Can't you come down a little on that?" queried the buyer, looking up under his shaggy eyebrows and rusty sombrero. Being answered in the negative, the gun loosely into trousers pocket, got a supply of cartridges and went out. "I don't care what he does with that gun," carelessly remarked the clerk, "but I know very well he has no intention of suicide. He wouldn't have cared anything about the price, if he had. He says he boards on the Bowery; place is tough looking, but the best he can afford, and he wants the gun to protect himself. I'm quite sure anyway, there's no idea of suicide running through his head. Folk of that sort are easy to pick out. They have a lot of money that gives them away, and they are mostly women, too. I refused to sell a gun to one only the other day. Oh, there's not so very many of them, but it's dead easy to know them when one has a little experience." VALUE OF NEW YORK REALTY. Immense Sums Paid for Tracts in Desirable Localities. Leaving aside the vast valuations added to it by consolidation, the accumulations of property on Manhattan Island alone have been astounding. Once sold in bulk for $24, the island now has a tax valuation, real and personal, of $2,908,755,146. Its real estate values have risen prodigiously from the initial market quotation. Important contracts in desirable localities, as high as $400 per square foot have been asked for sites in business sections, making a price of $1,000,000 for a lot 25 by 100. Enormous fortunes have been built up by the increment of real estate values, the most striking example of these being the Astor estate founded on extensive purchases of land when the latter could be had for trifling sums. Like attracts like, and so Manhattan is attracting to it the city's wealth. The country. No other city possesses so many millionaires as does New York, and their presence here is no slight effect in the running up of property rights—Leslie's Weekly. His Explanation. "I find you are an attractive fellow, Dickie, you know," she had just remarked, brushing his hair with the lace of her sunshade, "but, really, such a splendidly built young man ought to be ashamed to lie abed till all hours instead of being out taking exercise." "Oh, I say," he answered, "don't be hard on a chap. Fact is, it's the governor who's responsible for my laziness." "How's that?" queried she. "Why, you see, it's this way. The old boy got an idea into his noddle some time ago that I was drinking too much, and wanted me to swear off. Couldn't do that, you know, so we compromised on the basis of my not drinking till dinner time." "Really, Dickie," she laughed, "I don't see what that has to do with it." "You don't?" he asked, sitting bolt upright. "If a man can't drink until dinner, what's the use of getting up until dinner time?" Repartee in Church.

NEED OF GOOD ROADS BENEFIT DWELLERS IN BOTH CITY AND COUNTRY. Little Incident That Set Farmer and Manufacturer to Thinking Along the Same Lines and Boomed the Cause of State Aided Road Building. --- A few weeks ago a Maryland farmer found an automobile safely anchored in a mud hole on a country road about twenty miles from the city home of the owner. The automobilist was vigorously swearing at the mud, the farmers and the rural districts in what, he struck a bargain with the farmer to extricate his machine and haul it to the nearest possible road for $3.50. When the job was finished both were in a comparatively good humor. The automobilist lit a fresh ten-cent cigar and presented the farmer one, and the following dialogue ensued: "Why don't you farmers improve these roads?" "Well, we do work 'em every year, but they don't seem to get any better." "But why don't you build first-class roads and be done with it?" "Say, Mister, you must think we're rich out here in the back woods. How much do you reckon it would cost? Not less than two or three thousand dollars a mile, I guess. That would break us up. We're taxed already as much as we can stand. If you city fellows want to go touring over these roads, I guess you'll have to get used to the mud, same as we have." After the two had smoked in silence for half a minute the farmer cleared his throat and ventured to ask: "Say, why don't you rich city fellows give us a lift and help us improve these roads? I've been reading some lately about state aid and government aid for the farmers in building good roads. Why don't you go in for these things? Wouldn't it be a benefit to the whole community?" "Well," replied the automobilist, who happened to be a millionaire manufacturer, "I don't know but you are right. I hadn't thought of it in that light." After some further discussion along this line, the two separated, each with some new ideas. The farmer had grasped the idea that the automobile, which he had always viewed with mingled feelings of scorn and amusement, might after all turn out to be a great friend of his; might, in fact, be the means of inducing the rich men of the cities to help the farmers build good country roads. The rich city man, on the other hand, had got a glimpse of the real conditions and sentiments prevailing in the country. He realized as never before that no general improvement of the country roads could be hoped for so long as the farmers were left uninformed or unpaused. In fact, he saw the influence of applying them to shoulder the whole burden. As a result of this incident, both the farmer and the automobiles are now conducting a little campaign among their neighbors in favor of state and national aid to road building. THE D——FOOL VOTE. How Champ Clark Won Precinct by Daring Rejoiner. Congressman Champ Clark usually manages to take pretty good care of himself, whatever the circumstances. During one of his campaigns in Missouri he struck an exceptionally hostile neighborhood. He had been subjected to several interruptions, and finally a burly fellow strode down to the front of the platform and said: "Say, you're a d—dool, and everybody here knows it!" Clark's face actually became radiant at this announcement. He leaned over, and before the bewildered spectator who had hurried the epithet could think, selzed his hand and wrung it out, then, facing his acquaintance, said: "The remark of my friend here has given me renewed encouragement. If before I had any shadow of doubt as to my success, he has dispelled it, for if I poll the full d—dool vote of this precinct, I will be elected by a rousing majority." Clark afterward said he knew he was taking long chances. But the audience went wild over the rejoinder, and the Congressman really did carry the precinct when election day rolled around.—Baltimore Herald. Kansas Philosopher.

Prayer by Rev. Newell Dwight Millis, pastor of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, New York. SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 1903. Many of the whites profess to be much exercised at the Afro-Americans for not condemning the victims of mobs for their alleged crimes. We do not condemn them when we know, or, even believe them to be guilty. But when their alleged crimes, however horrible, barbarous or satanic are completely overshadowed by the prejudice the prejudice mob that hangs or burns its victim first and then tries him afterward, this leaves only the acts of the mob as fully established facts, and therefore the ones we must condemn are not the act of aacteristic law breakers, but on the contrary have a most high regard for the majesty of the law; and, submit almost without even a protest, to the fact that the mobs are framed with the avowed purpose of depriving of certain inenable rights, or which are oppressive only upon them. We do not uphold or condone in any wise whatever any of the Americans, and are absolutely deoutous that the severest penalties the law imposes shall be inflicted whenever Afro-Americans be guilty of infraction of the law; but, at the same time, we must assuredly wish the guilt of the accused to be fully established before a legally organized tribunal of the law, or carried out only by legally authorized officers of the law. Surely no right thinking man wishes an innocent person to pay the penalty for some crime or misdemeanor of which he is not guilty. The Bible, the founders of Christianity, are usually better that many guilty should escape rather than one innocent should be punished. And there is very little danger of any Afro-American escaping, the judges, the juries and all the whatsoever we are to do. The principle involved in mob law, for in it there is frequently an danger for the innocent as for the guilty. Especially is this so where Afro-Americans are concerned, for seldom does a mob undertake to punish some alleged crimes from their homes and have their property destroyed by these mobs with whom the color of the criminal is worse than the crime. It used to be that alleged rape or attempted rape were the only crimes that no longer so and others are not lynched who are not accused of rape where one is lynched on account of criminal assault. If one happens to be black that is all he need to be guilty of to be lynched. Let the fact that any person is actually guilty of the crime we are ready and willing to condemn him as strongly as any person, whether he be black or white. --- Lynchings were denounced in unequivocal terms by the recent Illinois State Bar association just before its adjournment. In a resolution which the members placed the seal of condemnation upon the practice both in Illinois and outside the borders of the state. Officers of the law were appealed to to put forth every effort to prevent persons participating in such lawlessness, but such individuals as incite mobs to action. Just as Judge Tuley had announced that a motion to adjourn would be in order Attorney Stephen S. Gregory wrote that the resolution, which reads as follows. Resolved, That the members of the Illinois State Bar association desire to record their severe condemnation of the crime of lynching now unhapazed by the vigilant vigilant of a fragrant case of which has recently occurred within the borders of this state. We earnestly appeal to all the officers of the law to spare no effort to prevent similar atrocities in the state and to ensure that secure the condign punishment of those guilty of inciting or participating in such lawless and demoralizing offenses against good government and the social order. I must state that the whites should wake up on the subject of lynching. We have been telling them for a long time that Afro-Americans would not be the only ones lynched when the habit once got a firm hold on the people. At the session of the National Convention of the United Brothers of Friendship, at St. Louis, the following resolutions were adopted: "Resolved, That the United Brothers of Friendship in convention assembled, express their appreciation of the efforts of the American attitude of President Roosevelt on all questions affecting the rights of Afro-Americans under the Federal Constitution, and his declaration that the door of opportunity should be closed against no man on account of his race, and no man on account of previous condition; and, be it further, "Resolved, That the United Brothers of Friendship consider it fortunate in this crisis in the history of the Republic that a man of the courage and strength of the United Brothers should occupy the chief executive office in the gift of the people." Raymond Patterson, the correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, who dishes up a lot of rot two or three times a week, now claims that the majority of the Afro-American race is not far from barbarian, but Raymond has not made a careful study of the situation from all points of view. That he is a black man, he says, is the fact that he refers to Afro-Americans as "darkies," "saddle colored darkies," and other terms which no unprejudiced gentleman would use. --- All honor to brave Sheriff Whitlock of Vermilion county, Illinois, and his handful of deputies who defended the jail and prevented the lynchers from murdering the Afro-American prisoners incarcerated therein. And also to the jail, Gather the Da Ville minister who begged the mob to retrain from lynching and then fought to defend the prisoner, he deserves great praise for his action. The Southern cavaliers have just lynched an Afro-American woman charged with having poisoned a sixteen year old Caucasian girl. The woman denied the charge to the last person in line, there was no proof she was hanged and while the body was dangling in mid-air it was riddled with bullets by the superior Southern savages. A Caucasian clerk in Buffalo, N. Y. whose salary was $16 per month, stole. money now they say that he is mentally ill and is stealing the Caucasians have done recently it would seem that all of the white folks are going crazy. To-day is the anniversary of the emancipation of the slaves in the West Indies and will be appropriately celebrated in many parts of this liberty-loving country. Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, thinks that with Roosevelt as the Republican standard bearer in 1904, the Democrats have no show. Carter has a long head. Now that there are several companies of soldiers at Danville it is likely that the mobocrats will be good. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER THE STORY OF THE SLAVE Slave and Slave Trade New Jersey. By Alfred M. Heston Member of the New Jersey Historical Society, Camden, N.J. In connection with the trial of had faults, as a youth, and as a man, these faults have been a striking contrast to the sublimity of his character, which had been attained before recognized that they are neighbors—new occupants of the same country—and occupy it for generations to come—the mutual understanding and a mutual go to understanding the matters of the This monograph is a recital of slavery in America long before 1619, and the fact is brought out that slavery existed in America long before 1619, and that slavery was carried of human freight to Jamestown. The Antebellum in Mexico enslaved not only slaves but also the nation who were convicted of theft and murder, and introduced in New Jersey in 1808—at least that is the earliest recorded instance of the leading citizens engaged in the African slave trade. There is a record of one African coast always turned out well, who returned thanks to the Sunday fellow in harbor in these words: "An overruiling land of freedom another cargo of benighted heatheen to the blessings of good men." Amboys was New Jersey's chief port of entry, and blacks were to be seen freshly imported and still bearing their $900 in bondage from Amboys to New Jersey known as redemptive servitude, existed in the seventeenth centuries. This form of bondage was usually voluntary, and at the expiration of their bondage merged into the mass of white population without any special taint of servitude. Slaves, who were found to be cheaper than white servants, checked in a messenger's cargo. Many white convicts were shipped to New Jersey from the British Islands, and sent to the colonies for laboration. An act providing for the gradual emancipation of convicts by the New Jersey legislature was published in 1894, for further act in 1820 and still later another act in 1830. A further emancipation of the slaves abolished there were in 1810 in the entire state when the governor of New Jersey sent a letter to 1889. Hon. Garnet A. Hobart, at that time a member of the state senate, introduced a bill which removed from the statutes the last vestige of slavery in New Jersey. The book contains much valuable information. --- ROMANCE OF THE COMMONPLACE The Romance of the Commonplace. By George Eliot. Francisco Paul Eder and Morgan Shepard. This is a volume of modern philosophy, written by Jerome K. Jerome, a famous by Jerome K. Jerome. Mr. Burgess says many clever things in his book, and many others in his book, to discover many commonplace things written in a very uncommon manner. "The most important thing is that one is one of the most contagious of diseases, and few of us are immune. Some vigorously attack once an epidemic begins it is hard work stopping it, and a secret on the ram's-eye secret, then, broadcast, and it have its way until it dies out. But above all never forget the slightest desire to tell, for there, like a seed sown in fertile ground, it will germinate, and gotten it, aye, and bring forth fruit you again. Again: 'Flattery is, however, an edged tool, and must be used with care. It is a glance just how much his victim will stand.' Another author treats of art, science and literature with such a delicate, ironical criticism, and withal, with so much of a glance just how much his victim will stand. --- THE MYSTERY OF MURRAY DAVENPORT The Mystery of Murray Davenport.

The "real" and "true" people seem to have the front of the stage just now. Mr. Todd also shows that it was the influence of Arnoël that led to his fearless correspondence with the British officers he discovered, which induced him not the gross injustice of Congress nor the calamities of paper-general books. His book is an original and unique contribution to revolutionary history. The injustice is noteworthy as the reproduction of an old print representing the burning of the city, it is said his mind wandered, and he was again in America, fighting his battles in wars in arms. In a lucid interval he asked that his Continental uniform of a major, "Vulture," and which he had ever cherished, might be brought and put on him, with the uniform and swathed in Washington had the brave of the brave.

The Negro in Revelation, in History, and in Citizenship. By Rev. J. J. Pipman, Louis. N. D. Thompson Publishing Co. This book is written along original lines. It is a biography of humanity and patriotism. It is well calculated to promote good-feeling and better relations between white and black. The fact is recognized that they are neighbors—that they occupy the same country, and will be treated equally. It has a mutual understanding and a mutual good-will will best serve the interests of both. It is a member of the Afro-American boy with the position of an array of success in life reached by representative Afro-American that will not be denied any applications of every Afro-American man and boy. It will likewise serve to imitate and a universal confession of its craft made by the Afro-American since the emancipation. This achievement is him universal respect and a universal confession of his association of the name of Gen. John B. Gordon, by way of introduction, whose character has admiration and unimaginable character and high purpose of the book. It is a book not only by the Afro-American but by all the revelations will be a source of agreeable astonishment to him. THE ARCHERY OF SAMARA. The Archery of Samara. By Henry Illowz. $1.60.

The Afro-Americans of Chicago and all other good citizens are bitter in the denunciation of the Danville mole, which is very terrible to think that Illinois has been disgraced by two lynchings within two months. Would Disfranchise Mobs. Disfranchisement for all voters know to have participated in a lynching is the remedy suggested by Bishop Abraham Grant of the African Methodist Episcopal church. "If the right of franchise is withheld from the ignorant, how much more necessary is it to withhold it from those who break the most sacred laws of our country," said the bishop yesterday. "For sixty years I have been optimistic regarding the final triumph of law and order, so long as lynching was confined to the south, but since it is becoming prevalent in the northern states it is difficult to say what the harvest, will be." Blames Bartlett. The Rev. A. J. Carey, Quinn chapel —I feel that such utterances from the pulpit as those of the Rev. W. A. Bartlett of the First Congregational church of this city and the Rev. Mr. Elmwood of Wilmington, Del., are largely responsible for the pulpit that prevails in this country. The pulpit has all along been weak in the stand it has taken for the majesty of the law. As Bad As Kishinev. The Rev. G. M. Tillman, St. John's African Methodist Episcopal church—This nation cannot expect to maintain law and order by permitting the perpetration of such acts against a helpless people. It is useless for the United States to cry out against Russia and against the barbarity of Spain when infinitely worse crimes are committed within its borders. A Dastardly Deed. The Rev. A. L. Murray, Bethel African Methodist Episcopal church—It was one of the most dastardly deeds committed in the history of the state. We would not look for anything better in the south, but we are shocked that it should have occurred in this state, whose citizens in the past have sacrificed their lives for the race that now is being lynched. Unfortunate for Illinois. The Rev. J. C. Anderson, Wayman chapel—It is especially unfortunate that the lynching should have occurred in this state. It is hoped that every possible means will be taken by those in authority to see that the law is enforced, rather than punishment should be meted out by an infiltrated Admires the Brave Sheriff. Prof. Herbert L. Willett, University of Chicago—The thing that struck me in the accounts of the lynching was the nerve of the sheriff. In a case that I believe the essential thing is that the sheriff shall maintain his authority even if it is necessary to kill half a dozen people. I would rather down, even for the sake of one criminallow, even for the safe of one criminal, than that all principles of justice and law should be overthrown by an enraged mob. For the sheriff at Danville I have the highest admiration. The example of a few such men as he would do much to discourage mob violence. Lawlessness a Dangerous Thing. Prof. Harry Pratt Judson, University of Chicago—No possible excuse for the violence of the Danville mob can be found. The lawlessness that seems to be on an increase in this country is a dangerous thing; it is impossible to tell where it will stop. A Condition That is Appalling. Judge Philip Stein—The Danville affair was terrible. If we are not careful in this country we will have anarchy and all its horrors upon us. Thinking people see in the growing disrespect of law and order a condition that is appalling. --- bath and finer any other. PER & CO. ERS and M WHOLESALE CO. ST.
