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. 20. NO. 2 DRUMMER WAS FOXY TALE OF A MEAN MAN AND HIS DEAR WIFE. Specially Prepared "Grip" Used to Lift Load of Suspicion from the Breast of Fond Helpmeet—A Delusion That Awaits Shattering. She was a traveling man's wife and she had heard many stories about the "doings" of travelling men on the road. Her husband always seemed a model, but—why did he always leave his grip at the office when he returned from a trip? She had not seen that grip more than once in two years. The other day, when the drummer was on a trip up Buffalo way, his suspicious little wife visited the office. Approaching the porter, she said: "John, you like to make a dollar honestly when you can, don't you?" "Oh, yes'm." "You know where my husband keeps his grip, don't you?" "Yes'm; he throws it down in a corner an' leaves it there." "Well, look here, John; he will be in on the central to-morrow morning, and if you slip his grip out and bring it up to me I'll give you a dollar. You can bring it back again in half an hour." The porter consented, and two days later presented himself at the drummer's presence with the tape grip in his hand. Leaving him in the parlor, the little woman carried the prize to her bedroom, and, with teeth set and pale face, opened it. The first thing she encountered was a pocket Bible, well thumbed and showing the marks of much handling. Then she dug out a soiled shirt, some unchained socks, comb, nairbrush and then a letter. This she opened eagerly. It read: "Mr. William Hustler: "Dear Sir--Your monthly assessment of fifty cents for the support of the Young Men's Christian Association (Bible fund) is now due and the earnest interest you have always taken in the work assures me you will promptly remit the amount. You will be pleased to learn that the good cause progresses rapidly, as you predicted it would in your address delivered here a few weeks since. Yours, "A. W. EDWARDS, Secretary." This drove much of the hard, strong look from her face, but she continued her search. She fashed out three or four tracts, a bottle of pop, a temperance badge, a bottle of Dr. Scurcott corn destroyer, and a bottle of bovine it, all sealed, stamped and ready for the mail, addressed to "Miss George Gray, Bath, N. Y." The superscription was in her husband's well-known handwriting, and again the story look came into her eyes. "The wretch!" she muttered. "My suspicions' are too well founded. George Gray! Oh, this is too much, too much!" And she gave way to a flood of tears. When she had calmed she tore the letter open and read: "Bath. N. Y., Nov. 21 "Miss Gray—Your note aking me to meet you in the park Saturday evening was handed me by a district messenger boy this morning. In reply permit me to say that you have mistaken the man. You may not be aware that I am a married man and am blessed with the love and confidence of the best little wife in America. Rather than betray that confidence or destroy that love I would suffer death. In my eyes there is but one woman in the world, and she it is who greets me with a pleasant smile and a wifely kiss every time I see her from a pit LILLIAN HUSTLER." She sat down on the bed and sobbed for a while, then closed the grip, took it to the porter and asked him to return it to the store and say nothing of what had occurred. As he entered the store the drummer looked up and asked: "Did she go through it, John?" "Guess so. She took it into another room, an' was gone half an hour before she brought it back." "Well, she was smilin', but looked kind of teary, too. She gimme another dollar an' said this would be a happy world if all men were like her husband." "Ah, that's business, John! Here's your five. Clean out the grip and put my own duds back. I'm going across the street to get a bracer."—New York Press. Weariness. Favor New Springfield Rifle The officers and men who have tried the new rifle are practically unanimous in its favor. The infantry board and the cavalry board unanimously recommend the adoption of twenty-four inches of fire for arms. Exhaustive tests of a cartridge for the new rifle have proved most satisfactory. WHAT GERMANS CALL AUTO. It Is Described Fully by an Expressive Name, "It itmes to me that the German language has a bit the better of the English tongue when it comes to the name given that useful and popular thing, the automobile," said an observant man in the New Orleans Times Democrat, "though I will admit there is a chance for controversy on this point. The German for automobile is 'selbstfahrer', meaning literally 'self driver.' This seems to me to be a better and more expressive name for the automobile. It seems to me to come nearer describing the thing than the English word. Yet it cannot be insisted that English combination of the words 'auto' and 'mobile' is altogether unhappy. "That would most literally be 'you're being bad.' There are many worse combinations in this day of rapid word making. Still I have a strong preference for the German way of saying automobile. 'Selbstfahrer' seems to me to fit the bill. "By the way, the German for telephone is not bad either when you come to think of it. 'Fernsprecher' they say in German. Here we have another very happy combination. Literally 'fernsprecher' means 'far-speaker'. This is what the telephone is from my way of looking at it. Possibly it is not so musical as the English word. Yet there is a deal of poetry in the idea of 'far-speaking', something just a bit suggestive of the echo. I do not regard this combination quite as fortunate as the other one to which I have referred, but it is by no means bad at that. I like the other one, but think we could make no very serious difference if we could steal it and inorganize it in the English language. It might simplify our language to some extent because of the many uses to which we have put the prefix 'auto' at ready." WHAT TOMMY WOULD DO Mcant to Change His Sleeping Hours When a Man. Tommy's disinclination to go to bed at night is only exceeded by his reluctance to get up in the morning. The regular daily routine includes driving him to bed at 8 p. m. and dragging him there from 8 a. m. Sleep has no attractions for him until it actually enfoils him in its paralyzing embrace, and then he sticks to the bed like a woodick to a woodchuck him his mother had called him seven times, and finally induced him to arise by finally grasping his left ear between her thumb and forefinger, she wailed: "Oh, Tommy, Tommy, why do-o-n' you get up when I call you? What will become of you when you get to be a man?" "I know," growled sleepy Tommy. "When I get to be a big man I'm not a goin' to get up in the morning until two o'clock in the afternoon!" Cow Belts. —George Cooper in New York Sun. Harrigan's Unconscious Bull Harrigan's Unconscionable Bull. Edward Harrigan, the Irish comedian, is occasionally guilty of an Irish bull, as this incident proves. He was seated at a table with his elf, the friend had ordered whisky, and the liquor was served in a decanter holding enough for several drinks. They sat for some time talking, and when the time came for paying the bill, the friend informed the waiter that he had but one drink. "What?" said Harrigan. "Only one! it seems to me you have had two." "No, Ned, only one." persisted the friend. "Well, perhaps you are right," said Harrigan. "I'll admit I didn't see you take the first drink, although I did see you take the second."—New York Times. Typical "Sea Dog." Commander Stuart, in charge of the naval recruiting station in South street, New York, has for his chief assistant William Manning, a boatswain who has been a sailor for forty-nine years. He is now 66 years old, but does not look 50. Manning has touched at nearly every port known to mariners and was with Commodore Perry on the high seas expedition to Japan for the purpose of seizing the country that country to American traders, nearly half a century ago. Eight times in the course of his career he re-enslained and has finally come to the conclusion that life as a land-lubber is not worth living. Big Wages to Cooks. A skillful cook commands a higher salary than the average clergyman or college professor. At present French cooking is most in demand, and French cooks get the highest salaries. The professional cooks are divided into two classes—chefs and seconds. The chefs receive salaries varying from $3,000 to $12,000 a year. The seconds receive from $1,000 to $1,500 SHAH OF PERSIA 1 OF GERMANY THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA EMPEROR WILLIAM OF G companies him on his journey by yacht or rail and occupies a front place at all important functions which need to be photographed. This artist is privileged to supply such photographs for general use, with the consent of the Emperor, and is encouraged in every way. It is said, and the statement is probably correct, that the German Emperor has been photographed more times than any other man in the world. A German hundred different encyclopedias have hundred different photographs of the Emperor had been published in German papers alone in five years. The accompanying photograph of Emperor William has been selected from a large collection. It has many merits which are especially rare in the photographs of royalty. The expression both of face and figure is absolutely unconscious and unstudied. There has been no photographer to pose the head or the figure to awkwardness. The spontaneous smile which lights up the face is clearly not the sort which is called for by hacky, hacky hacky. The pose of the figure is equally natual and lifelike. Then, again, the crowd which greets him has been very happily caught and well repays careful study. The uplifter arms, the expressions of the faces varying from wild enthusiasm to cold scrutiny are clearly defined. Page Defective Page The promised visit of King Leopold of Belgium to America will satisfy a long felt want among the camera flands. It is said that during the tour of the country made by Prince Henry a camera clicked every fifth second. The number of snap shots of the German Prince which have been published exceeded one thousand. Including the number of pictures, good and bad, which were actually taken throughout the country, the numbers ```markdown ``` doubliest ran into the tens of thousands. A king of course is much bigger game to bay than any Prince, and the enthusiasm of the camera brigands will know no bounds. The anxiety to get a good picture of royalty of course depends upon more than mere curiosity. Throughout Europe there is always a ready market for such photographs at a good price. Every monarch of Europe is safe to say, has been caught by the snap shot artists many of the thousands of times, yet demand thousands of pictures of this kind seems never to flag. In America, where the number of illustrated publications is even greater than in Europe, the demand for such pictures is certain to exceed any possible supply. The approaching visits of several royal personages to the United States during the St. Louis Exposition lends particular interest to this unique industry. In addition to King Leopold, president Loubet of France and the Prince of Wales have announced their expectation of visiting the Exposition. It will be interesting to contrast the work of the snap-shot fraternity at home and abroad in this peculiarly difficult work. Hunting for a king with a snip-shot is more difficult than for any ordinary personage. Royalty is so closely guarded as to become an extremely difficult target. So well recognized is the demand for such pictures in some parts of Europe that a special photographer is appointed to attend to this work. The Emperor of Germany has had a favorite photographer for years who ac Bare Diplomacy. "The power of diplomatic utterance is a great thing," said Major McDowell, clerk of the House of Representatives. "It is always well to have an anchor to windward in your speech. "Now, I remember a town character up in Franklin, Pa, who was continually grafting for drinks. One day some of the boys in in one of the hotels thought they would cure him. They fixed up a drink of whiskey that was a wonder. They put tobacco and red pepper and a few things like that in a glass and filled it to the brim with wisky. The grafter, came along and they offered the drink to him. He tossed it down. "It burned, of course, and Andy written about ten minutes before he could talk. Then one of the tricksters asked him, 'Andy, how did you like that whiskey?' "Andy was diplomatic. Instead of denouncing the drink he thought there might be others coming and he contented himself with saying, 'It among the worst.'" -Washington correspondence New York World SATURDAY. JANUARY 9, 1904. ```markdown ``` An even more faithful portrait is the snap shot of King Edward VII. It shows the King walking unattended at a race track at Paris. It will be seen that—in the throng which surrounds the King few recognize him. She Treasured His Scalp Lock. "I suppose," remarked the man who prides himself on his winning ways with the other sex, "that in the pretty lock you are wearing there is some memento—some token of a past love affair." "How did you guess it?" asked the dazzling creature beside him. "Yes, there's a remembrance—a lock of my husband's hair!" The man of fascinating manner looked surprised. "Why," said he, "had no idea that you were a widow. They told me, if I mistaken not, that your husband and I are," responded the beautiful woman, "but his hair is gone!" —New York Press. The University of Chicago has delivered itself of an essay "On a Formula for Determining the Weight of the Central Nervous System of the Frog From the Weight and Length of its Entire Body." No wonder Dr. Harper is clamoring for the preparatory schools to relieve the universities of two years of their work—Louisville Courrier-Journal MILITARY THE FEDERAL MEMORIAL CEREMONY QUEEN OF SPAIN INFANTA DUCHESS OF ALBA which is in itself a remarkable setting. Meanwhile the King is smiling and in the very act of carrying his hand to his hat. The entire pose of the figure, the slightly jaunty angle of the hat, the evidence of careful dressing and grooming all distinguish at a glance the "First Gentleman of Europe." In singular contrast to this is the remarkable snap shot of President Lennard MacArthur and Prince George of Greece. The picture was taken just after a shooting expedition at the President's official summer residence. The party is regarding the bay. The wide trousers common among the poorer classes in France and the unassuming soft felt hat of the President contrast oddly with the raiment either of the German Emperor or the English King. The pose also very happily catches the familiar expression. The picture of Prince George of Greece standing at the extreme left of the group also catches a royal personage quite unawares. Equally unusual in every respect is the snap shot of the Queen of Spain, which was taken while she was shopping recently in Paris. The royal personages are even plainly dressed and walking quite unaccompanied along the streets. The Queen, the mother of the present King of Spain, is on the inside, next comes her daughter, while the Queen's sister, the Duchess of Alba, walks next the curb. The photographs show that Life on Other Planets. Upon the question whether life-bearing planets can exist in other solar systems than our own, the answer of science is clear and distinct. The same which Professor Newcomb recently gave concerning the possible inhabitants of Mars: "The reader knows just as much of the subject as I do, and that is nothing at all." Within our solar system we can indeed form some crude estimate of probabilities, beyond it nothing. All the amazing progress of modern science, all the revelations of our planetary biology, all the advance in biology have not brought us one step nearer an answer to the question, "Is this the only inhabited world?" We stand essentially where Whewell and Brewster did half a century ago, or we might indeed say where Galleo and Capoano were 300 years ago. We can indeed spin out the discussion at greater length than our predecessors and can introduce less irrelevant facts, but of serious argument, either for or against, we are entirely destitute—Knowledge.

The picture tells the story at a glance. All three are walking rapidly and all are conscious of the presence of the camera feend, and are trying to avoid the inevitable. The Shah of Persia is doubtless the least photographed of all the monarchs. The accompanying snap shot was taken during his visit last year to England. The Shah actually posed for the artist as the picture indicates. It is only while he is abroad that he allows any such liberties to be taken with his royal personage. In Persia a snap shot artist who approached with a camera would be arrested long before he got within range. The story is told of the Shah that during his visit to England he was asked if he had any photographers about his life. He is expert to have said, "and I shall have one of them beheaded as soon as I get home." The Emperor of Austria is shown in another picture of the collection as he leaves the door of one of his palaces for a drive. Here again the artist has been given very fortune in catches eminently characteristic in the. The Emperor is shown pulling his coat about him as he walks in a very natural manner while he regards the photographer with good natured tolerance.

The way they work into commercial houses is astonishing. A large percentage of public and prosperous business men of America began as newsbys, but probably no one realizes how many work their way up from the gutter to wealth and influence. They begin as hangers-on and are recruited from the street. Their wits have been sharpened by contact with the sordid side of life and by observation in the school of the street. They know the value of friends. So they are to be found at the door of every big house, ready at any time to run an errand, always at hand to pick up an umbrella or open a door. And before the people who regularly pass in and out of the doors of the place realize it one of these men is not supposed to see is on the payroll. Somebody to see is on the payroll.

Gladstone John Morley, a few days after the publication of his "Life of Gladstone," told in a speech at Sheffield a story of Mr. Gladstone's boyhood. "The lad," he said, "was in the country. A farmer was showing him over his estate. The farmer would pause before each field to describe it, and before every cow, horse and pig he would make a brief biographical address. "Finally they came to a small field that contained a large black bull. "That is a fine bull there, Master William, said the farmer. 'A very fine, strong, two-year old bull.' "Why, by its horns." The little boy frowned. He paused a moment. Then his countenance cleared. "Ah," he said, "by its horns. I see. Two horns—two years." Excruciatingly Funny Representative Cushman of Washington, who has been pronounced the lonely man in the House now that Jesse Eddy of Minnesota has retired, and who is also the humorist of the House, arrived all breathless this morning after a wild dash from Tacoma to save his $1,200 mileage. He was sworn and took a seat, smiling exansively. "Heard any new jokes lately?" asked Representative Tawney. "No," said Cushman, "nothing that sounded quite so gleeful as that swearing-in I just got. I tell you there is a lot of humor in $1,200." The Spencer He Knew: "So Herbert Spencer is dead," exclaimed the literary editor as he directed the sporting reporter, whom he met in the elevator.

He was a bricklayer, the darnest fellow duck and wing dance you ever saw." And the sporting man has yetailed to understand why the literary man laughed. Prices Since 1840. Looking at the whole period of sixty-three years, it is found that the hours of labor have been lessened nearly 10 per cent; that the relative money wages, in gold, have increased over 60 per cent, and that the relative wholesale prices, in gold, of ninety leading articles of consumption have fallen over 10 per cent. The condition of the wage-earner, therefore, so far as that condition is determined by wages, cost of living, and hours of labor, has vastly improved since 1840.—Hon. Carroll D.

JANUARY 9. 1904. THE ALTON SCHOOL CASE The famous Alton School case has been decided against the Afro-American. The board of education several years ago built a special school for white African Scott Gibb and a number of others refused to send their children there and attempted to send them to the nearest public school. The superintendent of schools refused to permit this and a suit for mandamus was brought in Blibs' name and has been reused and remanded upon various points each time. An appeal will be taken to the state supreme court. Money will be needed to make the fight and the Afro-Americans of Illinois ought to furnish it. The Appeal will give $10 to start the fund. How much will you give, kind reader? It seems very strange that the white people can flatter themselves into the belief that they are treating their dark-skinned brothers and sisters right when they do the damnable, outrageous things they do; or that they can imagine that they—the dark-skinned brothers and sisters with such treatment. Every one knows that all distinctions are odious, and when any distinctions are made they ought to know that a spirit of resentment is engendered. Such an unaccented spirit of resentment dominate where Afro-Americans are concerned. The most despicable, the most unfair incident which has come to our notice recently, although it is only one of one million of them, is the opening every day, is the following: A few days since a state "Elstededof" was held by the Welsh residents of Iowa at Des Moines; there was a panoforce competition for a prize held, the winner being Joanna joining room where they were not permitted to see the performers. When the decisions of the judges was rendered it was found that Marguerite Field, a pupil of Irving School, Des Moines, had been awarded first prize, the winner was an Afro-American, and although she had been allowed to compete for the prize without protest, when it was found that she had won the first prize, the wise men of the "Elstededof" held a meeting and decided that the prize was not caused she was an Afro-American. The child, for she is only thirteen years old, was heart-broken by the decree of the association. She shed tears in abundance and waived and again. "I am not to blame for having a black girl in my class," she was forced to do without the honors she had earned. It is claimed that according to the rules of the association the color line had to be drawn; and if that is a fact, the poor little girl should not have been humiliated in the process. She was been allowed to enter the contest. Shame! shame!! shame!! DISFRANCHISEMENT IN MARYLAND. The Democratic leaders in Maryland are giving careful consideration to the matter of an amendment to the constitution of the state to disfranchise Afro-Americans. Democrats injected the race question into the campaign last fall and made it one of the principal issues. As the Democrats won a victory for their state and legislative ticket, they consider they stand pledged to the cause of the African-American limitation upon the suffrage which will deprive the Afro-Americans of participation in the elections. The Maryland leaders recently had a conference with Senator Gorman in Washington and the matter was discharged. It has been reached. It has been suggested that the proposed amendment be drafted by a committee of the best Democratic laws of the state. It is then to be submitted to the most prominent Democratic legislators in an opinion whether the amendment would stand the test of the Supreme Court of the United States. The United States is by many persons regarded as the leading country in the matter of publishing books and pamphlets, yet statistics show that the United States is the most German lends with 26,699; Japan is second with 21,255; and, surprising as it is, Russia makes a good third with 17,895; France, 12,199; Italy, 9,975; and the United States with an output of 7,323. The United States have quality to offset more numbers. The Afro-American is "making good" along many lines. Ford Thompson wrote in 1922 that he was of Washington, sailed last week for Haiti, where he will occupy the position of pianist to the President of Haiti for four months at a salary of $5,000 for that period. At the expiration of that time young Dabuyn will go to Germany, and President Loubet and then to Germany. Elsewhere we publish in full the associated press account of the reception given by the white people of Los Angeles to the world-famed "Fisk Jubilee Singers", an organization that has overcome the wold and appeared before crowned heads and the royal families and been entertained socially and otherwise everywhere they have gone except in the land of their birth. The Tazewell (Va) Republican, a Caucasian journal, says that amalgamation is a violation of the laws of God. If the illegal amalgamation of white men and Afro-American women, so customary in the South, is referred to we guess he is right. Mice, Vince, the strong woman who lifted fifes horses, has convinced Judge Roe of Jersey City that her thaty husband beat her and was granted a divorce. The husband was five feet in height and weighed 100 pounds. There is weighed money in the Treasury that it will possible to make payment on the canal without issuing bonds. That's Republican prosperity. Roosevelt will have no contest for the neltion next June. There is a slight opposition, but by the time the convention meets it will have vanished. Washington city has an Afro-American population of more than 100,000, the largest of any city in the United States. The American Negro Academy met last week at Washington and tried its hand at settling the Negro problem.

A POLITICAL HISTORY OF SLAVERY A Political History of Slavery. By William H. Reed, with contributions by Whitehall Reed. Two volumes, $80. Net. $1.50. By mail. $5.00. New York: HarperCollins. A Political History of Slavery," by Wm. Henry Smith, is an elaborated story of the controversy over the slave question in the United States, with a history to the close of the Reconstruction period in the United States. A Political History of Slavery," by Whitehall Reed, which tells of Mr. Smith's career and which gives quite an extended criticism of these two very instructive vol- In Chapter I, the author says: "If there is one thing clearly established, it is that the Constitution formed the Constitution; who, recognizing that such an institution was inconsistent with Christian civilization, inconsistent with the nature of the law for which the colonies had contended, was a public, refrained from inserting in that great charter a name so repulsive to free speech that it was not a percipient witness to the public sentiment of that day. There was no state from the taint of slavery and the feeling of oppression in the colonies was in no sense dependent upon sectional lines". Its ultimate extinction was generalized to be the rule. This came early north of Maryland, and it is not unreasonable to believe that the institution of the African slave trade, emancipation would have followed in Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, Kentucky and "Opposition to the institution of slavery sinfulness or from economic and social policies. The resistance of those who oppose it, or from sinfulness or from its destructive influence became as impotent as his, or succumbed to the violence its source in religious feelings played an important part in the creation of a new religion. Other denominations in the employment of moral influence for the eradication of slavery outspoken utterances in the Presbyterian, Baptist and Methodist churches at an early stage are especially in Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. THE DOOR OF HOPE I cannot consent to take the position that the door of hope—the door of opportunity—is to be shut upon any man, no matter how worthy, purely upon the grounds of race or color.— PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. many years' study and contact with the leading men of those stirring times. The Outbreak of the War, in which he says: "We have been distressed by the treatment with汁汁s. They become the dupes of Knaves, the instrument of the war, and they induce disorders to enter in; they are the real enemies to human progress. When they are in the war, they with men resolute in purpose to disrupt the Union and overthrow the government, and to impotent as he was in fact as the executive. Imagine Andrew Jackson, the first president of the 1860-18. Would members of Congress engaged in the work of disunion have been the same House? Would they have billed him ORGANIZED LABOR The war of '61-5 will never cease: a personal and never failing topic of auspising interest. This is so, because it is the ones who still survive its viciouslusts; those giants still survive its viciouslusts; and those men deeply brace their long and dreadful marches; its Gargoyles and Chickens; profoundly influenced the civilizations that pervade us; and verbera all the various activities of American life. These '33 things the author's volume is interesting. It can be read with pity by any one of the many which remain unwritten, is brought forth One of the most interesting chapters in the volume is one called "Confederacy toward the "Negro Soldier." The author tells us, that nearly every important Confederate commander in the Confederate Senate, and the two soldiers; that the matter was finally debated in the Confederate Senate, and the two soldiers; was defeated by but one vote—that of the Confederate circumstances of the Confederacy became so visible that the leaders were forced to act. "A draft order was issued to force the black soldier to fight under the Confederacy, made effective, the fall of Richmond, and the flight of Jefferson Davis was at hand. This time in view of the present propaganda of the Southern people, to debase the Confederacy, to enlist as a soldier, willing in the last desperate strift of the Confederacy, to enlist as a soldier." There are other very interesting chapters in the book. The style is clear, uninhibited, and the author has written instructively. THE MILLIONAIRE'S SON The second volume of the successful second edition, a newly collection of short tales for children, which will prove as popular with children as the first, written in PRIMARY EDUCATION, writing of the first series, stated, with truth: "The mother is the mother for story-telling in this famous author, who never seems to find the little ones happy." The publishers can assure the author's wide circle of admirers that "More Five Minute Stories" is one of the best books children's books she has ever written. **SALLY WISTER'S JOURNAL** Sally Wister's Journal.

Her "teet rafts" and her peril. Her "teet rafts" and her peril. Her first saw these soldiers, but she soon overcomes the feeling thus expressed and the voice is summon up all your resolution, call fortitude to your aid, and not suffer anything like courage; is what I stand in need of myself.

Much of the matter that has been given to the public bears the stamp of business and all preparation, can hardly be missed. Annie Hollingworth Wharton, however, in 1880, wrote a book that written historically and well. This lady lasted a period, and the previous volumes which she has written dealing with the men, the women, the business and the most strenuous period of development and evolution was not only covered by the book, but also by the look forward with much expectation to the volume, which may be termed exhaustively. In a chapter on "Jeffersonian Simplification When Mrs. Madison gave expression to her sweeping strictures upon Democracy, when Mrs. Madison in favor of Mr. Jefferson, with whom she was a great favorite. Indeed it was given the precedence to Mrs. Madison at a state dinner that he aroused the animosity of the Merry, White House etiquette does not seem to have occupied Mr. Jefferson's life. White House etiquette and either from carelessness or because of his de-fiant red-republicanism, he quite senses the importance of the author writes interesting chapters on the politics, society and intellectual issues of the early inhabitants of the Republic. --- With this dearth of material to work upon, the student can fully appreciate the importance of learning upon himself to acquire data from which to accurately describe this momentous event.

REFUSED FOOD FISK JUBILEE CONCERT TROUPE SUFFERS AT LOS ANGELES. City Famed 'for Its Hospitality Declines to Furnish Necessities for Musicians Who Entertain 'Large, Sympathetic and Cultured Audience While III from Lack of Nourishment. Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 3.—If the great, kindly hearted audience of cultured people who sat spellbound and dewy-eyed through the program rendered by the Fisk Jubilee Singers in Simpson Auditorium the other night had known that the little band of dark-skinned melodists were weak with hunger and heartsticks from harsh treatment and inhospitality, their hearts would have gone out to them with a far dear sympathy. Inconceivably at it may seem, it is a fact that these gentle-mannered strangers were that day denied both food and shelter in Los Angeles, with its hundreds of restaurants, hotels and lodging houses, although they had the money in their pockets to pay well for whatever accommodations they might ask. Throughout the day they wandered from door to door for food to eat and a Place to Lay Their Heads. There are seven people in the Fisk Jubilee Singers Company, and Mrs. Maggie Porter Cole, who has directed the organization for many years, woman of culture and taint. There are several women in Los Angeles society who deeply cherish her pupils, and hold her in the greatest respect. Her company is composed of educated, refined young men and women, and wherever they go throughout the country they are treated as other professional people are treated. During their last visit to this city they met with no difficulty in securing a place to sleep and lodge, and the poor, hungry, shelterless folk found it hard to understand why the situation had so radically changed within a few weeks. The company arrived from Riverside at 5 o'clock in the morning and immediately applied for breakfast at a quiet cafe on Spring street. To their great astonishment their patronage was declined. Then Their Trouble Began. From place to place they kept up a ceaseless quest for food, but 'met with the same cruel refusal at every door. Finally at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, they wound up in Hunger Street, Riverside and there they were served. But that was their only meal during the day. While they stood before the crowd in the auditorium as late as ten o'clock at night, thrilling the heart of all who heard them with the matchless "Sorrow Songs" of their race, Manager Venter was still wondering where he was to get supper for them. The restaurant where they dined, when upon their purchase itself used to enter upon this time, although they still had a book of its meal tickets. The Santa Fe Eating House was closed. The search for quarters where the singers could lodge was as dishearring as was the search for an eating place. Mr. Venter asserts that after the company had exhausted every effort of their own he personally applied by telephone. To F forty-two Lodging House, but not one of them would receive American gifts. At length he submitted in securing rooms at a place on West Second street. "Good Lord, keep me from sinking down," ran the song, and they put their hearts into that one especially, for when folks are weak with fasting and weary with tramping there is a good deal of that "sinking down" feeling inside of them.
