Frank M. Bristol, pastor of the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal church, Washington, D. C., delivered an impassioned sermon on "The Race Problem" Sunday evening. For over an hour he held the attention of a large congregation while he depicted sense and the nonsense of self-sufficiency and the prejuvenility against the Afro-American." He asserted that the lynching of the Afro-American is depriving him of the great rights of the Magna Charta, the right to trial by jury and the rights of the habeas corpus. He intimated that the Afro-American is used to prevent the repeal of the fifteenth amendment. Dr. Bristol found the text for his address in Acts, xvii: 25-26, "He giveth to all life and breath and all things, and bath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth." "Race prejudice is as old as history," he said; "senseless as any wrong, and unrighteous as any crime. It originated in international customs, and grew with the formation of laws. Race prejudice is the rankest ment of pride in society. Out of the prejudice of caste in society and aristocratic forms of government. Race prejudice has been the great problem that has confronted all ages, and has been the chief obstacle to moral, mental, and industrial progress. Crimes, lynchings, have obstructed it, and yet governments of states, inconsistent of prejudice have winked at these same crimes. The prejudice against the Jew is not religious, intellectual, or moral, but purely racial. In America the prejudice between the white man and the Afro-American has beenceived in pride, secrecy, and inhumanity contrary to the prin- "No one can claim that the prejudice is due to the lower moral nature of the Afro-American, for there are no der equatorial circumstances, or greater development in such a short space of time than the Afro-American within the last forty years.

We must consider the difference between the advantages enjoyed by the whites and the Afro-American. We should then White.

Special to Atlanta Rome, Ga. — John Riley has been charged in jail here, charged with criminal assault on Eliza Turner, the 8-year-old child of respectable Afro American people. The details of the crime are shocking in the extreme. The crime was common before he had to have beat a girl into insensibility.

The Afro-American's teachers have been white. It was just as bad for the white man to steal from his people, from his country two centuries ago as it is for the Afro-American to steal a chicken to-day. If you wish to know who taught the Afro-American licentiousness, you have only to look into the faces of the thousands of mulatto people and get your answer. The acidity based on color. The majority of the human race are colored. Two-thirds of the population of the world are not white, and scientists have agreed that the first man was not white. The great gulers of the East, upon whose works and institutions our present civilization is founded, were colored white, were colored Father, it then, God is the white, the black, and the yellow man's Father, we are all brethren. White Man was Once a Slave. "In some cases the prejudice is due to the fact that the Afro-American was once a slave. If this was the case, the Afro-American a slave, has more to atone for than the black man. Moreover, the white man was a slave long before the black man was. The Jews held white men slaves, as did the Greeks. The Romans held the Germans as slaves. The Jews were introduced in this country by men who held it contemptible to work. Yet these persons were hounded out of England for debt. They desired to have others do the work that they should reap the profit, and yet for the reason that the slaves did not have a latter beheaded beneath their masters." Dr. Bristol insisted that Jefferson, in writing the Declaration of Independence, meant that both white and black should be equal before God. He said that he could not countenance the movement to deprive the Afro-American a slave rights under the fifteenth amendment. "Furthermore, by lynchings, the American people are depriving the Afro-American of the great rights of Magna Charta," he said, "the right to be bury by jury and to wilt of habeas corpus." Dr. Bristol concluded with the statement that if any attempt is made to rescind the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution, the Afro-American will be justified in taking up a gun. Ridge; F. G.

Milwaukee, Oct. 12.—Pastor Fenwick of the African M. E. church has been found to be a white man, and accordingly some of the brethren are drawn to replace him by an Afro-American. The story came out during trial of J. W. Bess, a member of the church, who was charged by Pastor Fenwick with robbing his residence. The prescriber himself was an Afro-American, "I'm a gentleman," but later admitted his Caucasian descent. Mr. Fenwick says he never claimed to be anything but a white man, in spite of the fact that he passed as an Afro-American. He was drawn to Kickin' Iowa, in 1884, being drawn to the work through a desire to help the Afro-American people. At that time he claims to have a lucrative practice as a physician and displayed his diplomas. He does not intend to take the job. The little group of malecontents "will have a lively time in driving him out." M. Plehve, the Russian statesman, declares that self-government was restricted in Finland "for the people's good." That has a familiar sound. All of the crimes against the Afro-American in this country have been perpetrated to Southern testimony "for the people's good." John Aggerhuis of 53 Boston street, Chicago, told the Chicago police a great story of how the assasinated Afro-Americans in South Chicago, but the coroner's jury which investigated the case found that death came from natural causes. Another lie nailed. Hon. J. W. Lyons, Register of the Treasury, is making campaign speeches in Ohio. THE APPEAL. How Fashion is Exterminating Reptiles. The Gila monster. west they grow to enormous length San Antonio, Tex., has long been market for the skin of the rattlesnake Demands of conventional fashion are about to exterminate the whole family of lizards in the United States and to make deep inroads upon serpents of many kinds. Gator has been hated and hunted and despised; but after it was discovered that the hide of the creature was worthy of a place in the economy civilization, and after the adaptability Beginning with the dainty little chameleon, held by the tiny gilded chain that is the mark of his captivity, up to the handbag made of the skin of the diamond back rattlesnake, and carried at the wrist of the woman shopping, it looks as if the reptilian family of the twentieth century is doomed. Even to the scientist and the economist some of the representatives of these creeping and crawling things of the earth pass into oblivion without regret; to the masses, even, there are others that will be missed because of their colorful skin, their vivid colors, and their disposition to live their lives in those waste places where so few other things of life are to be found. The passing of the alligator from the rivers and swamps of the south seems to be more surely and quickly certain than does the extinction of others of the lizard tribe. Years ago he was the despised and feared of all the reptiles that came to the view of the negro in the southern swamps. The horrible water moccasin was nothing to the southern darky as compared to the alligator, even though death from the snake might come the quicker and the reptile be lying ten to one in numbers among the logs and in the mud of the sluggish streams and bayous. The 'gator always was the armored evil one to the darky, but the southern white man, hunting in the same swampland for deer and bear found the eye of the alligator an excellent target for his rifle, and in the tooth of the saurian a beautifully adapted charger for measuring the gunpowder behind the ball in his muzzle-loading gun. Thus through all the years the alli- CHANGE FOR THE BETTER. Secretary Shaw's Satire at Expense of Government Official. Although Secretary Shaw is a man of diplomacy he enjoys loosening an occasional shaft of satire. An official who takes great pride in his dress but who, in spite of elaborate toilets, not conspicuous for his beauty, recently attempted to grow whiskers. Evidently his effort updosed domestic objection, for few days ago, after three months of assiduous cultivation the shock but somewhat reluctant growth of beard, he appeared clean shaven again, explaining to his colleagues that it was his wife's birthday and that in her honor he had removed what she had bewailed as an unnecessary disgust. Forthwith he showed himself to Secretary Shaw, craving commendation. "Yes, I congratulate you," said the secretary, "for you case reminds me of the good wife who, venturing on a change in wearing her hair, tintily her husband if he thought it unbecoming. "Bless you, no!' he exclaimed, trying his best to be complimentary; 'any change would be an improvement in you." — Philadelphia Post. Wiping Out Accounts. Dr. Morris Bailey of Titusville, Penn, lately celebrated his eighty-fifth birthday, and especially marked the day by erasing from his books accounts extending over half a century and aggregating about $42,000. He still has some $10,000 "hard to collect" accounts, and may some day settle these on the same day. But paying patients have supplied him with a competency. gator has been hated and hunted and despised; but after it was discovered that the hide of the creature was worthy of a place in the economy of civilization, and after the adaptability of its skin was shown in artistic handbags, valises and suit cases, alligator hunting became a business and it has continued a business until already the alligator is becoming extinct. Nearly 5,000,000 skins of these creatures were taken in Florida between the years 1880 and 1894, and even now in some sections of the state a pot hunter may bring in a score of skins from a night's hunt. But gradually these skins are becoming smaller and fewer. A skin that is two feet long must have come from an animal that was at least 15 years old, while one that is twelve feet long is supposed to have come from a saurian seventy-five years after it first broke the shell of the mother egg. It is believed now that the alligator is one of the longest lived of all creatures, not excepting the elephant, and it seems that the creature grows from the time of its hatching to the end of its life. A big alligator for museum purposes may be worth $20; alive, for a menagerie, he may bring his captor double this amount of money. But for the skin of the ordinaryigator he may about 75 cents. Recently baby alligators have come into demand as and in the taking of them, hunters have dug up the nests of the creatures and have put the eggs into incubators of hot sand, thus insuring the market supply, but making the fate of the saurian more certain. As soon as the alligator has broken the shell it is killed and mounted. In the rattlesnake of the several varieties the skin of the diamond back is most valuable, and likewise this skin is used in the manufacture of the desert regions of the great south. Tells of His Slavish Regard for the Cigarette. "Though enormously rich, Labouche enjoys few of the ordinary pleasures that are supposed to go with riches," writes T. P. O'Connor. "He eats the simplest fare; he never touches wine except when he is bullied into taking a glass or two, claret by me instead, and then he asks, as though it were medicine. He has two weaknesses. One is his love of cigarette smoking, the other a mania for changing houses and redecoration and rebuilding. He is rarely without a cigarette in his mouth; indeed, this love of smoking amounts to something like a passion. Almost every half hour, even in the midst of a fierce debate or of a great speech, Labby may be seen rising from his seat in his lazy, indolent manner; is going to have a smolder mind or does have his cigarette. It is characteristic of him that he smokes an inferior cigarette. I asked him once what kind he smoked. "As long as there is quantity," said Labby, with his usual sardonic smile. "I really don't much care about quality."

The wagons of the London fire company are to be supplied with bells so that the firemen will no longer be compelled to utter cries to clear the streets. west they grow to enormous lengths. San Antonio, Tex., has long been a market for the skin of the rattlesnake, and hides seven feet long and nine inches wide at the widest part have been brought in there. Purses and curios are made of these skins in the main, but from the larger skins handbags are made, finished in the lustless hues of the snake as it was in life. The python of South America and other snakes of the coniferous family are sought for their hides until their kinds also are threatened with extinction. various members of the tortoise family have been victims of fashion and wealth for years. Nothing in the cleverest imitations of the shell has ever approached the perfections of the tortoise shell comb in its various shapes and styles, and as for terrapin served upon the table, it holds its own with the rarest of wines and the costliest of other delicacies of the world. Aside from the suffering of the saffarians because of their valuable skins, and shell, and teeth, the table of the pioneer in many sections of the United States and its possessions makes demand upon certain species. In Death Valley, in California, on oak trees the lizard tribe is considered a delicacy of first rank. This is the chuckwalla, a chunky creature of mottled black, weighing about a pound, and feeding wholly upon the vegetable creations of the scaly soil in which it makes a home. The iguanae is the other edible lizard and many of them are found in the Philippines, as well as in Cuba and in South America. It is a most revolting creature in form and color, and it frequently is found measuring three feet in its unexceptual diet, however, have long made it an unquestioned luxury for the table of the pioneer. The horned toad of the southwest is passing. Really he is of the lizard family, and has the characteristics of the lizard family in that he takes on the general moponous shade of the soil upon which he lives. If he be found in the black earth of Texas his general tone will be black; if in the yellow sand he will have a yellow tone. But he is at all times harmless and silent, and though denied transportation in the United States mails he may be found in the breeches pockets of thousands of school boys in the great southwest country. The lizard family is going, steadily and surely, without the consideration that was shown the bird when fashion fixed upon him as one of its martyrs. Superstitious fear of saurian and of reptiles will hasten their going, in spite of the fact that few saurian are menaces to man and in the face of the fact that the rattlesnake, the water moccasin, and the copperhead are the only poisonous snakes in North America. EFFECT OF RAIN ON ANIMALS. Some Wild Creatures, Notably Wolves, Enjoy It. "The effects of a rainy day upon animals of a zoo," said a keeper the other day, "are as interesting to watch as anything I know in connection with a collection of beasts. Now, that big wolf over there just reels in a rainy day, and skips as asgay as you please. All the wolves are the same. Rain cheers them up. But the lions are different. They freet and fume and fume, and you give them an extra allowance of pan of warm milk. Then they will sleep, but a rainy day seems to get on the nerves of a lion or any of the cat family. Snakes are kept in just a certain temperature all the time, and you would think that the damp air would never reach them. Perhaps it doesn't, but I have always noticed that all the reptiles are active and cheerful, when it rains. The deer family, the bears, the various sorts of wild goats, the birds don't seem to mind the rain a bit. Birds don't dislike most disconcertable, dreary things in the world on a rainy day. They don't sing, hard chirpy, but just settle down to be as miserable as possible."—London Tit-Bits. Indian Baskets.

HOLDS ITS INITIAL MEETING IN SPRINGFIELD LAST MONDAY. Large Gathering of Enthusiastic, Earnest, Eloquent Citizens of the State, Who Seek to Protect the Rights they Now Enjoy, and Have those Recognized of Which they are Now Deprived—President Roosevelt, Governor Yates, Sheriff Winlock and Gov. Durbin Praised. The numerous assaults committed on the Afro-American, the lax methods of enforcing the law and the concerted action among the citizens, clauses to the laws of their rights of citizenship has made it evident that some action must be taken to stay the murderous onslaughts of the Negrophobist and to devise means by which their civil and political rights, guaranteed by the laws of the land, shall be American people are a race of rapists. That members of the race commit assaults on women cannot be denied, but the message among the citizens is greater for the Caucasian than for the Afro-American. It must be remembered that many black men who are charged with assault with intent to commit rape are really guilty of nothing more than simple assault, and in certain sections of the country "insolent" Negroes have been accused of Public spirited citizens of Chicago, supported by other sections of the state, took the matter in hand and organized the "Equal Rights and Procedures" meeting. The first session of the League convened at Springfield last Monday at 10 a. m. This being the initial meeting, the attendance was far in excess of what was expected, there being a large number of attendees, C. Jones, president of the League, called the meeting to order, and after prayer by Rev. Smith, of Springfield, the secretary, L. B. Anderson, of Chicago, called the roll of delegates. After the roll call, and some other procedures, Jones delivered the opening address. The chairman in his address paid his respects to those southern firefighters at the pitchfork Tillman stripe, who claim that the Afro-American has made no progress in the statistics showing what the Afro-American has done in the matter of accumulating wealth, in acquiring education, and the progress he has made along professional lines. The showing was highly complimentary to a people whom the vicious and to abusive character of the clan have made no progress in the last thirty years. Mr. Jones vigorously denounced Booker T. Washington, and claimed that his methods were tending to the injury instead of the betterment of the condition of the people, and to the vigorous defense of the race, and a scathing rebuke to those men who after years of robbery and abuse of a people now seek to check their progress and deprive them of the rights guaranteed by the constitution. It was at one time that a reference to Mr. Washington did not meet with the unanimous approval of the delegates. After the president's address various committees were appointed, and other routine business attended to. The following open letter to the League from Hon. Cyrus Fields, assistant register of the United States treasury, was read and met with a hearty reception: Chicago, Ill., October 10, 1903. To the Officers and Members of the Illinois Civil Rights Protective League, to be held at Springfield, October 12. Gentlemen: Regretting that circumstances over which I have no control will prevent me from attending the meeting Monday, I feel, as a member of the Illinois Civil Rights Protective League, that our organization has an imperative duty to perform. In the present crisis in the history of the race, when our enemies are bending every energy in an infamous attempt to deprive the Afro-American population of the benefits it is the duty of the Afro-Americans of Illinois to speak in no uncertain tones against the aggressions of those who would decitizen men because of race or color. I respectfully suggest that in the address to the public we should: 1. Resent the idea that this is a "white man's country." By right of birth and intense loyalty to the flag, the Afro-American claims his share of American citizenship, and the Federal constitution specifies the legal privilege before the law. 2. Declare our belief that the statements of those who claim that the Caucasian race, which constitutes but one-fourth of the total population of the globe, has been especially ordained by God to govern other races is equivocal to blasphemy. 3. Combat the idea that the granting of suffrage to the race was a mistake, and that it has proved a failure. We should affirm our belief in manhood suffrage without any accusation, property or property whatever, and that the law-abiding man of good character, who does his duty as a citizen and risks his life in defense of the flag, should not be deprived of the ballot because he is poor and cannot read or write. We should consider the proposition that we relinquish any of the political or civil rights we now possess. We should make every effort to retain those we have and regain those which have been lost. Denial of these rights has worked over time to deprive all of the related rights of citizenship, because a voteless man, of a truth, has no right which any one is bound to respect. 4. Dispute the proposition that the Afro-American should be limited to industrial education. There should be a thorough training of head, heart and 6. Declare that in a republic there can be but one kind of citizen, hence deny the right of the government—general, state or local—to discriminate in any way between citizens by the enactment of any law which specifies that the Afro-American must be separated from or treated differently from the great body of citizens. 7. Challenge the statement. Till 8. Declare that the Afro- $2.40 PER YEAR. RIGHTS AND LEAGUE OF ILL. BETTING IN SPRINGFIELD MONDAY. Chusiastic, Earnest, Elo-the State, Who Seek to They Now Enjoy, and Have Which they are Now Deosevelt, Governor Yates, Gov. Durbin Praised. American people are a race of rapists. That members of the race commit assaults on women cannot be denied, but the percentage of crimes against women is greater for the Caucasian than for the African-American, who are membered that many black men who are charged with assault with intent to commit rape are really guilty of nothing more than simple assault, and in certain sections of the country "insolent" Negroes have been accused of assaulting women and that poor black white men have blackened their faces, assaulted women and then poor black men have been murdered by mobs. The Chicago Inter-Ocean has shown by the court records that white men have been assaulted by black men as many rapes as were charged to the entire Afro-American race. There are 1,033 convicts in Sing-Sing prison, New York. Of these sixty-one whites and two Afro-Americans were sentenced for rape; that is 6 per cent. of the whites and but 1 per cent. of the Africans were guilty of assaults on women. 8. Dispute the contention that Southern Caucasians pay the taxes necessary to educate the Southern Afro-American. This is an economic abstraction, as an argument by persons who seek to befog the public intelligence. Each man standing in his place in every community pays as much taxes as any other man. This is an economic trusim which no reputable master of society can afford. Smith will present, has disputed. 9. Direct attention to the effect produced by the license of the mob spirit. Mob license is more dangerous to the well being and perpetuity of society than isolated infractions of law by individuals. 10. We should reaffirm our unalterable determination to continue the battle for every right to which we are justly entitled to as good citizens, loyal citizens, and so on. We should state plainly that, come what may, we will never give up the contention for absolute justice and absolute equality under the law. Respectfully submitting the above suggestions, and trusting that the meeting may be effective to great good for the race, I am. Yours faithfully. When the committee on an address to the country reported their work a storm of disapproval came up from the delegates, and several were at once on their feet to speak against its adoption. The committee claused in the address reflecting on Booker T. Washington and his methods. R. A. Byrd, of Quincy, a member of the committee, got the floor, and, after handing in a minority report, in a vigorous speech defended Maat's actions, the committee opposed the adoption of the majority report. W. W. Johnson, chairman of the committee, defended the action of the committee, scored Mr. Washington, and demanded action to preserve the civil and political rights of the American H. Morris got the committee delivered a forcible and argumentative speech in support of the majority report. He gave reasons why he opposed Mr. Washington and his methods. He stated in his speech that he was not in any sense opposed to industrial education for all those who wanted it; but he said no man could be just to stand and look the stand that because a man's skin was black he should plow in the field, or because a woman's skin was black she should only be educated to be a drawer of water and hewer of wood. Those sentiments he charged Booker T. Fassington with entertaining was the greatest race man he who taught the cultivation of a free and independent spirit, but reserved to himself the right to decide what avocations in life he or his should follow, regardless of the color of the skin. After considerable discussion, that potion was referred to as the Washington was redefined, and afterward the address was adopted by a vote of 47 to 22. Resolutions endorsing the administrations of President Roosevelt and Gov. Yates were adopted. A vote of thanks was tendered Gov. Yates for the mainly sentiments expressed in the address to the League of the Right, delivered at the afternoon session. Resolutions commending the course of Gov. Durbin of Indiana, and Sheriff Witlock of Vermillion county, were also passed. The officers elected for the ensuing year are: - President—John G. Jones, Chicago. - First vice president—H. H. Devitt, Jacksonville. Second vice president—T. C. Fleming, Bradwood. Secretary—Louis B. Anderson, Chicago. Assistant secretary—Otis B. Duncan, Springfield. State organizer—R. A. Byrd, Quincy. An executive committee of nine members was chosen, of which Representative E. H. Morris of Chicago is chairman. The League then adjourned subject to the call of the president. This year's cotton will amount to about 10,000,000 bales, worth half a billion dollars, at least 80 per cent of it was produced by the brawn of Southern Afro-Americans. Read between the lines.

Thirkield, corresponding secretary of the Freedom's Aid and Southern Education Society, in delivering the opening address before the Evangelical Alliance at Cincinnati, Monday, charged that crime in the South was due to the chain gang prison system. He made a strong arraignment of the schools of crime, maintained in every Southern state, through their brutalizing and debauzing influence on thousands of Afro-Americans. Few white men are sent to the chain gang, but thousands of Afro-Americans are in many cases sent up for long terms on trumped up charges, blood and brawn" may be bartered for gun, and the lessee is not morals but money; not reformation, but exploitation of criminals for revenue. --- M. DR. L. W. LIVINGSTON. United States Consul at Cape Haiti, Haiti. The criminals are scattered in branch prisons—quartered in rude stockades, without proper sanitation, food or clothing. Old and young are promiscuously herded together. In some camps, women and women are not separated—that is Afro-American men and women. Of course, great care is taken to separate the races. It is a system which has no reformatory element, no system to cure men of crime, for men and women in criminals in crime, and that by its barbary brutalizes and dehumanizes men and sends out those who do not under the system to debauch and degrade society. If the South would stop the carnival of crime, it must reform the present system and thus stop the education of criminals. The convict lease system does not exist in any Northern state, and if the South has any regard for the future, the system must be wiped out of existence. The abolition of the white manshood in the solution of the "problem." the platform to which restricted and troubled was killed. Now all cans of the Kevil county have had to find. Had there been no row, would have been no row. In the course of the H. Tillman at Lexix murder, the state has stand. Capt. John Livio brought out and this information could it was against the witness. Judge Gary the fact that the witness. Judge Gary the fact that the white might have found in the solution of the "problem." In strong contrast to the schools of crime, owned and operated by the Southern state governments, stand the North state governments, maintained by the benevolence of the North. Thousands have attended these institutions, and NOT ONE GRADUATE HAS EVER BEEN EVEN ACCUSED OF THE CRIME GAINS THE $ACREND OF NORTH HOOD. Down with the chain gang—up with the Christian school. NO WARD BUSINESS FOR US Dr. C. L. Parks of Atlanta, Georgia, is sponsor for a new scheme to settle the "problem." The fact that the proposition originated in Atlanta is enough to dam it in the eyes of all citizens. The fact that there is more race prejudice to the square inch in Georgia's capital than in any other city on the continent. This scheme, which has been approved by the Rock River Conference and the National Association of a memorial to Congress to put the Afro-American on the same plane with the Indian, making him a ward of the government and then proceed to educate him along some special line not yet mapped out, but as the author of the resolution is a Southerner, it is not possible to get very good at the education—just enough to make him a "good nigger." The Afro-Americans are getting along very nicely under the 'present system, except that there are not schools enough. They need to be given the opportunity to close all separate schools and compel all citizens to send their children to the same schools, of course giving the teachers now employed in the separate schools the right to teach in those schools. Really Rev. Parks' proposition is a very nery one. Think of it! He proposes to take native born citizens and make them wards. Instead of uplifting the race he would degrade it. The Afro-Americans are native born citizens; the Afro-Americans are indirect taxes; they obey the laws; they are subject to military duty, and in return they demand the same rights as other citizens. They believe that their children should have the same sort of education; they children of any other citizens get. They will not stand any ward business. PRESBYTERIANS SETTLE THE "PROBLEM." As already noted in THE APPEAL of the Presbyterians have tackled the alleged "race problem" and settled it in the only way that will be acceptable by the majority of the Afro-American people. There are 15,000 Afro-American members in the Presbyterian church and by the action of the committee on territorial limits the Afro-American members will not set apart as a separate denomination. At the committee meeting this much was developed: 1. No favor will be given to a separate church idea. 2. "commendation will be adopted pushing the Afro-American out of the church. "No legislation discriminating against any race or color." The committee, which was composed of four members, will make its report to the general assembly at Buffalo, N. Y. next May. The decision of the committee is the only one that true Christians could possibly make. There should be no color line in the church—nor anywhere else, for that matter. Any Caucasian who objects to the fellowship of Christians, either is not a true follower of Christ. --- The color line separations which are in vogue in the South are the cause of the death of a white man at Kevil, Ky., the wounding of others and a threatened "race war." In the South there were separate rooms for Afro-Americans and whites, but in this instance it seems there were,separate portions of the platform at the station for blacks and whites. Of course as every one knows these barriers do not prohibit black territory, but only blacks from entering that of the whites. Children persisted in going on the portion of THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER the platform to which the blacks were restricted and trouble arose and he was killed. Now all the Afro-Americans of the Kevil section of Ballard county have had to flee for their lives. Had there been no separation there would have been no occasion for the row. In the course of the trial of James H. Tillman at Lexington, S. C., for murder, the state had on the witness stand Capt. John Livingston, who sup-posed that the white man wrote Judge Gary ruled that the fact that Capt. Livingston supported a Republican against a white Democrat might be brought out and that the jury with this information could decide whether it was against the reliability of the witness. Judge Gary explained that the white man wrote against the white men's candidate might have some effect as to the witness's credibility, in view of the peculiar condition existing in this state. --- George, Guenther, a wealthy white farmer living five miles from Sandusky, Ohio, married his Afro-American housekeeper about two weeks ago, and since that event he has had trouble. Three times his house has been attacked by cowardly mobs and he and his wife have been severely wounded. If Guenther had lived in adultery with the woman there would have been no trouble; but as he was honorably wedded to her, the exponents of Caucasian civilization and Christianity displeased, and show their superiority by attempting to commit murder. The business manager of the Houston (Texas) Post says the new newspaper "combines the better points of the very best newspaper building in the United States." The building may be worthy of praise, but how about the newspaper that caters to the lowest race prejudices? If the sentiments of the editor were more in harmony with the beautiful building, it would be better for all the people of Houston. A party of white men near Henderson, Texas, concluded they'd have some fun by flogging an Afro-American named Robert Williams, who was charged with some alleged offense. Williams warned the party not to approach by the Peyton named to advance when he fired, killing him and wounding another. The Afro-American should not be "looking for trouble," but when attacked without reason, he is justified in protecting himself. They are having a peculiar kind of race problem in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It has been discovered that Rev. M. L. M. Fenwick, pastor of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, is a Caucasian, and now some of the Afro-American brethren wish to draw the attention of the creative medical practice to work for the race, these malcontents ought to "go way back and sit down." It seems that in the recent primary election held in Penners Point, Va., one poor deluded Afro-American attempted to vote, but it was thrown out because the point was made and a resolution was adopted saying that "it is against the party law for a Negro to participate in a Democratic primary." And still some folks profess to wonder why Afro-Americans generally are staunch Republicans. The Birmingham Age-Herald thinks that New Orleans, Memphis, Houston and other cities of the South within the next fifty years. These are the meanest cities in the South in their treatment of the Afro-American. No matter what the population, they will never be truly great in majority of the Caucasus inhabitants get rid of a lot of their race prejudice. We don't know what will be the outcome of John Alexander Dowie's raid upon New York, but he and his followers seem to be terribly in earnest, as must be conceded, in view of the going of 3,000 Chicago appoach his mission. Dowie is pretty square upon the so-called "race problem" and upon a number of other points. And now comes the Houston Chronicle of Texas and claims that it was the first paper to advocate race separation as a solution of the "problem." The Chronicle also "notes with pride" its part in the discussion and declares that the scheme will be carried out sooner or later. John Temple Graves must look to his laurels. Suffering humanity! Just think of its Titanian, the deliberate, cold-blooded murderer was acquitted. Does anybody believe justice can be obtained in the South? White brutes all over the country continue to attack defenseless Afro-American children. There were several cases during the past week THE BOOK WORLD THE CURSE OF CASTE. The Cate. The W. L. Cato.

The first leads to anarchy, the second to oligarchy. The middle way is the American people ever walk therein. Denied admission to the local public school, because of his race, he would have been denied admission to any ignorance but for the philanthropic spirit of a New England woman, living on an ancient plantation in a young village where he was living mind commenced to expand, his ambition grew apace, and he freted like a caged bird. He was a man whose body, which fell heavily upon his sensitive spirit. On a hunting expedition one night with the officers of the law, and was condemned to a public whipping for a crime of which he was convicted, it because his comrade, the sole witness to the court, was seen out of the jurisdiction, the court in order that there might be no punishment, however, by a stay of execution obtained by a friend, he returns to his lowly habit, and sick after rescuing a drowning woman, and tracting to himself the friendship of his neighbors only served to increase their fear. While in a delicatious condition, and nursed by his benefactress, a very dramatic story of a woman carried to the "Great House" where she was through some mysterious influence. Treated as an adopted son, he is finally released, and second time he meets Theodore Roosevelt, who once again comes into his life. Social Life in the Early Republic. By Anne Hincollins Worthworth Wharton. Pro- fessly illustrated. Svo. Buckram, grit unclear. uncut edges. no Philadel- phia. Within the last year or two there has been written a good deal of interesting material on the history of life of the Republic and of the colonial period. Much of the matter that has been written is of a hardiness and ill preparation, and can hardly be classed as standard literature. It has been written in the Social Life in the Early Republic, has written historically and well. This lady has written dealing with the most strenuous period of development and evolution was not a period of great success, but caused them to look forward with much expectation to the volume, which may be termed The first chapter on "A Social Evolution" carries one straight to the heart of the book: little prologues or apologies which usually, characterize works of this class, postmodernism, postmodern morals with a French politeness and delicacy of manner which render virtue more amiable. It wrote a book about principal cities of America soon after the Revolution, in 1876. the New England city the observing of the "nessiness without luxury," and, if in other cities and towns that he visited he found more luxury and less neatness, in women who seem to be more charming that he frankly adored, in women so charming that he frankly adored, ability they compared favorably with those of any court in the Old World of the southern states she writes: "In nothing Southern settler more clearly shown than in his love for field sports. A Maryland horse that seemed almost tireless, and with dogs like the horses, they sometimes chased Reynard across the eastern peninsula of Virginia. The return journey and the stope of horses more time than the pursuit of the fox, and the whole expedition sometimes lasted." In a chapter on "Jeffersonian Simplification" on the following occasion, When Mrs. Madison gave a lecture to her sweeping strictures upon Democratics, the men have made a mental reservation that she was a great favorite. Indeed it was in consequence of her reservation to Mrs. Madison, having a state dinner that he aroused the aniline affection of White House Merry. White House etiquette does not seem to have occupied Mr. Jefferson's mind. White House etiquette and either from carelessness or because of his defiant red-republicanism, he quite seems to have been interested in the author writes interesting chapters on the politics, society and intellectual life of the early inhabitants of the Republic. --- HISTORY OF THE GERMAN STRUGGLE GLE FOR LIBERTY History of the German struggle for Liberty.

The world in advanced thought concerning philosophy, science, and even theology, absolutely basely founded on the logologies of the world were promulgated in the struggle for liberty which began immediately following the battle of Wawel. The feeling states that no mention is made in German literature of men above medical education, and that his task has been one of interesting delving into thousands of historical events to understand the information desired, not a page of which was enlivened by a personal reincarnation, anecdote of the leaders of the struggle. --- --- Anthemitism.

New York The treatment given the subject is histiological histiations between Jews and Gentiles are traced from the earliest times. Perhaps learn how much of proselytism has been carried on reciprocally between the He-terans and the Jews would, perhaps, willingly adhere to a greater mixture of race than Jews would, perhaps, willingly adhere to a greater mixture of distinctions whether there be founded upon language, shape of the head, or color of hair. The prevailing opinion prevails that races are distinct and inferiority on the other part there is likely to be trouble between Jew and Gentile.

"A PAIR OF PINKS." At the Grand Opera House. Theater goers this year are asked to accept Ward and Vokes as two Pinkerton detectives in their new vehicle "A Pair of Pinks," which comes to the Grand next week. The requirement sounds funny, and as that is the sole purpose of the labor of Ward and Vokes —the making of fun—it is a good ginning. These popular comedians have firmly established themselves with a very large class of goers, and new show by the large company for the public who enjoy a laughter treat. That it will be found a musical entertainment goes without saying, and it is promised that the music is all new, catchy, and the kind to set the lips a-pucker at once.

Weds a White Girl in Buffalo and Will Go to France on Wedding Tour. "King Solomon" drifted into Buffalo, N.

At any rate, his clothes have been the envy of the town, his many changes of expensive garments have fairly glistened with prosperity, while the white bootblack who polished his shoes was never asked for change. It is stated M. H. "King Solomon," that he has an income of $100 per day but from what source it is not stated. A few days ago he was married to Miss Minnie Stevens, a pretty white girl, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Stevens of St. Marys, Ont. The bride is a fair girl, slender and delicate, 21 years old, while the "King" owns to 41 years of eventful life. "Color is but a trifling matter," said Mrs. Solomon, as she gazed with love-lit eyes into her husband's polished countenance. The pair went to New York.
