HOMAMMEDANISM A GREAT AND GROWING PERIL. Recent Events in the Turkish Empire Have a Dire Significance for the Student-Aim is the Conquest of Christianity. --- There is, however, one quarter of the world, one nation, one people where and among whom war has been an everpresent possibility for many years, and is apparently now actually beginning. We refer to Turkey, to the Turkish people, and the followers of Mohammed, wherever they may be. The hideous outrages and massacres which have filled Macedonia and other provinces of European Turkey with misery and woe and terror for months past are only symptomatic of the condition prevailing in every country where the rule of the unappeasable extremist extremists extends the hammedanism are held by any considerable number of people. The deepest, most menacing and formidable shadow that lies across the pathway of the world's peace to-day is that of Mohammedanism, says Leslie's Weekly. These things being true, such uprisings as that in Morocco, the formidable outbreak in Macedonia, the growing disaffection in Asia Minor, the operations of the Mad Mullah in Somaliland, the rise of the fanatical Senussi in the Soudan, all take upon themselves an omnivorous significance of the war, writers in English and French reviews that we are on the eve of a terrible outburst of Moslemite fanaticism may not be fulfilled, but they can hardly be regarded as a purely alarmist cry. It is also to be borne in mind that the Sultan of Turkey, the chief representative of the Moslem faith, has a standing army of over 250,000 men, and a reserve force for war purposes of over 90,000 more, all equipped with the best modern arms and disciplined the best and most experienced military instructors that Europe affords. Fear of death is unknown to them, for they are quite convinced that their bravery and devotion will be rewarded in paradise. At Oundmura 45,000 devilies charged down from the western slopes of Kerreri with glint of sword and spearheads to face the army Great Britain had put into the field in forty years. Another element in the situation, more significant of coming peril than any yet mentioned, lies in the fact that Mohammedanism is increasing faster, relatively, than any other form of faith. If mow has a nominal member, than the world of 176,834, 372, of which it is claimed, ten millions have been added in the last decade. Mr. Bourne has also described the rapid rise and growth of the Senussi, a fierce and warlike league of Moslem, founded some forty years ago, but who have recently established colonies in Tripoli, Tunis, Algeria and the ones of the Sahara, and are joining to their standard thousands of wild and lawless people wherever they appear, their aim, in common with all Moslem states, in the conquest of the Christian world and the conversion of its people by the sword or otherwise to the Moslem faith. HIS LAPSE OF MEMORY. Queen Victoria's Experiences With Befuddled Legislator. An anecdote which has lately been going the rounds in British official circles concerns the memorable experience of a certain member of Parliament during the last year of Queen Victoria's reign. The statesman in question is not one of those who are most firmly convinced of the benefits of total abstinence, and the evening of a certain public function at which royalty was to be present, found him in a condition which would not have been edifying to the supporters of that movement. The late queen was receiving the guests of honor, and it was necessary that the convivial M. P. should be presented with the rest. As he approached his sovereign Victoria extended her hand for him to kiss. But he did not kiss; it instead he grasped and book it with vigorous enthusiasm, while he socrutinized her face with grapeplexity. "Your face, madam," he observed, "is perfectly familiar to me, but I'm blowed if I can remember your name." "Harper's Weekly." Fruit That Eye Bit A fruit supposed to bear the mark of Eve's teeth is one of the many botanical curiosities of Ceylon. The tree on which it grows is known by the significant name of "the forbidian fruit," or "Eve's apple tree." The blossom has a very pleasant scent, but it is not a fruit. The tree, the one to which it owes its name, is the fruit. It is beautiful and hangs from the tree in a peculiar manner. Oranges on the outside and deep crimson within each fruit has the appearance of having a piece bitten out of it. This fact, together with its poisonous quality, led the Mahometans to represent the forbidian tree in the garden of Edinburgh and to warn men against its noxious properties. A.

HAD THE PASTING HABIT. Missouri Pauper Lived Fifty-Seven Days Without Eating Food. William Sorrell, who died in the infirmary at Huntsville Sept. 1, starved himself to death. In a fit of insanity he set out to fast eight years. He lived without food fifty-seven days and then expired. This gives an inadequate idea of the record he made, however. He had been in the infirmary four years. He worked on the farm until three months ago. Then he became violently insane and went without food a week. Later he fasted seventeen days. "This pleased him so well," says a coach from the school made the chief trial. "What he says without eating. Between fasts he would eat regularly as ordinary people do, but the periods of eating would not continue long enough to enable him to regain his natural virulor." It was on June 6 that he started on this intended eight years' fast and there is no doubt that he would have gone through it but for the interference of death, for all expedients had been exhausted to get him to eat, and without the slightest success. He might have lived longer but that he drank little water and daily diminished the amount of nutrition of the teachings of the fasting cultists. It shows that fasting will cure all ills if only long enough persisted in—Macon (Mo.) Republican. TERM HAD A QUEER ORIGIN How a Quarter of a Dollar Came to Be Known as "Two Bits" "Did you ever hear the expression 'two bits' used as an equivalent for a quarter of a dollar?' asked a New Worker. "The term is commonly used in the south and west. Not one person in 1,000 of those who habitually use the term known as the quarter of the eighteenth century the silver coinage of the United States had not suppressed the Spanish 'milled' dollar in the west and south. Fractional currency was particularly scarce and to obtain this the Spanish 'milled' dollar was cut up to make change. Halves and quarters, of course, suggested their own names, but when the quarter was cut in two the word 'eighth' was discarded for 'bit', a small slug having the value of twelve and a half cents. Many curio collectors 'have' the bit, but these possess, almost of course, they know 'since gone' of use as currency. "So with 'thrip', used in New York leans and the vicinity as an equivalent for the nickel or 5-cent piece. 'Thrip' is merely an abbreviation of 'threepeace, the coin of that value once in general use, representing about the same amount of money as a 5-cent piece."—New York Mall and Express. MARY DYER.

Batteries of Warships The latest announcement of the designs of the new Russian battleships is that they are to carry four twelve-inch and twelve-eight-inch guns as their principal armament. In all navies there is a growing tendency to increase the weight of the secondary pieces and provide guns that are armor-piercing, at ordinary battle ranges. Until lately the six-inch gun was the popular secondary battery weapon. Then Great Britain brought out her seven-and-five-tenth-inch gun, and the United States her seven-inch gun, followed a little later by Italy, which in the Vittorio Emanuel, bodily adopted a secondary battery made up exclusively of long-range, rapid-fire guns. The secondary battleship of the Kearsarge and Kentucky are five-inch and that of the Iowa four-inch. Punishment "Didn't I tell you not to propose to me again?" "You said something of that kind, but of course it made no impression on me." "Oh, it did! Well, I'll give you a lesson now that you won't forget. You'll never propose to me again." "What are you going to do?" "I'm going to accept you." A Frequent Complaint: "One would think," said the taxpayer to the city official, "that a fellow who was as anxious to get into that office as you were would be willing to stay there at least an hour a day." That seemed to be logical, too, but sometimes it doesn't work out that way. THE APPEAL. SIGNALS USED BY TRAINMEN. Elaborate System in Use by Which the Lives of Passengers Are Safeguarded. Did you ever travel on a dark, stormy night, in the very midst of the accident season, when the train came to a sudden stop with an awful wrenching and lurching and screeching of air brakes, and wonder, as you gazed apprehensively the train you were thus detained miles and miles from now where, and the brakeman you had seen passing and repassing through the car with a lighted lantern under his arm was standing out in the rain swinging it in all sorts of fancy geniuses, instead of taking that empty seat at the back of the car and making himself comfortable, as everyone else was doing? And when in answer to those self-same lantern calcithenics the train began to behave outrageously, did you ever try to puzzle out the meaning of it all. For of course there is a meaning, and a very definite meaning at that. In fact, your very life depends upon the precise and proper dip curve of that funny little pot-bellied lantern, for its slightness of rules, a code strict that none may deviate in even the slightest degree from the letter and law of them, and withal a code that means volumes to those who understand it. This code is the easiest thing in the world to master, when once you are given the key to it. Every railroad employee is obliged to know it thoroughly, but except for these the railroad magnates sedulously guard the signals from the great public at large, so that this is special to you alone, because if you the very latest information regarding the operation of a train, but because it is information not easily gained. With the exception of a few trunk lines operating between Chicago and New York all railroads in the United States have identically the same code of signals. They are issued in book form and every employee connected with the operative department is giv TRAIN HAS TRAINED. Sewer automatically in a circle at an area's length across the track. en a revised edition once a year. In reference to engine whistles the engineer has to be most careful that he makes them distinct, with intensity and duration proportionate to the distance that the signal is conveyed. Like the Morse telegraph code the signals are conveyed with long and short dots and dashes. For instance, "O" stands for short sounds and "—" for longer sounds. When an engineer gives a short blast, "O", thus, it means stop. The brakeman knows he must immediately apply the brakes. Two long blasts, "—" —" thus, means brakees. "O" —" thus, the long blast, "—" and then three short ones mean "flagman, and protect rear end of train." This signal is generally given the moment the train pulls up at some point not down on the schedule. The code of hand, flag and lamp signals are thus: When a conductor swings his lantern across like in figure (a) it is a signal to stop. Raised and lowered as in figure (b) it means proceed. Swung vertically in a circle across the track when the train is standing as in figure (c) the signal means back. Swung vertically in a circle at arm's length across the track when the train is running as in figure (d) the train has parted. Swung horizontally in a circle as denoted in figure (e) means apply air brakes. A lantern held at arm's length above the head when the train is standing as in figure (f) means release air brakes. As everyone knows, flags are used in the daytime and lanterns at night, red means stop, green proceed, yellow proceed with caution, green and white flag stop. A blue flag by day or a blue light by night means to an Defective Page engineer that workmen are about and to be cautious. Watches of train crews are examined by inspectors every night, for which they receive a certificate, which is filed with the superintendent of the division. Before a train pulls out the conductor of the train and the engineer must compare time by their watches. Possibly you have noticed flags placed on the front part of a locomotive; you have seen them there, but do not know what they mean. Two white flags placed on the front of an engine means that it is an extra train. Bestest the two white flags two white columns are placed on the engine at night. Two green flags on the engine running forward by day means that there is another section following behind and to look out for it. At night two green lanterns are also placed on the engine. This is shown in designs herewith. Two green flags on the upper part of PROCRED—Raised ind lowered vertically. the structure of the engine and two down below near the cowcatcher, when an engine is running backward without cars, or at the rear of a train pushing cars, mean there is another section following. At night the same meaning is signaled by two green lights on top and two red lights below. The two green flags you see at the rear end of a coach are there simply to show the end or the base of the train. At night two green lanterns are hung out when the train is running, and two red lights when the train is standing still, as in figures herewith. The headlight of an engine is displayed to the front of the train by night, but is always concealed by the engineer drawing a shade over it when a train turns out to meet another and has stopped clear of the main track or is standing end of a double track or at a junction. The average trainman of any experience, whether conductor or brakeman, can tell the speed of the train by the click of the wheels on the rails, or, in other words, can tell to a minimum speed by taking an average of the clinks as the train runs over a few rails. When you are seated in a train and you hear four long blasts don't get alarmed, it is only the engineer calling in the flagman from the west, while five long blasts call him from the east. When a train is parted and the engineer becomes aware of it he immediately gives three long blasts. He APPLY AIR BRAKE-SWING horizontally in a circle. repeats this signal again and again until answered by the train crew by a lamp signal, indicating that they are also aware of what has happened. When an engineer sounds two short blasts (0 0 0) it practically means "Yee" in answer to any signal that the conductor may give. When a train is standing still and you hear three short blasts thus (0 0 0) it means that the train is going to back up and you had better climb aboard. Four short blasts means that the engineer wants information. He is attracting the attention of the conductor to get a signal repeated or wants the conductor to stop the commotion. Everybody has heard two long blasts, followed by two short blasts, which in the code reads thus: — 0 0. This is when a train is approaching a public crossing and is a warning to teams to look lively and get across the track. Two long blasts (in the code thus — —) is the sound given when a train is approaching stations and junctions and railroad crossings at grade. A succession of short sounds of the whistle is a warning to persons or cattle on the track that there is danger ahead. It also brings the trainmen to attention. The explosion of one torpedo is a signal to stop. The explosion of two not more than 20 feet away is a signal to reduce speed and look out for a stop signal. In order to protect themselves against damage suits arising from accidents the railroad company's rules are very stringent. No company will employ minors on train or yard service unless the minors secure the written consent of their parents or guardians. This is done because of the danger of the work. In like manner no person is employed who has not been rigidly examined by a physician of the company to discuss the safety hearing, sight or color perception of the applicant. Many young men are rejected on this account. No person is allowed to ride free on trains except as specially provided for. For instance, in Nevada and Arizona the Southern Pacific company allows Indians to ride on freight trains as much as they like. There are many reasons why they ride on trains, among track walkers that the Indians are good track walkers and faithfully report any damage to the rails when they discover them. Old Johnson Sides, chief of the Plutes in Nevada, has been a friend of railroad men ever since the Central Pacific was built. In early days the Plutes rendered invaluable service to the railroad company by helping to extinguish prairie fires in summer.—Sidney P. Robertson in San Francisco Call. The Rashi Bazouk's Costume Like each of the various clans of the Kurds, the Bashi-Bazouk can easily be distinguished by his costume. His shoes or "yemenys" (meaning leather) are red or black. His golf BACK—Swing vertically in a circle across the track. like stockings, which leave the knee like stockings, are elaborately embroidered in black, his short Turkish trousers are homepun, while about his waist is a short sash of wool or silk, surmounted by a leather belt in rich colors and embossed in red. This is divided into three or four sections, in which he keeps his hands up and his yatsghan, always kept sharp. The Bask-hauses never carry daggers, as the Circassians do. A cartridge box hangs from his side, as also a small silver snuff box. They wear two jackets, the under one with short sleeves and the outside with long. At the elbow is an opening, in which they carry in a leather bag written questions from the bullets, to present them from the bullets of the adversary. About the neck is a chain of silver coins, from which is suspended a powder box. Practical.

The following story published in a fashional film more than one point of interest: "My grandfather," says the writer, "was very friendly with the 'sage of Chelsea', and I frequently went in with messages or to see him during his visits there. On one occasion I was sent_out on an errand for Thomas Carlyle and, being unable to get exactly what was required, I brought the nearest sting to it that I could get. On my return, after telling him I had not got the actual thing I was sent for, but that I had brought instead some thing else as near to it as possible Carlyle produced a shilling, which he gave me, as he said: 'Not because I had done as I was told, which was only what I ought to do, but because I had used my intelligence. On how I had learned father about it I was very much disgusted when he told me not to spend the shilling to but have a hole made in it and keep it, as he said that Carlyle did not give many shillings away and some day I should no doubt prize it. All though rather disgusted at the time I kept the shilling and it is to-day among my most treasured posses slong: The double reason which the stern father gave in advising the boy to keep the shilling will be appreciated by every Carlyle student. SPREAD OF NEW LANGUAGE. "Esperanto" Said to Be Capable of Universal Use. According to reports from Europe the spread of Esperanto, the language invented for universal use, has proved of value to Esperantists. At a recent gathering in London one of the guests brought with him a French gentleman and his wife and a Czech from Bohemia. None of the three could speak a word of English, but Esperanto was found to be a perfectly facile medium for conversation. The Bohemian gentleman had had various amusing experiences while journeying through Europe. He had taken one of the Esperanto journals, marked the names of the secretaries of the various groups in the foreign towns through which he had to pass and, so, not knowing anything of the languages, he had traveled through Europe, and all that was to be seen with the help of various Esperanto friends, and finally arrived in England. He knocked at the door of a London Esperantist, who came down to interview the stranger, found that he needed a home while in London, but did not know where to go, as no one could understand him. There was no difficulty, as both could communicate in Esperanto. Popularity of the Dahlia Dahlias are growing in popularity, and dahila shows are held in some cities. In the wild plant the flowers are single, with a dull gray and yellow disk; the varieties of the cultivated forms are almost endless. The plant was discovered in Mexico by Vincent Cervantes about 1784 and was first taken to the botanic gardens of Madrid and the same year it was introduced into England by the marchioness of Bute. The plant became extinct in that country and was again taken thither in 1804. In that year is found the earliest mention of the dahila, named from Andrew Dahl, a Swedish botanist and pupil of Linaeus. In Mexico the flowers are cultured on the quantity of inulin they contain, but elsewhere, though many times tried, they never have become popular, being regarded as unpalatable. Question of Style. The Princess Chinquilla, daughter of the late Lone Star, chief of the Cheyennes, attended a reception not long ago attired in the native costume of her rank. The princess is a Carlisle graduate, and an unusually bright and interesting young woman, quick to think and to speak. Our costumes and presently it became the subject of conversation among the little party about her. "Do you wear it on the streets of New York, Princess?" inquired a man. "Not now," she replied. "I did when I first came to the East, but the people laughed at me, so I changed it to my native style. I laughed too, at that moment." I thought how delighted our wild chiefs would be if they could have headaddresses like those."—Philadelphia Ledger. Announcement of the engagement of Lady Grizel Cochrane, daughter of Lord Dundonald, the British cavalry general, recalls that at the end of the seventeenth century there was a Cochrane who dwore his life to the great daring of his daughter Grizel. This Cochrane had been sentenced to death at Edinburgh and the king refused to listen to all appeals for mercy. Miss Grizel, however, set her wits to work, she tracked her opponent, who was bringing the death warrior to Edinburgh, found him, by good luck, aleep, drew the powder from his pistols and later on—for she had an eye to the dramatic effect—disguised herself as a highwayman and so obtained possession of the fatal document.

The Tongue as a Weapon of Defense —Why the Indisposition of Rush In to Matrimony—Hard to Reach a Woman's Feelings. Woman's tongue has been the subject of animadversion ever since men began to rush into print. Yet common humanity would allow every creature one peapon of defense. A certain clergyman has created some comment by publicly reproving women who came to church without any hats. If the new woman continues in her present tendencies he may be glad, some day, to get her to church with a hat or without one. A Chicago paper stated that there were 8,500 women in that city who had been deserted by their husbands and left to support their families alone; and yet some persons are disposed to rail at the new woman because of an alleged indisposition to rush into matrimony. Motherhood has been exalted in sorg and story, extolled by preacher and philosopher. But let a lone wow with ten children and one in the arms turn up at Ellis Island and see how quickly she will be on her way back to Italy. The university of Grenoble, France, has recently appointed a young woman professor of English, the first university in that country to include a woman in the faculty. This must be a blow to Mr. Hughes Le Roux, who since his visit to this country has employed his facile pen chieffin in the abuse of American women. Men have been better friends than women because they have always worked and played together, while the intercourse of women with each other has been largely confined in the past to the agony of the "call" or the more long-drawn misery of the country "visit." In all the States where women vote, the percentage of women criminals is startlingly low. According to recent statistics there were no women in the state penitentiaries of Wyoming and Idaho, only 2.6 per cent of the inmates were women in Colorado, 2.6 per cent in Utah and 1.8 per cent in Kansas. This at least shows that not many of them are jailed for election frauds.—New York Times. A little Salvation Army slum worker—one of the kind that goes into city saloons and exhorts people for the good of their souls—said to the bachelor girl the other day: "It's harder to reach a woman's feeling than a man's. A woman is awfully cold, and she doesn't care her heart is breaking. She'll lunch in your face and go out and commit suicide the next day." PRISONER KNEW TOO MUCH. Elaborate Answer to Question, "What Have You Got to Say?" "The charge agin ye," the police justice said, "is burglary. What have ye got to say?" "As to that," replied the prisoner, a seedy-looking man who appeared to have seen better days, "if, by the term 'burglar', you mean the offense which, according to English law and practice for centuries, has been clearly defined as 'housebreaking by night', the charge is palpably ridiculous. The policeman alleges that he detected me in the act of breaking into a house yesterday afternoon in broad daylight. If, on the other hand, the term is made to cover the same offense when committed by day, which, I believe, is your own responsibility and understanding of the law, in a legal sense. I shall have to concede the correctness of the charge, your honor, reserving, however, the right to regard with a species of contempt the crude jurisprudence of this country." "Take 'im to 'is cell', gasped the police justice, 'an' let him sob up."—Chicago Tribune. Accounted For.

COLOR COMPROMISE IN CHURCH The Vesokylos Methodian theological session at Grand Rapids, Mich., has dropped the color line by voting to eliminate the words, "or color" from the articles of faith and substituting other words which practically cover the feet of the person into prominence. While it may be a slight gain to have the obnoxious word "color" removed, it doesn't amount to much so long as there are other words which mean the same thing and in importance the carte spirit. In the set of Christianity is the willingness of the person who claims to be a Christian to accept the black man as a brother in Christ, without any restrictions whatever. A person who will not stand that test is not a Christian. At the meeting of the American Missionary Association last week, "A Plea for Opportunity" was made by William Pickens, a senior of Yale university, the Afro-American student of the historic Ten York奖 by first prize in oratory last year. He said: "If certain men and classes are superior, do not legislate and discriminate against the inferior, but give all a free hand and the cosmic law of the survival of the fittest will do the rest.

D., of Western Reserve University, Cleveland, who presented a report on educational work in the South, in which he said the question was not whether the Negro was more or less divided than the Anglo-Saxon, but whether he should be regarded as a man. If he was regarded as a man, the question was not of the North or South, but of humanity and education. That's the way to look at the question. If he's a man he should be treated as a valued member, is making a strong campaign in Germany. And now peonage has been discovered in South Carolina. The Palmetto State is the hot bed of all kinds of crime. Under the working of the allege Constitution of Virginia, Richmond has about 1,000 Afro-American voters. The acquittal of Tillman, charge with murder, means that South Carolina is still in a state of barbarism. LIKE HELEN BISHOP CASE. For Which Geo. White Was Burne at the Stake. Special to Baltimore Sun. Wilmington, Del.—Mary Kosikoski 13 years old, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kosikoski, Poles, was There is a brave Afro-American down in Georgia and he is as modest as he is brave. Sixty members of the "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" company came within an ace of plunging to death through a fallen railroad trestle a few days earlier. The train was trapped on the since. The gorge by a badly wounded Afro-American brakeman on the freight train which had gone down with the trestle a few minutes before. The opera company made up a purse for the man, but he had vanished. The latest from Lynchland is to the effect that the "body of an unknown Negro was discoverer hanging to a tree" was riddled with bullets, and all investigations have not been able to discover the man's identity." If the man had committed a crime it is likely that the daily press, ever ready to show the bad side of the race, would have published it to the world. It is probably not murdered and dumped without any extinguishing circumstances whatever. Next Tuesday will be a momentous day for many men and in fact for the whole country. Elections will be held in eleven states and full state tickets will be given to the candidates for in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maryland, Ohio, Kentucky, Iowa and Mississippi. The elections will have considerable bearing on the national contest which comes one year later. The Tillman Grows crowd continues to talk to the peril of Negro illiteracy yet in many parts of the South there are more illiterate whites than blacks. The registers in Washington county, Maryland, report the illiterate vote is 1,100 of which only 275 are Afro-American. Dr. Washington Gladstone of Columbus says the race problem is more complex than at the end of the civil war. This great truth is probably caused by the fact that the Caucasian Americans continue to consider the African-American a problem and not a map. The Baltimore Sun on Tuesday printed a lot of lies, and two cartoons, which it untruthfully claimed were taken from life, to arouse race prejudice and make it count against the Republicans in the present campaign. It was a low, dirty piece of work. After completing 63 years as a servant in one family a Caucasian woman is dead at Chester, Pa., at the age of 93 years. The Afro-American servant who died at an advanced age held the center of the stage for many years, but he must look to his laurels. The New York Times has called down Mr. Gorman for the prominence he gave the race issue in his speech at the Republican convention. If the Democrats put the race issue in their platform next year Republican success is assured. Andrew Board, an Afro-American machinist of Birmingham, Ala., has sold his patent car coupler for $100,000 and a royalty for 17 years. He's helping the race to "make good." And now they claim that universal suffrage in Hawaii is a failure. The principal trouble seems to be that the Caucasians do not get all of the offices. Everybody says let the oppressed Jews come in, but few have kind words for the oppressed Afro-Americans of the South—to the manor born. Some statistician has discovered that increased cost of living has made saving on $12 weekly impossible. That's no news to many of us. The American Lynch Law Association of which John Temple Graves is a THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. valued member, is making a strong campaign in Germany. And now peonage has been discovered in South Carolina. The Palmetto State is the hot bed of all kinds of crime. Under the working of the alleged Constitution of Virginia, Richmond has about 1,000 Afro-American voters. The acquittal of Tillman, charged with murder, means that South Carolina is still in a state of barbarism. LIKE HELEN BISHOP CASE For Which Geo. White Was Burned at the Stake. Wilmington, Del—Mary Kosikoski, 13 years old, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kosikoski, Poles, was found dead in a ditch within a few squares of her home, 123 Bradford street, in South Wilmington. A postmortem examination by Coroner's Physician J. W. Bastian showed that the crime been criminally assaulted and then drowned. Frank Smith, a Pole, who has been serving in the United States navy, is locked up at the police station on suspicion. The hideous crime is similar in some respects to the murder of Miss Helen S. Bishop, for which crime George Smith was taken from the New Castle county workhouse and burned at the stake. UNKNOWN WHITE MAN ACCUSED Gave a Colored Harlot an Overdose of Morphine. Coroner Nevitt held an inquest yesterday in the case of Mamie Brown the colored girl who died in the Emergency Hospital on September 19, from the effects of an overdose of opium. The inquest was also a responsibility for the woman's death on "some unknown white man." The witnesses in the case, who were inmates of the same house on Thirteen-and-a-half street, where Mamie Brown received the fatal dose of morphine, paid to the house on the night in question by the man who used his morphine syringe so freely.

Grier Secured Information for Blackmailing, It Is Asserted. Special to Cincinnati Enquirer. New York—The police declare that "Dr." Fred Grier, who was held today by Magistrate Barlow in the Jefferson Market police court on a charge of vagrancy, is the inventor of a novel method of blackmail. According to the detectives, Grier made a practice of concealing himself near the women's confessional booths in the Jefferson Market district with exposure on the ground of parts of their confessions that he overheard. He is said to have derived a fair income from this practice. To a House of III Fame and Obtained Her Money. Local item in Cincinnati Enquirer.

He offered to secure Clara Hending, of Newport, a job for her and she later staged her house a housebank and she was refused. The house was raided and Campbell's connection with the affair developed in the police court yesterday. Little Girl Assaulted and Murdered.

Organized Labor, By John Mitchell. $17.50 Philadelphia, American Book $17.50 Philadelphia, American Book What particularly impresses the reader of this book is the broad grasp which Mr. Mitchell has shown. Mr. Mitchell, at the end of the period, has also probably the greatest leader which organized labor has had in this country, still attempts to take up the problem from the point of view of the patriotic citizen. His point of view is that of the general public. Mr. Mitchell does not shrink the discussion of the weak points of labor organizations, and is especially eloquent in his own words of folklore in these cases. There are a number of chapters taking up the arguments against Trade Unionism as well as proposed plans for benefiting the conditions of the workman. Mr. Mitchell takes up in details the question of strikes and proposes a method of媛球 may be prevented, or at least minimized. There are half a dozen chapters dealing with the coal strike of 1902, giving the sex of the strike from the inside. Mr. Mitchell stated that the strike being the first of the banking. August the strike was about to collapse, and that if energetic action had not been taken at this time by the operators, the strike would have been lost. He was the history of the strike in the story of victory was snatched from defeat. It is told in a graphic and eloquent manner by the author. HISTORY OF THE GERMAN STRUGUE FOR GERTY History of the German Struggle for Liberty. By Poulney Bigelow. Volume 3. New York: HarperCollins. While the literature of Germany leads the world in advanced thought concerning the nature of war, the biology of it, is absolutely barren as to biographies of the men who were prominent in the war, which began immediately following the battle of terloo, and ended in 1848. The author describes the German literature of men above medicine ability who took part in that movement, and describes the interest of interesting into thousand of pages of dead records of the past to obey the information desired, not a page of which was not obeyed, the reminiscence or anecdote of the leaders of that movement. To say this popular uprising of the people was never sanctioned by those in power, and its leaders were not aware of the importance of there were many advocates, but the pen of the censor prohibited the circulation of documents urging any change in the preoccupation of the nation's archy. The censor even went so far as to ban patriots, subsequently suspected, gave thanks that their papers and household were destroyed either by fire or other disaster. With this dearth of material to work upon the student can fully appreciate the importance of learning upon himself to acquire data from which to accurately describe this momentous change. To accomplish this work well is apparent to any one who will read this volume; and no better encomium can be given than to say it will be useful to the student in industry and literary ability' in presenting for the first time a faithful history of the struggle of the German people for these causes. ANTISEMITISM Antisemitism. By Bernard Lazare, Translated from the French, 8vo. Pp. 384. Cloth gilt top. $2. New York: International Library Publishing Co. Recent events in Russia have given this book a peculiar timeliness. It is a translation from the French, and its pages must have been written many months before those outbreaks gave a most painful interest to the Jewish question. The author is himself a Hebrew, and subject to all the odium that is implied in the title to his book, but this circumstance does not seem to have biased his judgment in the forming of his opinions. The case is certainly stated with great candor, and the blame is distributed with fairness. The fault is found to be not all on the part of the Gentile world, but the Israelite himself is charged with having brought much of the trouble to his people by manifest shortcomings. The treatment given the subject is historical. In successive chapters the relations between Jews and Gentiles are traced from the earliest times. Perhaps the reader will be most surprised to learn how much of proselyting has been carried on reciprocally between the Hebrews and their neighbors. From this has resulted a greater mixture of race than Jews would, perhaps, willingly admit. The author does not believe in race distinctions whether these be founded upon language, shape of the head, or color of the skin. So long, however, as the opinion prevails that races are distinct and that there is superiority on the one part and inferiority on the other part there is likely to be trouble between Jews and Gentile as well as between black and white. There are too many illustrated examples of this in the current historical and this country, and this book can be read with profit by many who are called upon to decide questions daily arising here. CIVIL WAR TIMES Civil War Times. By Daniel Walt Howe, author of the Puritan Republic, *The War of 1615*. $1.50. Indianapolis: Dobbins-Merrill Corp. The war of '61-5 will never cease—at least for now.

Chairman of the executive committee of the National Afro-American council said in a recent speech: "Let us develop many character. Our teachers and preachers must lay great stress upon virtue, both by precept and example. The standard of morality must be lifted high, and all kinds of immorality discountenanced. Every colored man who can possibly do so should own his own home. We must enter every avenue of business, --- * * * nent deadly breach"; its long and dreadful marches; its Gettysburg and Chickmaugas; because the finale of that symposium, the information of the world; because its echoes still reverberate in all the various activities of American life. These things the author's volume is interesting. It can be read with profit by any one and many incider to be read and read to the other. It is not only remained to be written, is brought forth by Mr. Howe. One of the most interesting chapters is the volume of the working with the relation of the Confederacy toward the "Negro Soldier." The author tells us that, when every important event is possible, the gender is for the sale of the sale of the environment of black soldiers; that the matter was finally debated in the Confederate Senate, and the following were estimated by the negro soldiers was defeated by but one vote that of Senator Hunter. That when the desperate circumstances of the Confederacy were due to the loss of the "cause," a draft of Richmond, and the black soldier to fight under to force the massakery of the Confederate. The effect of the new effective, the fall of Richmond, and the fight of Jefferson Davis was at hand. This chapter is especially interesting at the point of view of the new new standards of the Canada of the Southern people, to debate the Negro, whom they were perfectly willing in the last desperate strait of the confiscation to enlist as a soldier, under its banner. There are other very interesting chapters of the book, the style is clear, unvolved and natural, and the author has written instructively.

By Charles Burr Todd, author of the "The Aronde" book, "A.Ch. Illustrated," etc. $1,20. New York: A.C.S. Barnes & Co. The "real" and "true" people seem to have the front of the stage just now. An unpleasant impression is prevailed in many workers that the Benedict Arnold has not been fairly treated, that his services to his country were ignored and his great fault was not over-emphasized per-day. But it was not over-emphasized per-day to the country for surpasses the other great treachery to one's friend and is not to be condoned in any wise. There may be, however, certain circumstances which express need and modify the bitter condemnation. While not condoning Arnold's treason, Mr. Todd emphasizes his invaluable service to America, and shows conclusively that the two classes of the World Colonies: first at the battle of Valour's Island on Lake Champlain (the first naval battle, by the way, in which our arms are engaged), their war, the respite of war, and the loss of the British such wholes, some respect for American arms that they gave up their plan of invasion from the north that year; second, by raising the college from the sea to the sea, the Valley and putting to flight St. Luger's invading army marching to aid Burgoyne, and third and fourth by winning the two battles of Ararotaga, which conjoined, but not included in the one of the fifteen decisive battles of the world. Mr. Todd also shows that it was the influence of Arnold's wife and his fear of losing her should her treasable correspondence with the British officers be discovered, which induced Arno's to betray his country, and not the gross injustice of Congress nor the calamities of paper generals—the motives generally asberibed. The book is an original and unique contribution to revolutionary history. The illustrations are interesting to instructive, especially noteworthy in the reproduction of an old print representing the burning of Arnold in amigo. As death drew near, it is said his mind wandered, and he was again in America, fighting his battles with Washington and his old comrades in arms. In a lucid interval he asked that his Continental uniform of a major-general, in which he had escaped to the "Vulture," and which he had ever cherished, might be brought and put on him, with the panelists and swordknots which Washington had given him as the bravest of the have. "I have died in my old American uniform," he said. "The uniform in which I fought my battles.

At the Metropolitan Opera House, St Paul "The Tenderfoot" is a musical comedy by Richard Carle and H. L. Heartz, is the attraction announced for one week at the Metropolitan opera house, commencing tomorrow night. There will be the usual matinee Wednesday and Saturday. Richard Carle, the director star, is an American thirty-three years old, who has given the stage many musical comedies and operetta successes. "The Tenderfoot" has been referred to as "Arizona set to music," a phrase that implies the atmospheric director star is there in abundance. There are Mexicans, cowboys, dusky Indians, the quaint Chinaman, the blue-shirted alkali-dust rangers of Texas, senatoris from over the border, pretty girls from Texas and Mexico, who is companying a party of seminary girls on a tour of the West. The scenes are laid in Texas. H. L. Heartz, the composer of "1492," "Jack and the Beanstalk," "Miss Simplify," Frank Danels' late success, "The Show Girl," is responsible for the success of the companying a party to Richard Carle, Edmund Stanley, Henry Norman Charles Wayne, William B.

At the Grand Opera House. The patrons of the Grand opera house who can enjoy an artistic performance will have a treat in store for them next week in the production of James A. Herne's famous drama "Shore Acres," a play by the acclaimed success throughout the country, this being its twelfth consecutive season, and many predict that, like "Uncle Tom's Cabin," it will live forever. Unlike other New England plays, it does not depend on chapels or churches, but on singers for its success, but on its story, and the actors who interpret it. It is because of its simplicity that America's greatest critics have called it an American classic, and called its author America's ables play right, with its poetic poem, and so long as right living and honest purpose dominates the heart of our citizens, just so long will plays of this type appeal to play goers. hT company engaged for the interpretation of the strongest that could be bad, and the performance is sure to please. Mr. James T. Galloway is still playing Uncle Nat, and Mr. Atkins Lawrence is the Martin Berry, Miss Challis Winslow, and Mr. McCabe as Ann Berry. The entire production is under the direction of Mrs. James Herne. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. Correct Clothes for Men and Boys.

CLIFFORD A. SMITH. A Progressive Young Man Goes Into Business for Himself. Mr. Clifford A. Smith was born, bored and educated in Chicago. He learned the tailor trade and came to St. Paul some years ago, and for the last four years he worked in the fashionable and popular tailors. Reid Brothers. Believing that he can use his knowledge to a better advantage by doing business for himself Clifford A. Smith. he has opened a neat tailor shop in room 412 Bradley Building, on Fifth street between Wabasha and Cedar, where he is prepared to do anything in the line of his business. Gentlemen wishing style well, he will give him an order for their fall and winter suits and overcoats. Suit or overcoat finished in five days after order is placed. Quality, fit and finish guaranteed. SEEKING THE WRONG REMEDY. The gentlemen who write long editorials and indie learned articles for the magazines on the "nameless crime" and the remedy therefor, may be scholars and statesmen, but they are not practical by any means. Let any man lay down his own premises and he can produce an accurate, able arguments. The trouble is, the premises are incorrect. For instance, the better element of the colored race for not teaching these people better, for not pointing out to them, not only the wrong, but the danger of such things; some writers go so far as to say that the respectable element rather shows an inclination protect, or at least to sympathize with the rapist. This may prove true in some cases but doubt it in at least doubt that any well educated or respectable Negro ever does this. But the point we make is this—the class of Negroes given to these outrages never go inside of a church; they never attend school; they never hear, much less read, books; they never be reached. Last week at the meeting of the Rowan Baptist Association, composed of colored people, held in this place, some strong talks were made and papers read, and the committee termed, yet how much good was done? Not a man of the class sought to be reached was in the house. It can be said that others could talk to them even if they do not attend a church or any school, but they are isolated from the best element of their race; in fact, the ignorant Negro gets it into his head that his brother who knows something is "stuck up" and don't want to know him, natural and unnatural, people get them ideas in their heads, so that it is impossible to reach these classes. Sifted down, the cure lies in education—in school and everywhere, but the first thing is education, for school, he will learn these things, even if he cannot be taught to "read, write or cipher"; but the point ```markdown ``` Kuppenheimer Clothes Gordon Hate ng Stock. on the Dollar. alf-Price much worse than much less Clothing.

The Legal and Legislative Bureau of the National Afro-American Council is out in a circular asking contributions to a fund to be used in bringing the case of Rev. H. T. Johnson, plaintiff (Boehring, 1995). The case was the Pulman Company, before the supreme court of the United States. The case was recently tried in the federal court in New Jersey, and a jury awarded the plaintiff a verdict for the sum of $500, on May 18, 1903. The judge before whom the case was tried, entered an agreement giving the Pulman company judgment. Mr. Johnson was refused breakfast on a dining car operated by the Pullman Company, on the Seaboard Air Line Railroad. There is an urgent demand for money to press this suit, and any contribution may be sent to the Justice Department, Washington, D. C.; J. Madison Vance, Director, New Orleans, La.; F. L. McGee, Vice Chair, St. Paul, Minn. Used in 1858. Way back in the year 1858 the Original Ozonized Ox Marrow was used by Afro-Americans in the North and is now used all over the country from Maine to Texas and Oregon to Florida. The continued use of the preparation for such foods is not a good proof that it gives perfect satisfaction to all. It makes kinky or curly hair straight, soft and beautiful. Stops falling hair, cures dandruff and makes the hair grow. Never fails. Warranted harmless. Only 50 cents a bottle. Get it from our warehouse and will ship a bottle express paid. Address Ozonized Ox Marrow Co., 76 Wabash ave. Chicago, Ill. 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. OXYDONOR 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 force that overcomes disease. ONE OXYDONOR will serve the family. It cures you while you rest, and its results are equally efficacious for the infant and grandisse. The following testimonial, one of many hundreds, testifies as to the efficiency of the Oxydonor: Dr. C. S. Wilson, Jan. 28, 1903. I take great pleasure in notifying you that I have given the Oxydonor a thorough test lately, when my wife was sick with La Gripe, Bronchitis, and a touch of Pneumonia. It was a severe attack, accompanied by a high fever, but I had no doubts about the outcome. But to my surprise the Oxydonor worked like magic; I had to use it in for 35 hours, but it conquered the disease. Applying the Oxydonor two more nights perfected the cure. Yours very gratefully. Anyone wishing to investigate further in regard to the Oxydonor should call on or communicate with Dr. C. S. Wilson, 611 N. Y. Life Bldg. St. Paul, Minn. Mr. Harvey B.

Cannon of Illinois will become the most powerful man in the United States, barring only the president. As speaker of the House of Representatives he will have. (to quote a remark made by the late Thomas B. Reed), "no peer and only one superior." Over legislation his control will be so absolute that no measure of importance can be enacted into law unless it meets with his personal approval. Down state Republican leaders agree that comparatively few delegations will be instructed in the next Republican state convention and that few early county conventions will be held next year. All eyes are upon Cook county, apparently, and the country politicians are wary of committing themselves before they get a line on the Deneen-Lewen fight in Chicago. Governor Yates addressed a large crowd at Urbana, Ill., and decreed the recent outbreaks of mob violence, and declared that if it took every soldier in the state to uphold the majesty of the law, they would be ordered out. The people are with Theodore Roosevelt. He is the most strenuous, daring, picturesque president the country has ever had. He will be nominated and elected President of the United States in 1904. The Hamilton Club is preparing to appoint a committee to go to Washington next month to work for the next Republican national convention. The committee wants Chicago named as the convention city.
