The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3- Its correspondents are able and energetic. VOL. 19. NO. 48 HAD RIDDLE SOLVED SAD FATE OF INVENTOR OF PER-PETUAL MOTION. Fifty Years Age the idea Was Shown to Be Feasible, but the Wise Men of the Day Scoffed—and Humanity's Benefactor Died. If there be any one negative proposition in mechanics that is held to be undeniable by the entire scientific world, it is that it is not possible to construct a perpetual motion machine. And by a perpetual motion machine, taking it in its simplest form, is meant a piece of mechanism which will remain indefinitely in continual motion by the action of the attraction of gravitation. Nevertheless no less a person than Mr. David M. Stone, who was for many years the editor of the Journal of Commerce, and whose personal character has always been above suspicion, is the authority for the positive statement that he had in his possession for several weeks, about fifty years ago, a machine of precisely that sort. He declared that the files of the Journal of Commerce of about 1852 contained a full account of the machine, by fire, and he told the story from memory. "However," he declared, "I remember the facts perfectly. "About 1852 an old man, perhaps 80 years old, brought the machine to my office to show to me. It was constructed about like this. I think there were six of the hollow arms. In each one was a little ball. The arms were not rigid fixed, but had a little play. As the cylinder revolved the balls rolled. Thus, the balls in the arms on the right were always an inch or so further from the center than those on the left and they counterbalanced the weight of the arms themselves, the whole machine was always, therefore, heavier on the right on the left, and so it always revolved. I think there was also a spring in each arm that helped the reaction of the ball, but I cannot recollect the arrangement of the springs. Then there was a pendulum that was geared to regulate the speed. If it was disconnected the machine went faster and faster till the centrifugal force kept all the little balls at one spot, and then it would go slower and slower till it stopped. I tried that once, and started it again with my finger. "Well, I kept that machine in my office for several weeks, under my own private lock, to make sure that there was no trick about it, and it went right along. The Journal of Commerce printed an account of it, and was ridiculed unmercifully in consequence, but the machine kept right on going. The old man exhibited it at a fair in New Jersey, charging a small entrance fee, and some local scientific men—I think one of them was a Princeton professor—had him arrested for taking money under false pretenses. He was arraigned and the justice of the peace asked him what defense he had, and the old man said his only defense was that the machine did what he claimed. The justice was angry and asked him how he dared say that when these eminent gentlemen sware there must be a spring in it or it wouldn't go. In the old man said, "I have worked at it for forty years, and there is no spring in it, and it does so." "So they got an ax and chopped it up, and there was a great silence, for there was no spring. And the old man picked up the fragments and went away with the tears rolling down his face. And he died soon after."—New York Herald. Goth to Roman—A. D. 408.

The Seychelles islands, which now form a British colony, formerly belonged to the French, who transplanted on Mahe, the chief of the islands, cinnamon, cloves and nutmegs from Mauritius in the hope of wresting the lucrative spice monopoly from the Dutch colonies. When war broke out between England and France in 1788 the governor of the islands gave orders that in the event of an attack the spice plantations were to be destroyed. Soon afterward a French ship from Madagascar visited Mahe to take in wood and water and the captain, fearing the English might be in possession adopted the ruse of the French to attack the ship. The reason was that the officer in charge of the island, having no troops for its defense, set fire to the whole of the spice trees, which had previously been rounded with inflammable material. It was not till 1794 that Mahe was captured by the British. THE APPEAL. COMMON SENSE NOT USUAL Amusing Comment Made by Justice of the People I remember that once a boy named John Buchanan and myself were pimping tops in front of Major Smith's office, and the major came out and said to Buchanan: "Here is a box of figs. So if you can strike it with your top. If so, I will give you a quarter." "Done," said Buck; "I have got your quarter." "All right, if you have it," said the major, "because I haven't got it." "I will keep this box as security," exclaimed Buck. "I don't care a fig if you do," returned the major. I heard the major tell of a "cracker" justice of the peace who came to him for advice. Said the justice of the peace: "See here, Lawyer Smith, I gave a case on like this: two young lawyers each argued his respective side of this 'tarnal case, but neither one cited a precedent. Now I just decides all cases by counting the number of precedents cited, right hand for plaintiff and left hand fingers for defendant. Now, I have a case of if someone stinks him, g'me anything to hang a decision on!" The major told him to decide according to common sense. "I never hear tell o' no court decision based on no common sense before," said the justice of the peace. The major said that the more he reflected upon the matter the more convinced he became that the justice of the peace was right—Baltimore Sun. FEW CHANGES IN FASHION. Costumes Worn by Chinese Women Seldom Vary. Chinese ladies never rejoice in the dainty fashions of pretty cottonads, as their European sisters do, but year in year out they are attired in silk, for cotton is of no account in the Celestial Empire, being considered only fit for the coolies, who dress in it entirely. Chinese dress does not call for any great ingenuity on the part of the makers, for in form it is always the same. A lady's first garment is a plain piece of silk liskened round the waist to form an apron, which laps over at the back. In the place of this poor woman we wear a sleeveless cover for the chest, but has no back. Next come the underjacket and the overjacket, the trousers, the apron and the footwear. The last consists of handages and tiny shoes for the "little footed" or a "cotton boot" and shoes of sensible size for the uncrippled peasant woman. In cold weather the number of jackets worn is increased, the heaviest being outermost, which is padded and quilted or fur lined. For outdoor wear a sleeveless overjacket, known as a sweatshirt, and back," is used—Washington Star. A Sincere Compliment Richard Mansfield has, like many other men, a host of enemies. One of these enemies paid him a very sincere compliment last year. Mr. Mansfield was playing in "Beaucaire," and the enemy, a stage carpenter, peered at him from the wings of a theater scorpion first, but gradually less scornfully. And, as the act progressed, the carpenter, though he hated the actor, became more and more absorbed. He stood silent and rigid. He watched every gesture, he observed every intonation of the star. And finally, when the curtain fell, he exclaimed, with fushed cheeks and a little tremor in his voice. "Darn him, that man could act a gridiron." Premier Balfour's Mildness Premier earl's milions. Mr Balfour, prime minister of Great Britain, is on his favorite golf links at North Berwick or St. Andrews the strongest expelive that has ever come from the lips is said to be "Dear me!" Arriving after dark at a large railway station one day Mr. Balfour set his traveling bag down on a bench while he went to make a purchase at a bookstall. On returning to the bench he took up his bag and made the unpleasant discovery that during his absence the bottom was cut out and the front was left "Dear me!" exclaimed the statesman, with a melancholy smile, "it is evident that there is something radically wrong about this bag." As to Precedents. Before an Iola justice of the peace the other day a man was tried on the charge of stealing hogs. After the evidence was in his attorney pleaded that his client had stolen pig, not hog, and that he was in support of this contention he cited a Supreme court decision which released a man who was charged with stealing a stallion when it was shown that the horse was a golding. The judge took down Webster's dictionary and read that a pig is a hog. He said if the Supreme court thought a pig was stealing, it could appeal. "For my part," he said, "I'm going to stand by old Noah."—Kansas City Journal. To-night. I held you to-night With the music of the dance on your beautiful face.

Defective Page Evolution of the Trotter How American Breeders in Fifty Years Have Brought to Perfection the Greatest and Most Useful Type of Horse the Cunning of Man Has Yet Produced. Match Race Between Ethan Allen and Mate and Dexter to High-Wheel Sulky. Ethan Allen and George M. Patchen in Skeleton Wagons. Great nations produce great horses. The higher the civilization the purer are the equine breeds. In the ancient as well as the modern world this rule holds true, and the foremost races of men have always possessed the highest types of breeds of animal life. A stranger who witnessed light harness sport, say, for the first time at Memphis recently, and who saw Lon Dillon tilt in 1:38.3% Major Delmar in 1:59% and Dan Patch pace in 1:56% would naturally ask, how are these horses bred, and how long it has taken to bring the breed to such perfect speed perfection? He would be astonished to learn that the breed did not exist half a century ago; that at 2:30 was thought to have the speed of the rotting races were rare, while now the continent is studded with stock farms, with many millions invested; that about 1,500 meetings are held annually, at which $5,000,000 in stakes and purses are competed for, and that just as all countries go to England for the thoroughbred, so all the civilized world comes to America for the trotter. As speed is the test of the progress of the breed, and the record at the wire the proof of quality and value, it Match 'Race' Between will be of interest to note the development from the date when the famous Lady Suffolk first trotted in 2:30 or better in 1845 to the present time, when the record is 1:58¹. On Oct. 13, 1845, the little gray mare Lady Suffolk, at the Beacon course, Hoboken, N. J. trotted in 2:29¹. Through her engineer, Engineer, and the sire of her lam, Don Quixote, she traced direct back to Messenger. In 1849 Pelham, of unknown pedigree, reduced the record to 2:28. He was a converted spacer, which shows that even at that early period the interchangeability of the gaits was understood. Highland Maid, another exponent, Highland Maid, induced the record 27. The same mature mare, Flower Temple, who over the Union course, East New York, driven by that first great knight of the sully, Hiram Woodruff, went under the wire in 2:42¹. Flora Temple continued her victorious career till she, at Kalamazoo, Mich., on Oct. 15, 1859, trotted in 2:19¹, being the first of her race to get below 2:20. Ethan All The record was hailed as the limit at the gait, while a few visionaries talked of a possible 2:10, while here and there was an enthusiast who talked of two minutes. In 1867 the brown golding Dexter, by Hambletonian 10, dam Clara, by American Star, at Buffalo, N. Y. cut the record to 2:17¾. He was driven by Budd Doble, then a young man and still on the turf in 1868, on green old years and would in all probability have reduced his record, but he was then bought by the late Robert Bonner for $3,000 and at once retired. Four years later that most wonderful of all 'trotting mares; Goldsmith Maid, also driven by Budd Doble, went in 2:17. From year to year she cut down her time till, on Discouraging. "Did you make any impression on the young professor?" "Goodness, no! Three of his aunts, his sister and a cousin were there listening to every word I said to him."—Detroit Free Press. Stubborn. "Yo' nebbah had eny experience wid wives, did yo', bruddah?" asked henpecked Remus. "No, sah," replied Sam, "but I've raised mules."—Chicago News. Sept. 2, 1874, at Mystic Park, Boston, when 17 years old, she placed the trotting record at 2:14. In those days the sulkies weighed seventy-five pounds, the tracks were not improved and Doble is firmly of the opinion to day that the marvelous Maid, had she been on the track at the present time, would have been an "inbred," being by Abballhan 15, a son of Hamiltonian, while her dam was Ab, by Abballhan 1, the sire of Hamiltonian. While the number of fast horses steadily increased and the stock farms were not only increasing their output, but breeding more intelligently for the great object in view, the record was not again broken till Aug. 3, 1878, when John Spain, at Buffalo, trotted Rams in 2:134. In 2:135, another bought him for $5,000 and sent him to his stables, where he had previously sent Dexter. These sensational prices gave additional impetus to the great breeding interests, and from that time on the record moved down rapidly. In 1879 St. Julien, by Volunteer he by Hambletonian, at Oakland, Cal., went in 2:12%, and later reduced it to 2:11%. Then came that great queen of the Ethan Allen and Mate and Dexter to trotting turt, Maud Sq. by Harold. Harold was by Hambletonian, dam Enchantress, by Abdallah I, the sire of Hambletonian. On Aug. 12, 1888, at Rochester, N. Y., she trotted in 2.11%, and then went on to 2.10%; 2.10% and 2.10%, and the trotting world saw that 2.10 was in sight. Everybody looked for the great daughter of Harold to do it. But out of the west came the black whirlwind, Jay- Eye-See, who at Providence, R. I, Aug. 1.188, she placed the record at 2.10. Jay- Eye-See was by Dietator (brother to Dexter, 2.17%), by Hambletonian. He was the monarch of a day, for at Cleveland on Aug. 12, he again gained her horne. Her third trumped a year later, when over the same track she cut the record down to 2.98%. W. M. H. Vanderbilt had in the meantime sold her to Robert Bonner for $40,000, and she was duly retired. It has always been a universal regret that this great mare never had a foal. The last of the old high-wheel sulky champions n and George M. Patchen in Skeleton W was Sunol, who in 1891 over the kite track at Stockton, Cal., went in 2:08:48, and again Mr. Bonner's desire to own champions was so great that he paid $41,000 for her. The marvelous speed achieved by bicyclists led horsemen and the manufacturers of sulkies to conceive the idea that the small tire wheel would get round turn quicker, and that there would be far less resistance than with the old high wheels, with the tires. They were introduced in 1892, and there was once a startling reduction in time. Nancy Hanks, who in 1891 had truited in 2.09 with the old wheels, in 1892 in a grand series of performances successively reduced her record to 2.04. She is by Happy Medium, dam Nancy Lee, by Dictator, both of Hamiltonian. Two He Did.

She—It's a couple of hours to late for that.—Smart Set. years clapsed before there was any reduction, and then came to the front the beautiful and symmetrical mare, Alix, by long odds the greatest combination of speed, proportion, style and quality which had yet appeared upon the trotting turf. After a grand racing career, in which she defeated all comers, at Galesburg, III., Sept. 19, 1894, she trotted in 2.03%. For six years the battle was waged against time and every assault was a failure until the pristices of finality declared that the time limit had been reached at last. The mares had certainly had a long-reign, but with the new century the records began to go with startling rapidity. By Chimes, a grandson of Hambletonian, on September 25, 1900, clipped half a second of the record, and a second on July 26, 1901, at Cleveland. O the mighty Crescentus, the first stallion to win the world trotting record, shot under the wire in 2.02%. A week later, at Columbus, he cut it to 2.02%. When the season of 1903 opened even in the best informed circles, there was not the slightest expectation of success. The only major Delmar had a record of 2:05%. High-Wheel Sulky. but no one saw in him a future champion. Lou Dillon was an unknown quantity. Her pedigree goes up to Tambubetian through Shirley Dillon and Happy Medium, though about 50 per cent of her pedigree is unknown as thornhredbred. At Readville, Mass., on August 24, she trotted in 2.00 and thus realized the dreams of the enthusiasts who have predicted that time as the ultimate limit. This looked like glory enough for one season, but in the meantime a new star had appeared in the bay geiding Major Delmar, who had entered the ring in a fight to a finish with Father Time. Starting the season with a record of 5.05% in a series of brilliant performances, he cut it down until finally on Sept. 25, at the Empire City track, he went in 2.00 and divided regal honors with Lou Dillon. Major Delmar belongs to the Electoneer-Wilkes branch of the trotting family. This looked like the climax, but nature rarely stays still. On October agons. 20, at Wichita, Cresceus trotted in 1.58% and Oct. 24, Lou Dillon regained her throne by trotting in 1.58%. The story of the trotter would be incomplete without a note as to his value. The highest price ever paid for a trotter was $125,000, at which figure J. Malcolm Forbes, at the trotter Arton, 2.19% of the late Senator Leland Stanford. While a few thoroughbreds have been sold at a higher figure, this is still the high water mark for a 2-year-old of any breed. Axell, 2.12, the champion three-year-old stallion of his time, brought $105,000, and $150,000 was refused his full stall companion, $15,000.

Superstitions by No Means Confined Solely to Women. People often wonder that palmistry, clairvoyance and fortune-telling by cards should be so popular in these days of enlightened religion and science, when superstition ought to have died out. But the love of mystery and the supernatural lies inherent in human nature. Even in the ancient world, a pure reason reigned in France superstitious practices were not confined to women. In Napoleon's army, if a soldier's shako was blown off at the beginning of an action, or a bullet killed his companions on each side, he imagined himself invulnerable for the rest of the day. The great philosopher Diderot used to try the old woman's practice of seeking an answer to his wish in the pages of a book opened at random. James Rousseau throw stones against the trees by the roadside, saying to him that when they hit the goal it meant salvation, when they missed, eternal damnation to him. Napoleon himself believed in his star. Another of his generals finding his pipe, his flask and the portrait of his wife all broken together one day, announced formally to his aid-de-camp that he would die the next day in bed, enough he was killed by a common ball.

In the year 1901, the latest for which statistics are available, no fewer than 35,033 persons were reported missing to the London metropolitan police. Even if we make all reasonable deduction for aged and illiterate persons, wandering out of their way, and children that have been lost through the carelessness of servants of their own mischievous propensities, there will still remain a body of some thousands of persons who annually disappear from the view of their friends. Moreover, there is in London a considerable number of men and women who, practically speaking, have no friends, or at least they have discontinued correspondence with their re-relationship. The number of these who disappear is beyond computation. Everybody has known instances of people disappearing from their circle, but the probability is that such an occurrence is followed by the vanishing gentleman or lady turning up some where else, so that it is idle to raise any suspicion of suicide, mental abstraction or crime. -Country Life.

They Have Been Quick to Learn That Toilet Preparations Contain Intoxicants, and the Demand for the Decoctions is Enormous. Eau de cologne and other toilet preparations are doing a great deal of harm among the Indians of Peace River district in Northwestern Canada, according to a member of the Canadian Geological Survey who has just returned from a visit to that region. The harm comes from the fact that the Indians drink them. Cologne and various other concoctions known as Florida water, essence of ginger and essence of peppermint are prepared especially for internal use by traders, who are not permitted to sell whisky to the Indians. The stuff is in reality nine-tenths pure alcohol. J. M. Macoum of the Canadian Survey says that the traffic in alcohol thus disguised has become such a serious matter that the missionaries have become discouraged and the business of the Hudson Bay Company promises to be embarrassed. The Indians have learned that the sweet spelling things are to drink and are not to be wasted as exterior ornaments. If one were the Dominion of the United States, importations, one would suppose that the Indian half-breeds of the Northwest had suddenly developed a remarkable fondness for cleanliness, for the customs reports show an unusual increase in the quantity of toilet water imported. Most of these preparations come from the United States. According to Mr. Macoum, the effects of drinking these preparations are very serious. The cologne is especially injurious, as it has shown a tendency to affect the eyesight of Indians drinking it continuously. An Indian who has drunk a pint bottle of cologne contracts a bag which is red and swollen and of ten Manhattan cocktails to shame. The prevailing tint of everything, according to a few intelligent half-breeds who had used cologne, was a beautiful green, of varying shades. Mr. Macoum also asserts that he took one drink: of cologne just to see what sort of stuff the Indians were drinking and found it so sweet and nauseating, and at the same time so burning hot, that he was glad to end his experiments. The essence of peppermint water, if taken in moderate quantities, and the essence of ginger juice, if taken in moderate quantities, seemed to be opposed to the rigor of the northern climates, but it would be far better to secure unadulterated essences prepared at a chemist's, rather than to drink the stuff prepared for the Indians and half-breeds.

The world to hear that he never lost his power of sleeping after the most exciting nights in Parliament. But in his diary for 1852 he writes: "Nervous excitement kept me wakeful after speaking, the first time for many years." Twenty years later he had several spells of sleeplessness. He characteristically explains that it was not the lack of sleep that troubled him but the consequent state of his brain next morning. At other times he was afflicted with neuralgic attacks. His eyes (magnificent to look at) were so blurry that he could not, over, supplies abundant proof of his possession of a vital force not to be measured by any physical standard. He could conquer weakness by indomitable will, and indulge in feats of endurance which would have been dangerous but for his splendid powers of recuperation. When greatly troubled he seems to have found the relief he required in talking it all over with Catherine, his devoted wife. New Mountaineering Records Mountaineering records have recently been broken in two respects in the Hunza Nagar peaks of the Himalayas on the northwest frontier of India. For four years past Mr. and Mrs. Bullock Workman have been carrying on climbing operations in those parts with the aid of Swiss guides and Aug. 12 last Dr. Workman and two guides climbed an unnamed peak near the Chogo Loonga glacier to a height of 28,394 feet.

Mount Everest, however, the highest peak in the world, still remains unconquered. On the same day Mrs. Bullock Workman climbed a 28,083 feet peak, breaks the previous record for women—held by herself—by 1,568 feet.

The outrusive, ill-mannered and objectionable Negro is offensive to the intelligent Negro. If that be true why does not the intelligent Negro assert himself; why does he forever take the part of the rowdy and the criminal and denounce as cruelty the punishment inflicted upon them? The whites do not identify themselves with crime and criminals. The Negroes do. There is your race issue." The above is from the Washington Post, which sees things through very prejudiced eyes. Yes, to intelligent Afro-Americans "ill-mannered and objectional" persons of whatever nationality, are offensive; but it is untrue that they "forever take part of the rowdy and criminal" Afro-Americans. The fact that an Afro-American is refined in dress and manner will secure for him little, if any, more consideration than is accorded to the lowest among us.

McRee, Frank McRee and William McRee of Valdosta entered a plea of guilty to indications charging them with penance, and Judge Speer sentenced them to pay a fine of $1,000. This looks a little like something is to be done to stop this system of slavery.

THE RACE QUESTION IN FRANCE. Paris, Oct. 22. — The French papers are full of Booker T. Washington, who is in Paris. They all call him a great man, and you read his biography in all of them. For the French a man is a man, no matter what his color is. One may meet a Negro walking with white man, and marriages between the whites and Negroes that one compels to speak of its propriety or impropriety; and, strange to say, all the colored people here are suitably dressed, without being overloaded with jewelry. When you talk here of the race question, the French look at you as if they did not know what you are like or dislike of a race is only a matter of education, and if you ask the stupid question of a Frenchwoman "Would you marry a Negro?" she will probably answer "Yes, why not?" or else say that she would refuse to marry a man, because he is not a race but, because he is opposed to marrying a Negro, as she would be to marrying a Jew; it is social position here, not race. Mr. Washington will be dined and wined by the best people, and this will be done because he has an honorable record, because he is made man and, once, he will be well as well as Pleter Pontger Morgan or Carnegie—Emma Bulet in Brooklyn Sunday Eagle. Identified A story illustrating his readiness of speech is told of Curran, the Irish witt. When Curran, who was a man of not very prepossessing appearance, presented himself one day at the house of a noble lord, who had not had the honor of his personal acquaintance, worship or exclaimed: You're the man you could not say 'boo' to a goose! "Boo, my lord!" replied the witt, coolly "Yes, yes; you are the man. Come in at once!"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Motor Cycles for British Soldiers. The British war office has under consideration a proposal for forty of the 155 privates of the Motor Volunteer corps, extensively used in the recent army maneuvers, to be motor-bloced. The proposal costs $7.53 a day when employed instead of the $7.50 paid to motor car owners. Labor-Saving Machine. A cotton-picker machine has been invented which, it is claimed, will save one-third of the crop and the wages of twenty-eight men. In the cotton zone 25,000 acres are devoted to cotton-crowing, and the average yield is 10,827 bales of 500 pounds each, worth $25,000 bales. First Use of Natural Gas Natural gas was first used in the iron furnaces of Pittsburgh in 1884. It soon took the place of thousands of tons of coal or coke daily, but in ten years it was supplanted for this purpose although it still remained in use along other lines. A High-Priced Job.

Koreans Are Poor In Korea the inhabitants are desperately poor, and wages are lower than in any part of the world that has any pretense to civilization. Sheep Farmer and Author. Haddon Chambers was a sheep farmer in Australia before trying his fortunes in London. In Chapter I, the author says, "If there was slavery, it was deprecated by the men who formed the Constitution who, recognize it as a constant with Christian civilization, inconsistently for which the colonies had contended, and which constitute the basis of our Republic, must be freed." The greatest charter a name so repulsive to freedom must conclude with the public sentiment of that day. There was no state law that it was injurious to society in no sense dependent upon sectionalism, and certainly confidently expected: emancipation from the rule of slavery or Moral law, it is not unreasonable to suppose that if there had been no inhibition of the African slave trade, emancipation would have been possible in Maryland, North Carolina, Kentucky and "Opposition to the institution of slavery arose from religious convictions as to its moral principles and policies. The resistance of those who with Mr. Jefferson condemned it because they believed it was an impotent as his, or succumbed to the violence of political forces; while that having an important part in the creation of a slave state was another denominations in the employment of moral influence for the eradication of slavery, though it was a waiting outspoken opposition in the Presbyterian Baptist and Methodist churches at an early date especially in Ohio.

This chapter imposes the order of this book is the broad leader of the Mitchell has shown. Mr. Mitchell al- so probably the greatest leader which organized labor has had in this country. He is the most important leader in the point of view of the patriotic citizen. His point of view is that of the general discussion of the weak points of labor organizations, and is especially eloquent in the discussion of the weak points of labor organizations. There are a number of chapters taking up the arguments against Trade Unionism as a condition of the work conditions of the workman. Mr. Mitchell takes up in detail the question of strikes that may be prevented, or at least minimized. There are half a dozen chapters deal- ing with the conditions of the strike from the inside. Mr. Mitchell states that at the beginning of the strike the workers had and that if energetic action had not been taken at this time by the operators of the history of the strike and the story of how victory was snatched from defeat is told in a graphic and eloquent manner by the --- HISTORY OF THE GERMAN STRUGGLE FOR LIBERTY History of the struggle for Liberty. By Poutney Bigelow. Volume 3. $25.25 net. New York: Harper & Brothers. Leads the world in advanced thought concerning philosophy, science, and even the histories of the men who were prominent in the struggle for liberty which began in the late 1840s and continued, and ended in 1848. The author feelingly states that no mention is made in German literature of men above mediation, and that his task has been one of interesting delving into thousands of historical events to obtain the information desired, not a page of which was enriched by a personal reminiscence or anecdote of the leaders It is needs to say this popular uprising is by those power, and its leaders were ruthlessly sent to prison. Nevertheless the censor prohibited the circulation of documents urging any change in the laws of the city, and arrethly. The censor even went so far as to conflate private papers, and several books, with documents that thanks that their papers and houshold possessions were destroyed either by fire. With this dearth of material to work upon, the student can fully appreciate how much he must upon himself to acquire data from which to accurately describe this momentous event. His work well is apparent to any one who will read this volume; and no better example of this kind stands as a monument to his unearthing industry and Literary ability in present- day Germany. The struggle of the German people for the rights of the working class. --- ANTISEMITISM ternational Library Publishing Co. has given this book a peculiar timeliness. It is a translation from the French and contains many months before those outbreaks gave a most difficult challenge. The author is himself a Hobrew, and subject to all the odium of the French, but he book this circumstance does not seem to have biopic opinions. The form in which stated sex with sander, and the fault is found to be not all on the part of the Gentile who has brought himself is charged with having brought a trouble to his people by manifold shortest The treatment given the subject is histioblasts between Jews and Gentiles are traced from the earliest times. Perhaps we learn how much of prescribing has been carried on reciprocally between the He-Nei and Gentiles, but has resulted a greater mixture of race than Jews would, perhaps, willingly add distinctions whether these be founded upon the skin, the hair, the color of the skin. So long, however, as the opinion prevails that races are distinct from each other, part and inferiority on the other part there is likely to be trouble between Jew and Gentile. There are too many illustrative examples of this in the current history to read with profit by many who are called to decide questions daily arising here. --- CIVIL WAR TIMES Some eight years ago Mr. Stoddard and I went to the island of Ascension as instructive, volume, which has since served as a valuable guide to travelers and has been used as a revision which was deemed necessary on account of the numerous changes, undertaken in the islands during the last decade, taken place in the islands during the last decade, and the fact of its being a book of travel, a most delightful study of our tropical neighbors, whose environments and inheritance have given us new romantic and picturesque people of the LORD POLPHIN Lord Dolphin.

THE STORY OF THE SLAVE Perth Amboy was New Jersey's chief port of entry, and blacks were to be seen in the city. They were freshly imported and still bearing their tribal marks. Adults sold from $200 to $300 for the first two months, known as redeemable servitude, existed in the seventies, this form was usually voluntary, and at the expiration of the term, was merged into the mass of white population without any special taint of servitude, the slave who were found to be cheaper than white servants, checked, in a means similar to the redemptionals. Many white servants shipped to New Jersey from the British Islands, and were sent to Perth Amboy, an act providing for the gradual abolition of slavery was passed by the legislature in 1820, not being about the complete emancipation that were but 18 in the entire state when Amboy, a proclamation of the state, issued in 1808, had proclaimed that Hobson, a member of the state senate, introduced the statutes the last vestige of slavery in New Jersey.

An unpleasant impression has prevailed that his military has not been fairly treated, that his services to his country were ignored and his insignificance has, but unreasonably punished. Treachery to one's country far surpasses the treachery to his country. Is it not to be condoned in any wise. There may be, however, certain circumstances that he four times saved and modify the bitter condemnation. While not condoning Arnold's treason, Mr. Todd emphasizes his invaluable service to the nation. He does not believe that he four times saved the cause of the Colonies: first at the battle of Valour's battle, by the way, in which our arms were engaged), where, by his desperate efforts, we were saved, and some respect for American arms that they gave up their plan of invasion from the siege of Fort Stanwix in the Mohawk Valley and putting to flight St. Lager's army, by the way, in the third and fourth by winning the two battles of Saratoga, which, conjoined, and third and fourth by winning the fifteen decisive battles of the world. --- "Two on Their Travels," by Ebfel Columbo, $2.50.

Each individual member of this company is a solo artist and an old time jubilee singer, and no expense has been spared in selecting from other LAWRENCE TABOURETTES CASH OR REDIT CORNER SIXTH AND MINNESOTA STREETS: smaller jubilee companies the best talent that could be procured. The famous Orpheus Male Quartet which has been the envy of all jubilee companies from the time this company was organized up to the present time, will take a prominent part on the programme together with the work of the double quartette in old and new jubilee songs, plantation songs, all making up a high class popular, enjoyable entertainment which is wholly unnecessary to reinforce with "coon songs," "cake walks" or minstrel effects. This is an opportunity we hope everyone will avail themselves of, as it will no doubt be the last tour of the United States that this great company of artists will make as arrangements are now being completed for an extended tour through Europe and arrangements have already been completed for a tour throughout Canada the balance of the present season.

Sts. During the past week the daily papers have been giving Lawyer F. L. McGhee and Dr. Val Do Turner a lot of free advertising in conjunction with the recent attack Salvadore Battalia on the matter Calderone. The whole gist of the matter is that the officials are chagrined because they did not get the credit of making the capture. All sorts of dire threats are made at McGhee and Turner, but neither one of these gentlemen is losing any sleep on that account. The entertainment given by the Ladies' Aid Society at Pilgrim Baptist Church Thanksgiving evening was a very pleasant affair in every particular. There was a very large crowd present, which was highly entertained. The program consisted of instrumental solo, Miss Blanch Cuthbert; mandolin solo, Leslie Lawrence; vocal solo, Miss Minke Duncan, accompanist Lorane Beard. The feature of the evening was a debate of the question: "Resolved, that country life is more beneficial to the Negro than city life." Theants were clerical Houser and Elmo Affirmative; Herbert Elliott and J. Hickman, Jr., negative. The young debaters did themselves proud on both sides, but the judges, after much consideration, decided that the affirmative won. Rev. W. D. Carter, Messrs. E. J. Williams and J. H. Loomis were the judges. Mrs. T. H. Lyles, state organizer for the National Association of Women and president of the State Federation of Minnesota, who has been visiting Chicago, where she was royally entertained by her many friends, returned home Sunday.

IF EVERYONE KNEW THE GOODNESS OF GORDON CAPS NO ONE WOULD BE. WITHOUT ONE. He Gets Thirty Years for His Murder ous Assault on Helen Olson. Joe Scott, who committed the robbery and made the murderous assault but Helen White, white at Watson, Minneapolis, and Minneapolis, saved from being lynched, by extra precautions and exertions, had his trial in Monkevideo Tuesday. He pleaded guilty as charged and was immediately sentenced to thirty years in the penitentiary at Stillwater. He was at once brought to St. Paul, as there was still some danger of mob violence, and placed in jail. While in the jail he made a confession of just how he came to commit the robbery and the murderous assault. He did not attend a shield himself, except to reiterate that the crime was not premeditated but the result of a temporary aberration of the mind. Scott had just been released from the North Dakota penitentiary and was beating his way through the country. There was no attempt to commit rape, although the papers at the time endeavored to create the impression that there was Scott was taken to Stillwater Sunday day to begin the serving of his deserved sentence. It is just such circumstances that Scott who do so much to run discredit upon the race, as the entire race is called upon to bear the burden of the villainy of any one criminal, but gets no credit for the good which is done by the hundreds and hundreds of thousands. At the Grand Opening "McFadden's Row of Flats," one of the brightest and most popular force comedies ever staged, will be the attraction at the Grand next week. This clever laughing success is based on the famous "Yellow Kid" sketches, and was written in its dramatic form by E. W. Townsend and Glen MacDougall. The production this season is an entirely new one, and the management has spent a large amount of money for new scenery, costumes and effects. There will also be heard in this edition of "McFadden's Row of Flats" the latest and best popular music of the day. The company numbers 30 people, and, aside from a large chorus of pretty girls, includes such well known artists as Marguerite Ferguson, Aad Boshel, The Exposition Four, Joe Willard, Prett Reid, James E. Rome, Bobby Boley, Jerry Sullivan, Teddy Simmond, the Yellow Kids, May Baker and Libby Libby. The show can truthfully be said to be one continual from the first curtain until the final curtain. The engagement will be for one week, with the usual matinees. --- COMING IN MINNEAPOLIS. SCOTT SENTENCED McFADDEN'S ROW OF FLATS Open House WE WANT YOUR BUSINESS We furnish the house complete.

Illinois Company No. 4, Uniformed Rank, K. of P. Leads the World. The crack Afro-American military team of the world is a Chicago organization. By winning the contest recently at St. Louis it won that title for the third time, and clinched its claim without dispute to first place. This team is Illinois Company No. 4 of the Uniformed Rank, Knights of Pythias. It is composed of eighteen Chicago men, and for fancy and exhibition drilling it has no superior. It is not an old organization, but it has never failed in any of its contests to come off victor. It first won the championship at the eleventh biennial encampment of the Supreme Lodge in Chicago in August, 1901. The prize that year consisted of $300 in cash and a silver cup. Col. John R. Marshall of the Eighth Infantry, Illinois Nationad Guard, is sponsor for the team. For the last four years he has been one of the judges at the encampment. Colonel Marshall is a thorough tactician, and to his work and that of Robert R. Jackson, major general of the uniform rank, Knights of Pythias of the World, the great efficiency of the team is. At present Mr. Jackson is Major in command of the First battalion, Eighth Regiment, Illinois National Guard. He was elected major general of the uniform rank, Knights of Pythias, at Jacksonville, Fla., in August, 1899, and was re-elected in Chicago in 1901, and again in St. Louis this year.

Yours truly, THAT'S THE BUTTER MILTON'S STAR BRAND BUTTER THE beginning of our Famous STAR BRAND BUTTER Is in the selection of herds and the care of the milk on the farm; then a critical inspection of the milk at our skimming stations, doubtful quality cream doesn't go into the "Star Brand" vat. The result of this extra care, at the beginning, is a pure and EXTRA fine flavored butter. Since we began making "Star Brand" in 1888, nearly every store in town has an "Extra Brand" of butter; the paper cap is all the extra there is to it. Grocerymen and butchers don't make butter—they have it shipped from some outside creamery and repack it into jars or prints—consequently comes to you second-handed. Buy our "Star Brand," and you have the freshest, purest and best butter possible. Packed in 2, 3 and 5 lb. jars right from the churn. MILTON DAIRY CO., COR. 9TH and WABASHA STS.
