The Appeal

CUT SNAKE IN HALF THEN BUSINESS END BIT PENN SYLVANIA FARMER. William Schley Has Learned Something About Reptiles Which He Thinks He Will Remember—New Antidote for Snake Bites. William Schley of Decatur township, Pennsylvania, has resolved never again to cut a rattlesnake into more than two pieces. An experience which he had a day or two ago has convinced him that he may make two snakes out of one with impunity, but when he gets greedy and tries to make three there is apt to be trouble. Incidentally Mr. Schley has learned that as snake-bite medicine common chickens receive and drinks to whisky—a remedy which heretofore has been regarded as an indispensable adjunct to life in this mountainous region. "It happened up in Sharer's gap," said Mr. Schley. "I started for a mess of huckleberries. After driving up through Bald Eagle valley to the gap I hitched my horse and took my basket from the buggy. It was just a few feet from there that the berries were thick. I was crossing the road to the patch when I saw a big rattler right in front of me. In my time I have killed some big ones, but none that could hold a feather to that fellow. "For a moment I stood admiring him and wondering how I could catch him. He seemed peaceable enough, colled up there in the road, and I could get a crocheted stick in the woods and catch him. I had a hatchet in the buggy and went to get it, thinking to cut a crocheted stick with it "Well, sir, that snake must have been watching me, for the moment I turned my back it made a lunge for the horse's leg. I brought the hatchet down on the rattler and when I lifted it there were two snakes where there had been but one before. I had cut the fellow in two, and yet I hadn't taken the fight out of him. No, sir. He kept right on—that is, the front part of him did—and in another moment he took the hand of the horse. So again my hatchet went down, but he swerved aside and let me have those fangs right in the forefinger of my right hand here. "Well, I tried to shake him off, but he wouldn't shake worth a cent. In my excitement I forgot that I had a horse and buggy so near at hand, but I did remember that Chris Sharer lived about five miles from where I was, and I started over the hill toward his house. I put my foot on the ground and pulled my hand free from his fangs. I ran faster than before until I reached Sharer's home. "My finger had swollen to twice its natural size and my hand was badly swollen. My arm was blue up to the elbow. Sharer at once bound my arm to stop the circulation and then poured whisky into me. "Sharer killed a chicken and split it open. Then he split my finger where the fangs had entered and placed the chicken on our wounds. The chicken on green and yellow, and gradually the swelling in my arm went down and the pain stopped. Mr. Sharer then made a poulce of soap and the white of an egg, and put it on the wound. "This relieved the pain and soon the liquor that I had poured into me sent me to sleep. I remained at Mr. Sharer's house every day and then went home. I was in the arm my arm felt sorg, and I expect it will be some time before I can use a hatchet again." THE CHANCE OF HIS LIFE. Automobilist's Opportunity in Sunday School, Parade T. Suffern Taller, who is one of the most energetic automobilists of the Newport colony, frequently acts as his own chauffer, and invariably drops into the Casino after one of his long spins through the country and relates all its incidents, always concluding by stating that the run was accomplished without accident. Upon one occasion, after he had given his usual detailed account and conclusion, one of his friends spoke up, saying: "Look here, Tommy, you appear to be so much surprised at freedom from accidents that it seems to me your tone of voice indicates a regret that you got through safely without killing anyone." The following day he was back again in his old haunt rehearsing his experience, when the same friend dashed in and in an excited voice exclaimed: "Hurry up, Tommy; get into your automobile quick, there's a Sunday school parade coming up the street, and you've got the chance of your life."-New York Times. Briton's Love for the Sea: One in every thirty-six of the males over 15 years of age in Great Britain is a seaman in the mercantile marine or a fisherman. That by no means represents the proportions of Britons who go to sea in ships. For the current year the total number of officers and men, active service ratings pro- vided by the estimates for the royal navy, is 127,000, being an increase of 4,600 over the previous year. Taking the two totals this means that one in every twenty Britons is a man, which is an enormously larger percentage than any other nation can boast, even with the con- scription which supplies the seamen on the continental coasts. GUIDED BY THEIR SENSES. Plants Are Endowed With a High Degree of Intelligence. Professor Shaler of Harvard university is of the opinion that plants are possessed of intelligence that serves the purpose of self-protection and self-gratification to a very considerable degree. Recently after discussing the automata observed in growing things he said: "We may accept the statement that our higher intelligence is but the illuminated summit of man's nature as true, and extend it by the observation that intelligence is normally unconscious, and appears as conscious only after infancy, in our waking hours, and not always then." In summing up information about intelligence, we look toward the organic world in the manner above suggested, seeing that an unprijudiced view of life affords no warrant for the notion that automata anywhere exist, tracing as we may down to the lowest grade of the animal series what is fair evidence of actions which we have to believe to be guided by some form of intelligence, seeing that there is reason to conclude that plants are derived from the same primitive stock as animals, we are in no condition to say that animals are not primitive stock them. In fact, all that we can discern supports the view that throughout the organic realm the intelligence that finds its finest expression in man is everywhere at work." WESLEY'S ADVICE WAS GOOD. "Get Close to Mother Earth," Said the Great Methodist. In the Times' report of the celebration by Los Angeles Methodists of the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of John Wesley, the following occurs in the description of Bishop Hamilton's speech: "The bishop was eloquent and witty, and told many humorous stories of Wesley and other leading early-day Methodists. He did not spare Wesley by omitting the ludicrous things in his life. He solemnly quoted from the great Methodist's medical book his cure for pulmonary trouble: 'Gig a hole in the ground; lay down on your face and breathe the fresh earth.'" This may have appeared very funny to audiences by possibly the suggestion of the great founder of Methodism not so ludicrous after all. In fact, it is good advice, supposing the soil to be free from impurities. It would do all good if we could occasionally get a little nearer to Mother Earth, both with out feet and our faces.—Los Angeles Times.

A little boy who has recently moved from New York to this city is very much interesting in this state and its history, although he is too young to take up the study at school. He was talking with his father the other evening, his father explained that the state had been named in honor of this early settler, and that Penn square, facing the city hall, had also been named in his honor. A few days after the little boy and his mother were taking a trolley ride, when they passed the state penitentiary. Sa, ma," he asked, as he looked at the massive buildings, "was the penitentiary named after William Penn, too?"—Philadelphia Ledger. Should Boys Fight? Moralists and disciplinarians differ on the question whether boys should be encouraged to rely on fist arguments in cases of dispute. Generally speaking the boy who was never in a fight is not appreciated; for the Christian doctrine of meekness, soft answers and turning the other cheek are in practice "more honored in the breach than in the observance." In spite of this it probably calls for a higher sort of courage to refrain from fighting than it does to fight; and perhaps the most reasonable view to take is that physical fighting may be justifiable in emergencies, such as the defense of conscience or of women or children or country; but not as a studied practice, says the Pathfinder. More than Mis Sharge. Terence, a lusty, good-natured Irishman, was one of a number of workmen employed in erecting a building. The employ of the building, who knew him, said to him one day: "Terry, didn't you tell me once that a brother of yours is a bishop?" "Ya, sir." "And you are a hod-carrier! the good things of this life are not equally divided, are they, Terry?" "No, sor," rejoined Terence, shouldering his hod and starting up the ladder with it. "Poor felly! He couldn't do this to save his loife!"—Youth's Companion Sunken Ships no Longer all Lost LOS ANGELES TO HAVE CONVENTION HALL Proposed Convention Hall for Los Angeles, Cal. Citizens of Los Angeles are planning the erection of a magnificent convention hotel designed to accommodate national gatherings of all descriptions. It is felt that with such a building in which to hold meetings, and the perfect climate of California, there would be a double attraction for all sorts of deliberative bodies. The design pictured above is the one likely to be accepted by the leaders of the movement. Saving from the sea has become almost a science. It includes not only the saving of lives, but the saving of property. The ship that goes down and is heard of no more must sink where it will be beyond all human endeavor, or else the grappling hooks of a salvage company will be reaching down for it. Ultimately the chances are the ship will come to the top again and will be put in dry dock, where repairs will make it seaworthy, and it will set forth to try the perils of the ocean anew. An account of these property saving endeavors is a relation of all that is heroic in sea life. A shipwreck is the preliminary. Then come the salvage companies, with their specially constructed boats, laden with all necessities, from divers to derricks. What the salvage companies are able to do for apparently ruined ships is marvellous. Usually it is the salvage company which undertakes the work for the underwriters. The latter have paid the insurance on their boat, and it is to their interest to recover what they can from the wreck. Ships cannot be raised from great depth. One hundred and eighty feet is considered the utmost death to which a diver can descend, on account of the pressure. At less distances the work can be done without difficulty. For that reason the reclaimed wrecks usually are ships which have struck on rocks near the coast. A typical case of raising a vessel was afforded by the Tina, which struck a rock off the Scotch coast. The boat settled in thirty feet of water. When the attempt to raise it was made four large pontoons were placed at the corners of the ship. Each pair of pontoons was then connected by a rope. The pontoons, tested to bear a strain of 100 to the square inch, were passed under the wreck and fastened to the logs. All necessary then was to wait for the tide to rise and the wreck was floated, the work having been done at low tide. The ship then was towed SINGERS PAY FOR SUCCESS. Extreme Self-Denial Necessary to Preserve the Voice. When a woman makes up her mind to excel as a singer, she must, no matter how greatly endowed by nature, remember that the beauty of her voice depends very largely on her being able to say "no" to herself. For her many of the sweets of life must be nonexistent. The diet of a singer has to be as carefree as she can be, and she must have an athlete in training. Mme. Melba is devoted to sweets, but she never allows herself one; Mme. Norda confesses to sometimes having a perfectly childish craving for an abundant feast of sweets and pastries, yet she denies herself both. Mme. Calve once expressed a longing for a big, rich, hearty workman's dinner, which she might enjoy without thought of consequences or any reminder of the fact that she is a workman. Mme. Patti has sacrificed practically everything to her voice and she says that she owes its preservation to the to a shallow part of the coast, repaired and sent out to sea again. At times a vessel seems too seriously damaged to be repaired after it has been raised or taken from the rocks, but this is seldom the case. The Breckfield's onetel keel was torn away on the rocks, but the vessel was repaired thoroughly in dry dock. The Aberfoyle had an enormous hole in its bow, but was patched up and is now at work again. When Admiral Nelson's flagship, the Foudroyant, stranded near Blackpool pier in 1897 efforts were made to save it, but it was found that the ship had been damaged beyond repair, and there was nothing to do but break it up. The Walter Bibby, a powerful dredger, presented a problem to the salvage companies when it sank in Leith harbor. The boat settled down on a rock when the tide went out and broke its back. For six months it lay there, an immovable mass, on account of the hundreds of tons of dredging gear. Finally the keel was broken by a discharge of dynamite, as the first step towards reclaiming the vessel. Then the boat was broken into two sections and the open ends were closed with bulkheads. The water was pumped out and the sections came to the surface. The afterpart, being the more heavily laden, was the hardest with which to deal. Six times the water was let in and the section resunk before a balance sufficiently even could be maintained to insure it against turning over. The boat had been insured for $75,000, and it cost $25,000 to get the wreck up. Sometimes a vessel will be grounded in such a manner that, although the hull may be comparatively uninjured, it will be necessary to break it up to recover anything. Such a vessel, the Hesketh, was sold for $2,000. It lay to all seeming undamaged to any serious extent by the disaster, but so beached that it not be got by it, or anything that it got, but sell the ship for scrap iron, old copper, and timber. The story of the Danmark is thrill-fact that she never for one moment forgets she is a singer. That this is often inconvenient she frankly owns. "But," she says, "it is a penalty I have to pay for a great gift." Repartee in Debate Here is an anecdote from a London newspaper: "There was an interchange of personalities at a passive resistance meeting in a southern suburb the other evening. An opponent of the movement persisted in interrupting the speakers, till one at last vowed that supporters of the government would soon have to eat 'umble-pie', 'At any rate', said the interpreter, 'we'll learn to pronounce it first. I call it humble-pie. No doubt you do,' retorted the passive resister, and therein you make an exasperating and aspirated mistake. 'I call it humble-pie because we were entrals, the inferior chitlings, so to speak, of the animal. And that's quite good enough fare for you and your party.' He was not interrupted again." illustration of the saving of lives at sea. In this case the property loss was total. The accident which disabled the Danmark took place 130 miles from land. The vessel, from Copenhagen, carrying emigrants from Denmark to the United States, had broken one of the main shafts which in whirling around before the power could be shut off, had torn a great hole in the bottom. The boat was leaking and filling rapidly. Signals of distress were flown and finally assistance was sighted. The Missouri, carrying a cargo of cattle, cement, rags, skins, etc., was sighted. Capt. Murrill of the latter vessel was making operations to a significant ship by taking the liner in tow, but when he was informed as to the seriousness of the situation he understood that the only thing which could be done, would be to get the passengers off as rapidly as possible. It was a serious problem. The Danmark was carrying 700 persons. The Missouri had accommodations for 20. He had provisions for only forty men for three weeks. There was nothing much which could be done aside from that which the Missouri's captain did. He gave orders to throw the cargo of the Missouri overboard. All the cargo carried between decks was lifted into the sea. On board the Danmark were twenty-one babies. Capt. Murrill gave orders that these should be brought aboard first. The two boats lay a quarter of a mile apart between the babies. He safety to the side of the Missouri. Then there was the problem of getting them safely on board. This was accomplished by swinging coal baskets over the side and thus bringing the children and babies up. The next boat loads were of women and all were safely brought over the side of the Missouri. Then came the men and the crew and officers. Shortly after the last boat load had been transferred the Dannmark gave a lurch and went to the bottom. Plague of Rats in Edinburgh. A Pied Piper of Hamelin is badly needed in Edinburgh by the Prince street hotelkeepers. Just now they are pestered by an invasion of battalions of rats swarming from an ivy-clad bank in the garden and decorative purposes by the corporation. In this secure retreat the rats pass the day, issuing forth at night time and finding their way to the hotels across the street by means of old drains. So bold are the invaders that some have been seen climbing up the water pipes on the hotel fronts and entering the open windows. Every device known to rat catchers has been employed for their extirpation, but in vain. The latest agent introduced to carry on the battle is the mongoose, of which large numbers have been imported by the distressed hotel managers. Foreigners Get the Money. In the last year the United States has paid in ocean freights to foreign ships $250,000,000. how the Transport Sherman Was Cleared of 950,000 Rodents. When the United States military transport Sherman arrived at Manila recently she was, as is the case with most other ships that arrive from on touch at Hong Kong on the way to Manila, detained for inspection to see if she had any rats on board. When the big transport dropped anchor in Manila bay, therefore, the official rat inspector went on board to see what was doing in the way of rodents. In less than fifteen minutes he hurriedly reported that there was on board the Sherman, according to the patent rat enumerator in use at Manila, no fewer than 950,000 rats. The Sherman was immediately ordered to the quarantine station at Mariveles, as no ship on which the disease carrying rodents are found is allowed to dock at Manila until they are exterminated. Accordingly the Sherman steamed back to Mariveles. When she arrived there her hatches had been opened up and enough sulphur parured below to kill millions of rats. As soon as the anchor was dropped the sulphur fires were started in the hold, and in a few minutes the work of the fumes became apparent. Out of the hatches there poured such a stream of rats as was never before seen in the Orient. First by the hundreds, and then by the thou rands, they appeared at the hatches, and then leaped into the water. Every one tried to swim ashore, but the distance was far too great for any rat to swim, and soon the great black line of paddling rodents began to thin out. Some of them reached the ship, but none got any farther. After the fumes had been working for about an hour the rats stopped appearing. An inspection of the ship was made and not a rat discovered. The Sherman then reentered 'Manila and discharged her cargo-'Manila American. HE SMASHED LIKE MOSES. Ohio Mayor Willing to Break a Few Laws to Defeat the Coal Trust. While the price of coal was soaring during the dead of last winter Mayor Bellmeyer of Bellevue, Ohio, took vigorous methods to relieve the situation. With the consent of the councils he had a riot call sounded on the fire bell. There was an immediate response of citizens. From these a brigade of shovelers was organized and marched to the railroad. Six car loads of coal were ordered confiscated by the mayor. The needy people were, then relieved by the coal distribution, which was made in ton lots. This action naturally brought monstrousances from certain sensitive citizens, but remained unheeded by the determined mayor. "It is wrong, sir, entirely wrong, to thus take the law into your own hands," said a remonstrant. "But I have a biblical example for my action," protested Billmeyer. "No; for taking the law in my own hands," said the mayor. "You recollect that when Moses came down the mountain he smashed the ten com mandments on seeing the people knee before the golden calf. Well, sir, the mountain was a sacred calf, but I'll smash a few laws while they are doing it."

Southeastern Virginia is scarred with deep ditches that give the farmers great trouble. Last spring a poor farmer lost his wife and only horse just as the plowing season opened. Denied to him have his fields in readiness, he harnessed himself to a light horse to plow his gravel farm. All went well for a dozen or so of furrows, but just as he prepared for a trip through the turnip beds he slipped and went down into the mire at the twelve-foot bottom of one of the ditches. Scrambling out, wet, muddy and angry, he was in no mood to answer properly his daughter's gentle inquiry. "No, hope you not hurt, father!" "No, hope you not hurt," he spluttered; "but it 'twant' your fault I wasn't killed! Why don't you attend to your work! Why the devil didn't you say 'Whoa?' The threads of silk made from wood in Germany have eighteen strands, a single one of which is hardly visible. Real silk is two thirds stronger. $2.40 PER YEAR. TREASURES WORTH FORTUNES TO THE FINDERS. Many Precious Objects for Which Governments and Private Collectors Would Pay Vast Amounts—Some Probably Lost Forever. The greatest treasure in sculpture the world has ever known is imperfect, and the place missing—a right arm—would bring the finder in a king's ransom, so may be termed a treasure in itself. This arm, of course, belongs to the Venus de Milo now in the Louvre, Paris, and twenty-eight years ago it turned up in England, and was proved by experts to be the general weapon, refused to part with it, and concealed it somewhere lest it should be stolen by thieves. When he died he left no record as to where the arm was hidden, and from that day to this its resting-place has remained a mystery. Somewhere there is an old bronze drinking-cup which would easily realize $100,000 if put on the market. It is the famous bronze bowl·found in Egypt a century and a half ago, on which was engraved the ancient history of the Pharaohs. It was stolen from an Egyptian temple in 1739 and taken to Europe. From that time it miraculously disappeared, and forty years later the French government offered $14,000 for its discovery, but the famous cup had vanished, in all probability for ever. Great pictures have an unhappy knack of disappearing, and lucky would be the individual who came across Sir Joshua Reynold's "Countess of Derby," for it would realize $150,000. This was acknowledged to be Reynold's greatest portrait, but not long after it was painted it disappeared from the Earl of Derby's collection and has never since been heard of. There are also two Vandykes and a Rembrandt missing for which the British National Gallery would willingly pay $200,000, and no doubt the Earl of Crewe would give a big reward to any one who returned the Cupid cut by some vandal from the picture of a former Countess of Crewe and her son, who was painted as the little sprite. Half a century ago the Italian government offered $50,000 to any one who would rediscover the Florentine chalice. This is a goblet of green Venetian glass, made in the sixteenth century for the Pope and engraved with a picture of the Resurrection. Its manufacture is said to have occupied two years, and the secret of the glass, which was thinner than paper, is lost. The cup was stolen from the Vatican; but no one came forward to claim the offered reward, and the glass was that the cup has been smashed. A similar treasure, which vanished in an equally strange manner, was the Marsella vase of Dresden china. It is the only piece of china missing from the famous Marsella collection, the value of which is set down at $75,000, and it bears upon it the cross arrows and a lion's head. Probably in a lumber room in some part of Britain there is an old sword which, if the owner only knew it, is worth about $10,000. It was the state sword presented by the nation to Edward III., and at one time, the hilt was studded with large rubles, but these disappeared long before the sword allowed them into obscurity some years later. One of the British national museums would purchase the sword for the sum mentioned, while it is not unlikely that in a public auction room the bidding would rise even higher. KITTEN HAD NO FAVORITES Wall Street Brokers Had to Call Their Bets Off. Life is not all stocks and bonds and margins down in Wall street. The other day a reporter opened the door of a prominent broker's office, and was startled to behold three brokers and two clerks on their knees on the floor around a small but self-possessed kitten. The kitten was sitting with her tail colled around her front feet, paying not the slightest attention to any of them, while two of the brokers purred irritantly, the clerks mowed, and the third broker fixed her with a steegey glance. As the reporter paused in the doorway and gazed in amazement, the Karen arose languely and made her way between two of the brokers over the river to waste a basket, where she began playing with a die of paper. Then explanations were forthcoming. "We found her outside" one of the brokers volunteered, "and got her some milk and brought her here. We were betting on whom she would go to. The conditions that we could make any noise we wanted to, but we were not allowed to move or call her. The bets are he added, regrettely—New York's Chess for the Blind. It one day occurred to Prof. C.berg that, considering how often chess is played blindfolded, there ought to be no difficulty in teaching the game to the really blind. He communicated his idea to M. De la Zeranne, who took it up with enthusiasm, with the result that at the Vallentin hind Association headquarters there has been inaugurated a special chess class for the blind. The boards are infused with chess pieces and the set of pieces is rounded at the top, while the other is pointed. Charitable individuals and the National Institute for the Blind are interesting themselves in the subject.

Address, THE APPEAL, 49 East 4th St., St. Paul, Minn "We ask Thou, Lord, that Thou wilt raise up a man who will survive damnable abuse that this is a man there is no place here for the black man. Raiser up some mother's mother's knee, to the task of removing a man from not from the shackles of iron, dice, and save the black race from hatred, save the white man from his degradation, and lift him up in fellow can learn to live God's own image." —Bishop of New York. Prayer by Rev. Newell Dwight Mills, pastor of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, New York. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1903 Every one who expresses himself in opposition to mob law declares it anarchy and anarchy is one of the worst things in this world, judging from "The Little Catechism," which is published in Chicago, and is being taught to over 12,000 anarchist children of Illinois and Iowa. "The Little Catechism" says: "God is a word used to designate an imaginary being which people have of themselves devised." "Christianity is not advantageous to us, but is harmful because it makes us spiritual cripples, it is the greatest obstacle to the progress of mankind, and therefore it is the duty of every citizen to help wipe out Christianity. All churches are impudent humbugs." "Adultery is not a sin because inter- course with opposite sex is natural." The catechism concludes with these words: "In brief review of our catechism, there is no God, no saints, no angels, no devil, no heaven, no hell, no virtue in prayer—all these things are mere deceptions of the preachers. Christianity has no truth in it, being only a deception and founded by fanatics." It might be well to add that there are no Afro-Americans who are anarchists. The approval of the humane, right-thinking people of this country will be heartily accorded to Gov. Jelks of Alabama, of the stand he has taken in regard to peonage in his state as evidenced by his message to the legislature. He said: "In at least one locality in Alabama several farmers have been working men and women under guard without legal authority to do so. One or more of these offenders have been simmers for a dozen years. They have acted without the shadow of right and have been plain violators of the state laws. The offense has been notorious in the community and these criminals long since should have been inmates of the penitentiary. "That good people surrounding them allow a persistence in this evil doing has focused on the whole state the action of malevolent critics. These farmer contractors had helpers in complaint justices and constables. The latter were more guilty than the principals. They basely betrayed a solemn trust." In conclusion the governor expressed gratification that the offenders had been brought to justice. The Department of Commerce and Labor has just issued an interesting and exhaustive social study on "The Afro-Americans of Xenia, Ohio." It is published in Bulletin No. 48, September, 1903. In Greene county there are 2,754 Caucasians and 4,055 Afro-Americans. The Afro-Americans are engaged in more than 50 different occupations, and conduct 75 businesses, and 322 Afro-American property owners hold property valued at $236,534. At Wilberforce, three miles distant, out of a population of 161 permanent residents, 37 own property, valued at $40,532. And now it is proposed to have separate street cars in the city of Houston, Texas, and the Chronicle of that city comes out in an editorial saying that the separation is in the interest of the Afro-American. Very solicitous are these Southern Caucasians about the interests of the Afro-American! The Caucasians of Texas are praying God to deliver them from the depredations of the boll weevil.

Caucasian Civilization In a lecture on "Race Pedagogy," the other day a well-known sociologist, Dr. Stanley Hall, had the courage, which most of use have lacked, to say that the race is a cultural phenomenon in calamity to the savage. He instances "the peaceful Indians of the Canadian northwest, the Tasmanians, the Samoyards of Siberia, the Papuans, the natives of Madagascar, of Nicaragua, of Haiti, of Guatemala, with a wealth of tribal tradition and with institutions of a high order, who have nearly or quite perished from contact with the white race." Dr. Hall says, "The touch of white civilization is a doom and a curse to primitive peoples. Diseases harmless to whites are deadly to these dark skinned races; the vices of civilization are far more destructive to them. Our intercourse with Africa has resulted in an unmitigated cursus to its people." This is a heresy against the assumption of misguided philanthropists that the whole world needs the white man's civilization. Thus the philanthropist and the fanatic unwittingly become partners with demagogues in the crime of the human race, the citizens of the human race as noble as any God ever created with white skins. We endeavor to force on tribal peoples our social system, our religion, and our whisky, and, in the name of humanity, demand that they swallow them all. The whisky is generally accepted, but the races are doomed to disappear as identities before the white man's blessings. We ought to cease conquering cease robbing, cease trying to civilize savages in a day—Chicago Journal. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. SOCIAL LIFE IN THE EARLY REPUBLIC.

"The desire to tell secrets," writes the author. In discussing the landed gentry of the southern states she wrestled with nothing but the hardships of Southern settler more clearly shown than in his love for field sports. A Maryland lawyer who had horses that seemed almost tireless, and with dogs like the horses, they sometimes took to the streets in an insula from the Chessapeake to the Atlantic. The return journey and the stops at hospital mansions on the coast took her to the south of the continent and the whole expedition sometimes lasted in a chapter on "Jeffersonian Simplicity" she writes the following story: "She must have made a mental reservation she must have made a mental reservation she was a great favorite. Indeed it was in consequence of Mr. Jefferson's having a state dinner that he aroused the animosity of the British minister. Anthony Thomas Jefferson seems to have occupied Mr. Jefferson's thoughts very considerably at this time, and this has defended republicanism, he quite seriously offended a number of people." The author writes interesting chapters on the history of the interests of the early inhabitants of the Americas. ```markdown ``` THE TRUE ABRAHAM LINCOLN. The True Abraham Lincoln. By William Eleroy Curtis, author of The True Thomas Jefferson. Crown 8vo. Cloth, decorated; net, $2. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott Company. There are a few rare characters in history, the record of whose lives grow in interest with each succeeding generation, and which gleam brighter as time passes, instead of fading with the general wreck of men and things, by which they were envisioned. These characters are unique and originate from the most important of which is their self dedication to the crude posts of civilization, and may be named as, Christ, John, or John the Lord, the latter that William Ebery Curtis has written under the title, "The True Abra- Mr. Curtis, however, writes in a natural way that he will not fail to remind us that Mr. Lincoln was a man of great integrity. These faults, however, serve as a striking contrast to the sublimity of his charisma, and he has been attained before his assassination. The illustrations are profuse and some are highly detailed, published biography of the Great Emmanuel's life. The leader of the Springfield Bar. "is full of interest, as the author traces his intellectual development, from that of the average ploner, upward and downward, to the striking power and force as to easily surpass in the logical presentation of his life, and trained in institutions, of high education. "The occasion upon which Lincoln displayed his prowisely or an orator was the organization of the Republican party early in 1861, when he unanimously electrified by human speech . . . Convention, which was composed of former members of the Republican party, parted into three groups. The first group took extreme grounds against slavery; and has launched a new political organization, envious and hostile elements. Those who had watched the proceedings were called political perceptions, realized the danger, and sequestered, and Lincoln, with his acute political perceptions, realized the danger, and undertook Titanic tasks, but at the same time most of them clung to their political perceptions, responded to individual methods with a tenacity that promised to defeat their common purpose. The unanimous demand for a speech to the unanimous demand for a speech to harmonize and amalgamate the pro-territorial emotions of his associates. That at first be spoke slowly, cautiously, and in a monotone, but gradually his words were discordant souls of the assembly together and his hearers 'arose from their chairs and pressed unconscious lowering lips and pressed unconscious lowering lips." His influence was irresistible. THE REAL BENEDICT ARNOLD. The Real Benedict Arnold. By Charles Burry. Cod, author. The Real Aaron Burry. Cloth, illustrated. $12.99. New York: A. S. Barnes & Co. The "real" and "true" people seem to have the front of the stage just now. It is unpleased to be prevailed in many quarters that Benedict Arnold has not been fairly treated, that his services to his country were ignored and his great built was not ever彬彬彬彬的. He has been unquestionably punished. Trenchery to one's country far surpasses the other great treachery to one's friend and is not to be condomed in any wise. There is no good one's good one's own service which explains the deed and modify the bitter condemnation. While not condoning Arnold's treason. Mr. W. J. A. was causing his invaluable services to America, and shows conclusively that he four times saved the cause of the Colonies; first at the battle of Valcour's Iacopou, the first of the first of the first battle, by the way, in which our arms were engaged, where, by his desperate valor, he gave the British such wholesome respect to the men and the wholes of the world that year, secondly, by raising the siege of Fort Stanwix in the Mohawk Valley and putting the war into the sea, and the preaching to old Burgoyne, and third and fourth by winning the two battles of Saratoga, which conjoined. Creasey included as one the fifteen decim化的 of the world. Mr. Todd also shows that it was the influence of Arnold's wife and his fear of losing her should be less than the cost of the service of the British office to be discovered, which induced Arnold's to be tray his country, and not the gross injustice of Congress nor the calamities of people. The thes of the unique contribution to revolutionary history. The illustrations are interesting and instructive; especially noteworthy is the reproduction of an old print repre- At death drew near, it is said his mind wandered, and he was again in America, fighting the battles with Washington and them in the war. He asked the heir he asked that his Continental uniform of a minor-general, in which he had been a captain. He had ever cherished, had ever cherished, might be brought and put on him, with the epipathe and sword- ing of Washington had given him on the bravest. "Let me die in my old American uncle. I fought him. I fought my battles. God forgive me," he added, "for ever putting on any other." THE STORY OF THE SLAVE. Slavery and Servitude in New Jersey, by Alfred M. Heston Member of the Committee on the People of the United States, N. F. Simpson, Chaps & Cows. This monograph is a recital of slavery in the Americas long before 1619, and the story is a story of slavery. The fact is brought out that slavery existed in America long before 1619, and that slavery was a cargo of human freight to Jamestown. The Artees in Mexico enslaved not only slaves but also enslaved nation who were convicted of theft and other crimes. African slavery was the first form of slavery, and that is the earliest recorded instance of ownership of African slaves. Many of the slaves who can slave trade. There is a record of one good old elder, whose ventures on the land were to be followed by those who returned that day on the Sunday following the arrival of a slave into the land. Providence has been pleased to bring to this land of freedom another cargo of slaves. You can enjoy the blessings of gospel dispensation. Perth Amboy was New Jersey's chief port of entry, and blacks were to be seen there in goodly numbers, many of them freshly imported and still bearing their real marks. Adults sold from $20 to $50. The system of which was a daft known as redemptive servitude, existed throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This form of bondage was usually voluntary, and at the expiration of the term the redemptioners were not the most of which population without any special, a taint of servitude. The importation into the colony of Negro slaves, who were found to be cheaper than white servants, checked in a measure, was made in redemptions. Many white convicts were shipped to New Jersey from the port of the shands, and were merged into the mass of the population. An act providing for the gradual abolition of slavery was passed by the New Jersey legislature in 1804. A further act in 1820 and still later another amendment of which was also permitted, the emancipation of slave clans, there were but 18 in the entire state when Lincoln's proclamation was issued. In 1850, Hon. Garret A. Hobart, at that time a member of the state senate, introduced and, in part, passed a bill which removed the state state tax on the last vestige of slavery in New Jersey. The little book contains much valuable information. SALLY WISTER'S JOURNAL Sally Wister's Journal.

Thompson Publishing Co. This book is written along original lines, it is written in the spirit of the broadest range of experiences cultivated to promote good-feeling and connected between elites and black. The fact is recognized that they are neighbors—that occupy it for generations to come—that a mutual understanding and a mutual good-friendship will impress it. It will impress the Afro-American man and the Afro-American boy with the positive array of success in life reached by resentative Afro-Americans that will not be missed in life. It will inspire aspirations of every Afro-American man and boy. It will likewise serve to imitate the aspirations made by the Afro-American since the emancipation. This achievement is a testament to the strength of the Afro-American and a universal confidence in his future. It is written from the standpoint of the Caucasian, and is an association of the name of Gen. John B. Gordon, by way of introduction, whose United States senator, as a distinguished United States senator, as a distinguished versal regard, is a guarantee of the great character, and high purpose of the book. It is American but for the Caucasian. Its American but for the Caucasian. Its American but for the Caucasian. ROMANCE OF THE COMMONPLACE BY GLEEFT Commonspace by Gleetet Ll.68 Paul Elder and Morem Philosophy and philosophy which ranks in that class of essays made famous by Jerome J. Jerome. Mr. Burkert and one may glance at any chapter and one may glance at the title. In ten it a very uncommon manned. "The desire to tell secrets." writes the author, and few of us are immune. Some vigorous moral constitutions never succumb. Our work stopping it, and a secret on the rampage is well nigh irresistible. Tell your friend that it will not wait until it die out. But above all never come to her who asserts she never has a seed sowed in fertile ground, it will gerrymandering it, and gotten it, aye, and bring forth fruit you never planted." It is, however, an edged tool, and must be used with care. It is not everyone who has the tact to decide to just how much his victim will stand." We treat his science and literature with a delicate criticism, and withal, with much of our mutual interest. The Worth of Words. By Dr. Ralc H. McCormick. New York: The Gratton Press. $1.90. New York: The Gratton Press. In the introduction Dr. William Colby Cormick, a professor of the blood of language, and upon cries in the blood of language, and upon the mighty importance of words. Is it less than sacrilegious to mistreat them? Is it less than a mere excuse to gague, it follows that the smaller one's more anemic will be his braining children. Dr. Bell is a poet and understands the value of words as only the few do, and in producing this work he has merely justified his natural fitness in this line. Soraie persons are correct as to grammar, and the retoric. A wrong use of the preposition or verb may be quite offensive to the trained grammarian, the improper application of a figure of speech offends the accomplished taste. There was a grocer who was very accurate in his grammar, and he wanted his customers to use proper language, and took some trouble to instruct them. One day a customer called an呈写to him: "What's every today?" The reply was "Eggs are eggs." "Darn glad to hear it, the last I got here were more than half chickens." In "The Worth of Words" Dr. Bell at a tacks misused words, vulgarisms, everyday errors and slang in a concise but clear manner, and many errors of speech which are often made by persons of intelligence may be corrected by a careful study of the book.

They are the other and all hating the police and the army," sentiments form the undercurrent of the book and are in strange contradiction to what has been written of late rebellion against the Jews, which cannot be adopted. They are in keeping, however, with the latest newspaper accounts of the persecution of the Jews, which cannot be timely contribution to current literature. THE MILLIONAIRE'S SON.

The book is a brilliant satire with the higher claims in America. It is, however, a book with remarkable skill and concentration.

She is a teacher who reaches to reach the level of genius. "The Last Indian" possesses considerable dramatic power.

The author then recounts the end of Oconeeona, the last of the race, and reminds the memory much of certain Hawkins. "The Youth at the Fountain" is one of the poems which approach mastery of form and technique: "In the sunny gleam of the fountain the water lilies put leaves.

You will begin a week's engagement at the Grand Opera House next Sunday day, is a melodrama of heart interest that grips you at the curtain and grips you hard.

Through all her misfortune the strong guiding hand of a strong man's struggle is present. The struggle. The characters are taken from the life around us and it deals in a bold way with the dangers of a great city that may entrap a daughter or a sister.

A neatly dressed Afro-American, carrying a travelling bag, was making his way, Wednesday, from one of the down-town offices in New York toward the Bridge. When in front of the American Tract Society Building two white men passed him in the foot, the other robbed him, left out his foot and tripped the man, while the other grabbed his watch and passed it to the confederate. The latter made his escape, but the victim of the robbery recovered himself and knocked the other robber down in good manly hands. He was not waiting without waiting to learn the merits of the situation, promptly assumed that the black man was the aggressor, and pounced upon him with shouts of "Kill the nigger." He was receiving very harsh usage, in spite of his attempts to avoid the nigger, and lively use of the club broke up the mob. The Afro-American made his charge against the thief, but, as the watch was not found on him, he was permitted to go free, while the innocent victim had to take himself off under police protection. This is that he was a new member of the crowd, an Afro-American who is going along and attending to his own business has no right to protect himself against the attacks of white thugs, and if he assumes that the he runs the risk of not only living matriarchal life but the metropolis of the "most enlightened country in the world," and in front of the building of the American Tract Society.

MINNEAPOLIS. DOINGS IN AND ABOUT THE GREAT "FLOUR CITY." Oxygen is Life's Necessity. Without Oxygen man dies, but when the blood is well fed with oxygen man lives in the full enjoyment of health. Life should be a constant physical revolution. Oxygen is a feeder of living tissues. Oxygen and sickness arise from lack of vitality, which is due to lack of oxygen in the blood. DYDONXON animates and thus reverses this degeneration, opens the way for the whole organism to drink freely of oxygen, through the pores of the skin and membranes, and sets in operation an energizing, irresistible, vital force, which speedily overcomes the obstacles of life. It cures when you rest, and its results are equally efficacious for the nfant and grandmother. The following testimonial, one of Established 1882. Seventh and Robert Sts.

Wilson: I take great pleasure in notifying you that I have given the Oxydonor a thorough test history when my wife was sick with La Gripe, Bronchitis, and a touch of Pneumonia. It was a severe attack, accompanied by high fever, and I must confess that I had some doubts about the outcome. But to my surprise the Oxydonor worked like magic; I had to use it in ice for the fever, and I did not have the disease. Applying the Oxydonor two more nights perfected the cure.

A "never-failing remedy" for nervous headache is described by a scientific authority thus: it consists simply of the act of walking backward, but the method of walking is an important factor in the cure. The pace should be very slow, letting the ball of the foot touch the floor first, then the heel. A hall or narrow room serves by limiting the curse, by limiting the curse is that the reflex action of the body brings about a reflex action of the brain; thus the pain induced by nervousness, which is said to be the result of too much going forward, is driven away by a simple process of reversal.

America has been debating the question as to the right or wrong of murder. Judge-Brewer is right in calling lynching murder.
