The Appeal

--- THE BULL'S MISTAKE UNWITTINGLY TACKLED THE CIRCUS GIANT. And What Happened to the Brave but Unfortunate Bovine "Was a Plenty"—Tossed Through the Air and Landed in Disused Quarry Pond. "Every now and then, you know," said the old circus man, "you see in the papers a paragraph headed 'Chased by an Infuriated Bull.' It is a simple little story, and it always runs about the same: "As Farmer Jones of West Cheshire was crossing his pasture on Thursday last he was chased by an infuriated bull, and it goes on to tell how Farmer Jones barely escaped and all that, the bull hooking off the top rail of the fence just as Farmer Jones went over it, and so on. "A simple little story, sure enough; and one that we've read a hundred times; but do you know if the newspapers should stop printing it I should miss it greatly? For somehow that little story has always interested me very much, and ever since a little experience that the greatest of all giants had once with an infiltrated bull it has interested me more still. "We had a pasture lot right next to the home lot at the show's winter quarters, and in that pasture lot we had at one time a bull. The home lot and the house stand along the fence house stands aside a the fence. "The giant stepped over the fence between the home lot and the pasture lot one day to make a short cut across the pasture to a point down the read, and just as he'd got pretty near across somebody back in the home lot holders out to him; "Hey, Loofx! The bull!" "The bull, down in one corner, had spied the giant making across the pasture, and it started for him at once. It didn't make any difference to the bull how big the giant was; you can't score a mad bull. "Did the giant start and run away from it? He could have done it easy, but he didn't stig a pig. He just stood still the bull was about ten feet off him and then he side stepped just one step, which was equal to three steps of an ordinary man, and stood stock still again; and when the bull turned around to follow him, and just as he was ready to spring, the great giant took him by the horns. "He gave the bull a swing and swing him clean off the ground and, around his head, and swung him into a hammer throw swirling a hammer before he throws it, and then he launched the bull into the air. And the bull went sailing over the pasture fence, and over the road, and over the fence beyond, and — dismembered! "But it didn't take long to him. On that property across the road there was an abandoned quarry, that had been quarried out to the depth of about sixty feet, and had about ten feet of water in the hole at the bottom, and the bull had dropped into that quarry; and here he was when we got over and looked down the sides, swimming around in the water down below. "Well, we got out some of our tent tackle that had been stored for the winter and got the bull out and put him back in the pasture lot, where he frisked around as gaily as ever, what you call deflated, but not dismused; and he'd have charged on the giant again in a place the giant had set the bull on the lot again. "But that was something the giant never tried to do. He was a man of sense, the giant, and he knew that it was doomed the next time he threw down in as soft a spot as a pool of water, and he didn't want to hurt the bull, and so the giant and the bull never met grain. "But that one meeting between them as you can easily imagine gave me a new interest in the time-honored little story that we see in the papers now and then under the heading of 'Chased by an Indurated Bull,' and every time I read it I think of what happened when the bull chased not Farmer Jones, but the greatest of all giants."-Chicago Inter. Ocean. Afraid of the Dark. Who's afraid in the dark! "Oh not! I," said the owl, "great scowl, and he wiped his eye And flicked his jowl—To-woho!" Said the dog "bark" Out loud in the dark—Boo-oo!" Said the cat "bark" I'll scare any one who Dares say that I do Feat afraid, afraid! "Afraid," said the mouse, "Of dark in the house! Hear me scatter. What was the matter— Squark! Then the toad in the hole, And the bug in the ground, They both scared their heads. And passed the word around. And the bird in the tree, And the fish and the bee, Fish and the bee, That you never did see One of them afraid In the dark! But the little boy Who dared to bed Just raised the bedclothes And covered his head! —Buchmatt Enquirer. Cause for Disappointment One of the women passengers on the Cedric asked Senator Turner of the Alaskan Boundary Commission why the Canadians were so keenly disappointed over the line which the tribunal established. Because," said the senator, glancing at the Dominion representatives who was in the group, "we didn't draw the line along the St. Lawrence and through the lakes." "Yes," retorted the Canadian, "the United States included our gold, but excluded it." EASY TO KEEP HOUSE. No Problem at All in the Jungles of the West Indies. The negro housewife in the West Indian jungle finds housekeeping very easy. Fruit and vegetables grow wild all about the hut, and the river abounds with fish. On wash day all she has to do is to pick a few of the berries of the soapberry tree, take her clothes to the river, and use berries as she would use ordinary soap. Even her cooking pots grow on the trees, the calabash cut in has been being used for the cabbages used also for bowls, basins and jugs for carrying water from the river, while the small ones make excellent cups. In the afternoon, when she is ready for her cup of tea, the negress plucks a half dozen leaves from the lime bush stung at her door, boils them, squeezes the juice from a sugarcane for sweetening, and the coconut supplies the milk. Thus she has a delicious cup of tea without depending on the grocery for it. It makes mats for her floor out of the dried leaves of the banana, plaited and sewn together, as the old country people in this country make their rag mats. LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE Recent Benedict's Declaration as to his Infant Son. A man—well call him Brown—was last year receiving congratulations because of the fact that he had at last succeeded in finding a member of the opposite sex who was willing to cook and make his bed for him for the consideration of a wifely title. Brown was last week being congratulated because of the arrival of a scion and son. Now Brown, by the way, was thirty-nine years of age when he married, and consequently was well qualified to give his opinions as to the state of matrimonial affiliation. "When do you think is the proper time for a man to marry?" he was asked one day this week. Brown looked wise. "Twenty-one," he replies. "Look at all the years of happiness I've lived." Scott! it that son of mine does not get married when he is twenty-one I'll horse-hip him." In such channels run the thoughts of newly made parents! How to Do Without Servants. It behoves all house mothers to meet the question of how to do without servants. And in order to keep up the standard of mental, spiritual and physical excellence in women, they must be willing to consider that it would do better to live on plainer food, to have fewer ornaments to dust in their homes, to wear less elaborate garments, to wear less clothing with their children, to walk out under the beneficent skies of this fair land and to reflect on those things that are so abundantly set before the citizens of the twentieth century; that will make for an elevation of class, an entire levelling of conditions that depend on the grade of mind that meets them—Florence Jackson Stoddard, in Sunset Magazine. Brown Know. Senator Bacon of Georgia hss for hobby the nation's most well-versed He was talking one day about the effect of heat and cold, explaining with great thoroughness the rule that "heat expands and cold contracts." Suddenly he smiled. "I am reminded of a story," he said. "There was a boys' class in physics before which this rule came. The rule was discussed in its various aspect and bearing, and finally the teacher said: "Brown, suppose you give me a example of the rule. Can you do it?" "Yes, sir," said Brown. "In the summer, when it's hot, the days are long; and in winter, when it's cold, the days are short." On Our Knees Lord, what a change within us one short Spent in Thy presence will avail to make What burdens lighten! what temptations What parched grounds refreshed, as with knee We kneel, and all around us seems to lower; We weel and all the distant and the near We kneel in sunny outline, brave and clear We kneel, how weak—we rise, how full Why, therefore, should we do our ourselves this wrong Or other we are not always strong? That we are over everwear with care—That we should ever weak or heartless Anxious or troubled, when with us is And joy, and strength, and courage are with Thee. —Trench. Fair Play in Business It is of vast importance to the future manhood of this country that scorn of unfairness should be universal. Above all, let it be applied strenuously to unfairness in business. We are a commercial people. Our boys must go into commerce. Our professions are so mingled with commerce that it is often hard to distinguish if they are professions. If we are to wink at unscrupulous business commerce then we will become to become a race of tricksters and manhood is dead within us—McClure's Magazine. Mercantile Fleets. Compared with the year 1901, the German, English, Danish, Dutch, French, Italian, Austro-Hungarian and Greek flags show an increase, especially the two latter; the Norwegian, Russian and Spanish flags show a decrease. Non-European flags are seldom seen at Hamburg. 1901 only one American ship, 1,417 tons, and Brazilian ship, 121 tons, and one Argentine ship, 1,068 tons, entered Europe. Murderers Of The Deep Sea. THE FISH THAT FISHES. REGGIE, THE SEA SERPENT. THE ELECTRIC SHOCKER. THE GREAT SWALLOWER AFTER GORGING HIS PREY. SEARCH LIGHT FISH. PROPOSED ROUTE OF THE $101,000,000 CANAL. LAKE ONTARIO NEW CANAL OLD CANAL ROCHESTER FIR CANAL ALVIE ROSEID UTICA EAR CANAL SUNTH TEA UNWANDA LAKE LANE More murder is done in the deep every year than in all the rapacity of a century on the land. The water is an enormous battlefield, where life is maintained only by constant slaughter. When next one learns the delicious blue fish, remember that he slays more fish every year than man catches in a century. His prey along the Atlantic coast number annually twelve hundred millions. He hunts in schools. Packs of these wolves of the sea range by the thousand million every season from the Gulf of Mexico to Nova Scotia, destroying everything in their path. They are the most ferocious gluttones of the world, and they chop their victims into pieces and leave the fragments to strew the surface with blood and causter. The great swallower is another kind of glutton, that in human form would find a place in the seventh circle of Dante's inferno. He is an emaciated being, resembling in normal condition the eel, but he possesses the most distainable stomach in the whole animal kingdom. A mouth like that of the pelican enables him to seize a fish three and often five times his own size, which is drawn into his guts by the force of his mouth of the boasconstrictor. Having gotten around his meal he becomes dormant and falls an easy prey, with his undigested food, to a larger fish. The swordfish has been the theme of writers since the days of Pliny. His terrible offensive weapon caused him to become the rival in romance of the sea serpent and the octopus. Thrilling stories have been told of his attacks on ships and the sinking of vessels from holes driven by his sword through their hulls. In Siena, an ancient city among the hills of northern Italy, where Christopher Columbus was educated, is the helmet and armor of the discoverer and the weapon of a warrior killed by the explorers when approaching the PROPOSED F LAKE ONTARIO The period prescribed by the eminent engineers who have given study to the subject within which the Erie, Oswego and Champaign canals can be improved so as to make them capable of floating 1,000-ton barges is five years. The adoption by the people of New York of the canal referendum voted on at the recent election completed all of the legislation necessary for the American coast—the sword of a swordfish. One finds in old nautical records accounts of terrific battles between the swordfish and the whale. The thrasher shark is described as the ally of the swordfish in these attacks. Salt water yarms, reeeping with briny flavor, relate in quant doggerel the terror of such ocean fishs. Capt. Hill of an English traveling vessel spins this yarn: "The thrasher sharks just do serve out the whale, the sea sometimes is all blood. A whale once got under our vessel—the hurricane—to get away from these thrasher and when she was there we were afraid to throw a rope overboard, almost to walk out, for fear she would chuck her tail and punch a hole in our vessel. She was full length in water, as clear as gin, right under our bottom, and laid as quiet as a lamb for an hour and a half and never moved a fm. Where they had been a thrashing of her the sea was just like blood. I have seen these 'ere thrasheres fly out of the water as high as the masthead fland down on the whale, while the swordfish was a picking of 'em. There is always two of 'em, one and one under, and I think they hunts together; and you can see the poor whale blow up in great agitation, and I'll be bound the pair, but don't have the pair to have their nautilous out of 'em. It is just for wengence they does it. Whether Master Whale has offended them or not, it's hard to tell. If they eats him, they must have a tidy blowout of the oil. I don't think they likes the oil. I saw one engagement off the Staples; it was all of two or three hours they was at it. I don't think they leaves him until they kills him." The flying fish swim near the surface. Immense schools haunt the California coast, where they skip, sail or fly through the air. Those about the Santa Barbara island are the largest of their kind and have the greatest power of flight. The act of ROUTE OF THE $101,000 issuance of state bonds to the extent of $101,000,000, which is the estimated cost of the carrying out of the project. It now becomes the duty of the state controller to cause to be repaired bonds of the state to the amount specified, and within three months after the issuance of the bonds or some part thereof by the controller the superintendent of public works and the state engineer are directed by Defective Page flying is begun by a distinct vibration of the pectoral fins. Flight can be prolonged almost indefinitely. When in the water the sole source of motive power is in the action of a wonderfully strong tail. On rising the movements of the tail continue until the whole body emerges. As the action of the tail ceases the pectoral and ventral fins are spread and held at rest. They are used as parachutes to support the weight of the body in the air. While in the air the fish resembles a huge dragon fly with a motion that is at first swift and straight, but which latter is deflected in a curve. Deep sea explorations of recent years have established the fact that some fishes are charged with the ability and power of imparting power like a torpedo they have the power of stunning and killing creatures on which they feed. The power is exhausted after repeated uses, and time, repose and nourishment is needed to restore it. No real sea yarn is complete without the sea serpent. It is the marine monster of tradition, the fish that causes more smiles than fears. His right name is Regaleucus Glesne, and he is classed as the largest of the species known as the ribbon fishes. Reggie is harmless, as indeed most of the fish he encounters are it. It is those of the clean build and powerful bodies which wreak their vengeance on man and other members of the funny family. Sportsmen find delight in the tuna, the tiger of the California sea, one of the greatest of the game fishes on the American coasts. He is a living meteor that strikes like a whirlwind, and when played with on a rod that is not a billiard cue or a baseball bat he gives the average man the contest of his life. He usually takes 500 feet of water and has been known to tow a fishing boat ten miles to sea before surrendering. 10,000 CANAL. NEW CANAL OLD CANAL law to proceed with the work of enlarging the canals. One effect of the construction of the 1,000-ton barge canal which those interested in canal navigation expect to see realized is the restoring to the canals of the coal carrying trade to the Northwest. It is coal and the best value of manufactured goods which it is believed will furnish the 1,000-ton barges with their return cargoes. ```markdown ``` DESERVED TO WIN HER. Young Man Who Seized Opportunity on the Fly. "I heard a unique proposal to day," laughed O'Beelette, as he sat down to his evening meal. "There were a couple of evidently very learned men on the car, who kept branching from one subject to another. Within hearing distance of them sat a man and a woman; in fact, I sat just between them." "I didn't pay much attention to the remarks of the savants until they began an informal heart-to-heart jabber on a matter I had noticed myself. "It's truly wonderful! how features change," said one. For instance, I knew a married couple who had lived together so long that they finally conformed in features. After a time, one might easily have mistaken them for brother and sister, children of the parents, so alike in looks were they." "I've heard and read of many such cases," said the other; "it's a scientific fact that constant companionship produces a likeness," and then was started a distribe on this interesting line. "And just then the public proposal can be made, and secretly admire the young man's nerve. The girl said to him: "Do you think that is so, Will? "Yes, indeed," answered Will; 'and do you know, I'd give you everything in the world if you'd let me look like you.' "What knew the outcome was, but if I'd been her I'd certainly have taken him up, for his honest outspokenness if nothing else." TRAFFIC IN HUMAN HAIR. Regular Markets in Many Parts of the World Wearing false hair is a very widespread custom. In the language of the tradesman, hair grown on the heads of northern nations is the most valuable, both because of its superior fineness* and gloss and its color. Germany and Sweden provide the most valuable hair, especially if it be golden blonde, which is of the finest texture and of a color impossible to wear in the cold. Other southern nations produce only coarser and less costly varieties. Most precious of all, however, is hair of a true silver-gray color, which, in sufficiently long plaits, is almost impossible to procure, chiefly from the fact that its very rarity causes those women lucky enough to possess it to refuse to part with it. The most constant supply of human hair for the world's market, however, comes from the peasant girls in countries such as Russia and Galicia, where immediately assumed which makes the lack of its natural covering unnoticeable. In Bohemia, Moravia and Galicia there are regular hair markets to which the women bring their hair for sale. Like a Boy's Pocket A most remarkable case of gastro-omyomy for foreign bodies of the stomach was described at a meeting of the Academie de Medecine. The patient, a youth 16 years old, had entered the St. Joseph's Hospital for Epilepsy. He had had meiagena, and a rather sharp pain accompanied by crepitation in the stomach. The operation was performed in June, and the following bodies were removed through an orifice of two and a half centimeters: Eight teaspoons, from 8 to 15 centimeters long; a three-ringed fork, a letter file 12 centimeters long, two sharp points; a needle, 6 centimeters long, a knife blade 5 centimeters long, a piece of comb 8 centimeters long, a key. There was a bloody ing 230 grams. The stomach did not seem to have been affected, and the patient recovered completely.—Paris Letter to the Medical Record. No More "Rickshaw" Men Japan is finding that electric traction and the "rickshaw" are incompatible and the result is that over 2,000 human horses in Tokyo have given up the unequal struggle with the elecric car and have decided to emigrate in a body to the Hokkalo, there to engage in the fisheries and other calls. It seems a pity, for there are few pleasant ways of travelling on a good road than behind a couple of stair runners who do their eight miles an hour with ease. From the national point of view the disappearance of the stair runners is a very important consequences. In physiuse they form almost a class apart and though their calling does not conduce to longevity they were a valuable asset in Japan's military system, as they proved in the war with China. The Rebel. Though bridged, dumb, and slow, Day after trudging day With it being a age Along the beaten way. Though traces chafe and gall And bitter stings the lash, Ere at death's not end For the morning I will dash.

As leaping shades that hedge The shear of the morning's edge I snuff the mountain air. —Wilfrid Wilson Gibson. Old Age No Disability. An interesting example of the fact that it is never too late to learn has recently occurred in Belgium. At the State School of Horticulture at Vilvoorde, one of the pupils, named Pierre Germain, is sixty-nine years of age, and that age implies in his case at least no disability is shown by the fact that he has received his diploma, having passed the "annul" with flying THE PASSION FLOWER A LOVER'S PROMISE AND ITS FULFILLMENT. "And Over All, Like the Kiss of Death—A Terrible, Unknown Power—Under the Subtle Scent of the Scarlet Bloom of the Prairie Passion-Flower." "Would you claim me, then, as your very own," she said with a sheer smile. To the man who stood in his youth and strength in the witchery of her wiles, "Do me the prairie passion-flower in the fush of its crisison pride. Do this for me, and their blooms shall the brow of your willing bride. "I will bring you the blooms that you wish, he said, though they bear in the heart of the next aunts' rays the deadly worms which sap the blood on the verge of the vaboy of death. I go, be for them, the next aunts' rays seek the waters of the ford; Flood or fate, I shall bring the blooms and claim of you my reward. As the echoed bait of his mustang's feet rang sharp in the gathering air. She lightly laughed and murmured He goes to the gates of Doom. Where the passion-flowers wave their petals, the falls and the sight grows dim and Man nee'r returned from that spot. He is now in the garden, and Bright is the one with the lamp light's glam, the rustle of silk and lace. When man in a tattered and dirty garb reed into the brilliant place, he stands in the garden, stood aside with a hutting step he passed. A tattered blood-red crimson blooms in his sunburned fingers grasped. As he crised: "I bring you the passion wishes to show I have kept my word. He reeled and fell, with his outstretched hands in the lace of her silken dress. With a nameless horror she bent her knees, and tore from the undeathing grasp the meshes of dainty lace. But the wonderful prairie passion flower had sought and had claimed their purpose. She strove to rise, and sank to her knees with a faint, despairing mound. She swept over his haggard face. While her arms seemed clasping the senseless form in a last contrainance. And over all, like the kiss of death—a terrible, unknown power, Hung the subtle scent of the scared mound of the prairie passion flower. THE FIRST AMERICAN BIBLE. Was Published at Cambridge, Mass., in the Year 1663. In 1662 the first Bible printed in America was published in Cambridge. It was unlawful to print an English version of the Scriptures, that right being a monopoly enjoyed by privilege in Massachusetts was Eliot's famous Indian Bible, and, although 1,500 copies were drawn of the books, as are the sealed books, as a tongue in which they were written is literally "a dead language," the tribe and all who had a knowledge of the dialect being long extinct. Eliot's work is unique, being at once a monument to his piety, perseverance and learning. Its literary successor was Newman's "Concordance of the Scriptures." This was compiled by the light of pine knots in a log cabin in one of the frontier settlements of New York, the time of its kind and for more than a century was admitted to be the most perfect, holding its place in public oceum until, superseded by Cruden's, which it suggested. The Letter "H." Twas whispered in heaven, 'twas murured in helm, and might oftify the sound as it fell. in the remembrance of earth 'twas permitted to rest.

But woe to the wretch that expels it home. In the whispers of conscience its voice Nor woe in the whirwind of passion be drowned. it soothes the heart, and, though deat to the ear, it will make it acutely and instantly heat. In but shades it let rest, like an elegant dwarf. On it softly-it dies in an hour. H. H. The Thought of Old Age The late Stephen Crane, whose posthumous novel of Irish life is soon to appear, and an imagination at once rich and delicate. One night, in a studio in New York, he was talking of old age. "I can imagine myself," he said, in his strange, quiet voice, "an old man, a very old man, eighty, ninety years old. I can imagine myself at that great age, taken down with illness. My friends gather about the bed. It is thought that I will die. "But I grow better, I see myself recovering. The friends are surprised and pleased. They urge me to get up." "I can imagine, though, how the weight of my years oppresses me, and how, though I am well, death seems so near that I say: "Oh. it is hardly worth while to at me and dress myself again."

Nix up until he can learn to live his fellowman framed in God's own image. Prayer by Rev. Newell Dwight Mills. pastor of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn. New York. The people who are constantly calling attention to the what they claim is the inherent deprivation of the Afro-American and his alleged weakness for assaulting white women, should note the recent ease of assault by a black man, an Afro-American man which was reported in a special to the Atlanta Constitution from Harmony Grove, Ga., November 23d. "Three young white men, Chandler, McClinnis and Fitchpatrick, went to the home of a Negro, broke the door down, threw the babe from the young house and took her into the field, about 100 yards from the house, and mercilessly assaulted her. They kept her there in awful agony for two hours. Neighbors heard her screams and went to the scene of the terrible crime, but the men were armed and would have been forced to stand at a distance and witness the assault and hear the screams and prayers of the woman." Have Afro-Americans, ever, at any time, anywhere, committed a crime so horrible as this? The action of the trustees of Trinity College in refusing, by a vote of 18 to 7, to accept the resignation of Prof. Bassett marks a new era in the South and shows that some progress is being made in the matter of freedom of speech. Recounted in an article Prof. Bassett made the assertion that Dr. Booker T. Washington is the greatest man the South has produced since Robert E. Lee. This statement aroused indignation among the editor, by Editor Joseph Daniels of the Raleigh News and Observer, who was burned in effigy by the students after the announcement of the decision of the trustees. Surely the spirit of tolerance in a Southern college gives out a statement which says, "The search for Valerie Fenton Private Secretary to Dr. Booker T. Washington, and Corresponding Secretary National Negro Business League. Private Secretary to Dr. Booker T. Washington, and Corresponding Secretary National Negro Business League. Among the most conspicuous of the younger young men of the race is Emmet J. Scott, a native of Houston, Texas, who now fills with exceptional credit the important and delicate position of private secretary to the disbanded U.S. Army and the principal of the Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Alabama, Mr. Scott was born in Houston Texas, February 13, 1873, and after completing the course in the Houston public schools attended Wiley University, Marshall, Texas, for three years, was in the University and returned to Houston, where he soon won the friendship of Mr. J. L. Watson, then business manager, afterwards president, of the Houston Post Printing Company. He worked as an attaché of the business department, besides doing a large amount of reportorial and other work. In this capacity he remained for three years. He still retains in the largest possible measure the respect and good will of all the officers of the Post corporation, especially of the then, as well as now, editor-in-chief, Mr. Johnston, perhaps, an influential, Mr. G. J. Palmer, the present general manager of the paper, the training which he received while with The Post, which is the best known and most influential daily paper of Texas and the great Southwest, was of great value to him in the publication of the Texas Freeman, a newspaper that he made to that paper the best edited, most influential, all-around, up-to-date race journal that has ever been published in the Lone Star State. While editor of the Freeman, he became a recognized factor in all movements for the improvement and advancement of Texas and its interests, to which later the Freeman was especially devoted. He was associated while in Texas with such men as Dr. I. B. Scott, the present editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, Hon. R. L. Smith, the president of the Texas legislature, and at present president of the Farmers' Improvement Society, an organization which is doing much to help Afro-Americans in Texas, and the Hon. N. W. Cuney, in Texas, and the Hon. J. W. Cuney in Texas politics. He was like a son to Mr. Cuney, and they always worked together, whether in politics or other movements, for the benefit of the race. He was 'selected to reply to the welcome address to the National Afro-American Press Association which met in Atlanta in November, 1895, during the Cotton States' Exposition, because of his standing as a newspaper publisher. truth should be unhampered and in an atmosphere which is free. Liberty may sometimes lead to folly, yet it is better that some should be tolerated that all should think and speak under the deadening influence of repression." "Historians will find a milestone in the history of the United States when they write of the term of President Roosevelt," said United States Senator Hopkins at the annual banquet of the American Institute of Auditorium Chicago. Monday night, "They will compare him with Washington, Lincoln, Grant and McKinley," continued the senator. "They will declare him the typical president of the United States." Senator Hopkins was responding to the toast "The President of the United States when he delivered this eulogy upon President Roosevelt." A queer case of mixup has been brought to light in Evansville, Ind. Charles Choug, a Chinahman, has obtained a judgment for $700 in the court of Posey county against the Brenner man, a Jewess for breach of promise. Choug for several months called on the Brenner man, and says she promised to merry him. He says he gave her sums of money with which to finish her musical education and to send letters, written by Miss Brenner to Cheong, were produced as evidence at the trial. The next annual meeting of the National Negro Business League will be held at Indianapolis, Ind., in August, 1904. It is likely that the meeting will be the largest ever held since the first, Mr. Fred R. Moore of Brooklyn, in 1900, the national organizer, is doing some very effective work and has organized a large number of local leagues in various parts of the country. The Business League is a great success. Reports to the effect that the children of Frederick Douglas, by his assistance, have taken the main possession of the books, manuscripts and personal effects left to 'the second wife of Messrs. Charles and Lewis Douglass. There was some litigation against the time of the death of Mr. Douglass, but settled the matter by giving the property to the widow who has just died. Not only, for its political importance, but for the unusual personal, social and literary interest of the reminiscences it brings together, Senator Hear's autobiography will be the most notable contribution of the year to THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. In the spring of 1897, Principal Booker T. Washington delivered an address at the Prairie View (Texas) State Normal School, and altogether through the efforts of Mr. Scott, he was induced to stop over in Houston to meet with the president Scott brought together on short notice such a large and representative gathering of Texas' best citizens, white and black, and as presiding officer handled the audience with such marked ability that he did not fall to attract the attention of the teachers of the wealth of the man, as Mr. Washington never fails to do, he very shortly induced him to accept the very important position which he now holds. It is not easy for one who has not had opportunity to see for himself, to appreciate the importance, as well as the desire to in some of the duties which in this capacity, is called upon to perform. When it is remembered that Mr. Washington is recognized as the leading Afro-American of this generation, and when it is also remembered that Mr. Washington's influence in many schools is sought for men in the whole country, both by men who have "axes to grind" and by newspaper men trying to work up a sensation, and when it is further remembered that Mr. Washington takes his private secretary into his confidence and values the people he serves, the value of the man to Mr. Washington and through him to the race can be somewhat estimated and appreciated. He has direct charge of Mr. Washington's large correspondence. Mr. Washington's own estimate of the value of his services in his book, "The Story of My Life and Work," as follows: "Mr. Emmett J. Scott, for a number of years, has been in the closest and most helpful relations to me in all my work. With it, it would be impossible for me to perform even a small part of the labor I now do. Mr. Scott understands so thoroughly my motives, plans and ambitions that he puts himself into my own position and allows all people on life's journey to put himself into the place of another, and in this way makes himself invaluable not only to me personally but also to the institution. Such men as Mr. Scott I have found exceedingly rare and valuable people discovered." Such a tribute any man can well be proud of, and it is no less significant than it is merited. Mr. Scott is happily married to a lady of education and refinement and is the proud father of five interesting children. memoir literature. Afro-Americans will be especially interested in the life story of their staunch friend. Surrounded by the books, pictures, busts, etc., and by the memories of her world-famous husband and in his historic home, "Cedarhill." in Anacastia, D. C., Mrs. Frederick Douglass, little less a remarkable character than her husband, died Tuesday, at the age of sixty-five years. Requiscat in pace! George Foster Peabody, the well known New York philanthropist, accompanied by a many including Dr. Charles Chall, president of Union Theological Seminary and fifteen other distinguished gentleman, spent last Tuesday at Tuskegee Institute, visiting all departments. Friends of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute in Alabama will be glad to know that the endowment fund of that institution has passed the million dollar mark. During next month, the endowment will enewor to increase the endowment to two million dollars. Ferdinand Morton, an Afro-American, will represent Harvard in her annual debate with Yale in place of T. H. Reed of Boston, who has been worn out by studies. Morton's home is in Washington, D. C. Western Union Telegraph messenger boys at Richmond, Va, struck and their places were filled by Afro-American boys. The white people thereupon became very indignant and boycotted the line. Mademoiselle Cuesdon, the famous clavoyant, called the "Angel Gabriel of Rue Paradise," predicts dire happenings in the United States in the near future—earthquakes and hard times. Bryan was given too much speech before he crossed the water, but if he kissed the blarney stone while he's in Ireland, he'll outcall all American talkers. And now Kentucky will try its hand at disfranchisement of the Afro-American—"Because they vote the Republican ticket almost invariably." A mass meeting of Afro-Americans was held recently at Chattanooga and was all whisky party formed—a good move. The Afro-American asks no special favors; he'd be greatly pleased to get the treatment accorded other citizens. THE BOOK WORLD MORE FIVE MINUTE STORIES. ILLUATED by Wallace Goldsmith.

Mr. Mitchell, though, has the highest value in interest, probably the greatest leader which is organized labor has had in this course. He has been a major leader of the problem in the point of view of the patriotic city. He is the one who has the right to the point of view that of the general population.

A POLITICAL HISTORY OF SLAVERY. A Political History of Slavery. by L. A. Browne. A Political History of Slavery. by Whitehall Reid. Two volumes. 8vo. Net. $4.50. By mail. $5.00. New York: HarperCollins. "A Political History of Slavery," by Wm. Henry Smith, is an elaborated story of the Reconstruction, from the early days of the 18th century to the close of the Reconstruction. There is an introduction by Whitehall Reid, which gives us an extended criticism of these two very instructive volumes. The Reid says: "This Political History is written with the fullness of knowledge from a lifelong familiarity with and study of the events from the inside as they occur from a lifelong familiarity with and study of the state office held during a critical period, and in conjunction with the gorges of the region. Again: "As time toes on fuller justice movements by which a free people enlarged the bounds of freedom, to communities and to sealing men that they were not bound by the wrongs and the better development of Anglo-Saxon institutions;—to Horace Chase and Seward, Stanton and Welles, first among legislators and cabinet ministers to the peer, to the peer, to the superior of the nation, certainly the most capable politician of the list, Abraham Chase, the author says: "If there is one thing clearly established, it is that such an institution was inconsistent with the great principles of the Constitution; who, recognizing that such an institution was inconsistent with the great principles of civil liberty, whom we confessed from inserting in that great church a name so repulsive to freedom. We must conceive that the public sentiment from inserting in that day. There was no state free from that day. There was no state free from that day. There was no state injurious to society was in no sense dependent upon sectional ties, confided in the public sentiment expected; emancipation would have followed in Delaware, North Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee." "Opposition to the institution of slavery arose from religious convictions as to its moral foundations and religious policies. The resistance of those who with Mr. Jefferson condemned it because it was a violation of his impotent as his, or succumbed to the viciousness of it, played its source in religious feelings played an important part in the creation of a religious movement, and other denominations in the employment of moral influence for the eradication of slavery. The outspoken utterances in the Presbyterian, Baptist and Methodist churches at an alliance in Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. Vol. II opens with a chapter on "The Outbreak of the War," in which he says he was treated with scant respect. They become the dupes of Knaves, the instrument of spite disorder to enter in; the real enemies to human progress. When he meets the real enemies with men resolute in purpose to disrupt the Union and overthrow the government, he construed the fundamental law to be the executive. Imagine Andrew Jackson, the executive head of the government in 1800, paged in the work of disunion have been welcomed at the White House? Would they have bullied him? ORGANIZED LABOR. Organized Labor. By John Mitchell. Pp. 496 with 48 full-page illustrations. Organized Labor: American Books and Bible Houses. What particularly impresses the reader of this book is the broad grasp which Mr. Mitchell has shown. Mr. Mitchell, although a Unionist of the Unionist, and 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 shirk the discussion of the weak points of labor organizations, and is especially eloquent in his denunciation of violence in strikes. 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 detail the question of strikes and proposes a method by which they may be prevented, or at least minimized. There are half a dozen chapters deal- ing with the strike of the giving of history of the strike by Mr. Mitchell states that at the beginning of August, the strike was about a collapse, and the strike was taken at this time by the operators, the strike would be the strike and the story of the victory was snatched from defeat is told in a graphic and eloquent manner by the --- Antisemitism. By Bernard Lazare. Translated from the French, Vo. Pp. 153. In the book You International Library Publishing Co. Recent events in Russia have given the author a great deal of translation from the French, and its pages must have been written many times. The author has most painful interest to the Jewish question. The author is himself a Hebrew, and his pages are filled in the title to his book, but this circumstance does not seem to have blighted his opinions. The case is certainly stated with great candor, and the blame is distributed with fairness. The fault is found in the author's world, but the Israelite himself is charged with having brought much of the blame to his people by manifest shortcomings. The treatment given the subject is his histories between Jews and Gentiles are traced from the earliest times. Perhaps he learns how much of proselytising has been carried on reciprocally between the He-terans and the Jews, and has resulted a greater mixture of race and religion. The author does not believe in race distinctions whether these are founded upon the color of the skin. So long, however, as the opinion prevails that races are distinct from each other in part and inferiority on the other part there is likely to be trouble between Jew and Gentile. The author is too many illustrative examples of this country, and this book can be read with profit by many who are called upon to decide questions daily arising --- TWO ON THEIR TRAVELS Two on Their Travels," by Eth Colquhoun, $250. New York. A. S. Barnes & Co. Two in Their Travels by Ethel Colquhoun, with photographic illustrations by the writer is a very interesting booz of travel. The writer describes the out-of-the-place, which she visited with a style entirely natural, and yet which exhibits a style of treatment quite unique. In the case of the "one-hand," she may consider a happy ending: "she writes. If the food was bad the drink was worse. The universal male demand for unskyrk led to the action of the man, and the full label, and the statement. Used in the Houses of Parliament."

The World-Famous Artists Who Appeared in the Twin Cities for Four Concerts. The Mason and Downs Orpheus Jubilee and Concert company appeared in four concerts in the Twin Cities this week, presenting practically the same program at each concert. Monday at St. Peter, Tuesday at Bethesda churches, Minneapolis; Wednesday at St. James and Thursday at Pilgrim churches, St. Paul. The audiences were not too eager that should have been considering the merits of the artists who appeared. But those who were present made up in warm applause and genuine appreciation for what was lacking in point of numbers. Mr. Chas. H. Downs sang a baritone solo, "Promise of Life," by Cowen. His rendition of this selection would have made glad the heart of the composer as it did, that of the audience. He has a grand voice that shows forth much training. The stars of the company are: Miss Flora Bason, Queen of Song, and Mr. Gerard Miller. The Australian Premier Basso, Mr. Mil C.

"A Desperate Chance," a new melodrama by Theodore Kramer, will be presented at the Grand next week. The story is as follows: Two brothers, Ed and Jack Biddle, in attempting to rob a store shop, shoot the proprietor, and deliver letters sent to arsonists. They are sentenced to be hanged, but while waiting for the execution to take place Ed, who possesses a strange hypnotic power over women, makes love to the wife of the warden, who furnishes them with means of escape and goes with them. The of- THE NEW TAILOR. lar's rendition of the Old Gravedigger; by Henderson, a revelation in profundity, and we realized that we were listening to a singer whose voice stands alone for depths and sweetness. His appearance on the stage brought forth a storm of applause, for in him we see as has been said an Adonis in bronze, an artist, and a basso that sings base and sings it well. Miss Flora Batson, Queen of Song, chose for her opening solo "Rose De Amor," by Arditi. This, was a gem well worth many times the price of admission. "Polly, the Cows are in the Corn" was her encerote, followed by a baritone solo, "Old Love Letters." If nothing more, this selection alone would mark her as one of the wonders of the century, as she sings this song in a good heavy baritone song, after having made in her first song a note that to us seemed an impossibility for its highness. The descriptive Duets by these two artists is a concert of itself. They introduce a complete scene taken from grand opera, making several changes of costume during its rendition and introducing the intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticano "Courage," by Petrie and the Misserrese from I Travatore. The singing and accompanying of Mr. Wm. H. Mason sends the audience home, feeling satisfied of having heard the best Jubilee Company and the Singing and the concert Stage, Mason and Batson. The management should feel proud of having got together such an array of superior artists as the above, and we predict great success for them and admire their good taste as entrepreneurs and caterers to the public, and its wishes, long live the Orpheus Jubilee Singers, Batson and Millar and Messrs. Mason and Downs. The Moonlight Maids, an up-to-date organization, with a lot of pretty girls and catchy music, will be the attraction at the Star theater next week. Matinee every day. Ladies' matinee Friday. MONEY NEEDED. 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, (Editor of the Christian Recorder) vs. the Pullman 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 order setting aside the verdict and giving the jury a judgment. The judge Johnson was refused permission 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 Jesse Lawson, Financial Secretary, Washington, D. C.; J. Madison Vance, Director, New Orleans, La.; F. L.

The wife, as soon as released from the baneful influence of Ed, is forgiven and reunited with her husband, through their little child, who has a prominent part in the working out of the plot. From the foregoing it can be readily seen that there is ample opportunity for thrilling situations and exciting climaxes, none of which have been overlooked. The engagement is for one week, with the usual Wednesday and Saturday matinees. THE STATE THE STATE COMING UP MINNEAPOLIS. DOINGS IN AND ABOUT THE CREAT "FLOUR CITY."

At Tisra Ssz Miklos, in Hungary, recently, Rudolf Tyrritz, a man of herculean proportions, was building a stable for a farmer. It was nearly finished when Tyrritz quarreled with his employer, and in the heat of the argument ran up, to one of the pillars of the stable and shook it with such force as to cause the whole building to collapse. Tyrritz himself was buried among the ruins, and later was dragged out dead. Sympathetic Colors. Science has made the discovery that every person is sympathetic to some particular color. This being the case, it is important that every person should learn what 'that color is. Nervous persons are said to find blues and greens soothing, while reds and yellows best suit the emotional temperament. The brain worker will find it beneficial to use a shade of his or her special color over the reading lamp. Victims of Bright's Disease.

There was no talk of lynching the four bandits who deliberately murdered eight men. But then these killers are white men. That makes a difference. Dowie lays a final command on his followers to deposit their money in Zion Bank, and declares that if the bank should collapse it would mean money spent in the service of God. Peter Niedermeier, one of the car barn bandits, lays a clever plot to escape from the Harrison street station by a leap through a window, but is thwarted by the vigilance of Inspector Lavin.

At Quinn chapel, R. M. Patterson charged the trustees of the board of education with criminal extravagance and declared himself in favor of women as trustees with an Afro-American woman on the board. Woman has won her right to the exclusive use of the broom, the mop, and the dust cloth. The committee of investigation of the Chicago Federation of Labor to adjust matters between the jantrons and their women co-laborers settled the point. The men confessed that whatever skill they had acquired in manipulation was in consequence of training at woman's hands. To prevent future friction between the two unions a joint council of their own is to be established. The women will be seated in the Chicago federation. Last Saturday evening Mrs. J. W.

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.
