TAKING OF VELASCO TEXAN CALLS IT BRAVEST DEED OF AMERICAN HISTORY. How Strong Position, Garrisoned by the Pick of the Mexican Army, Fell Before a Handful of Determined Southerners. "Talk about old Ethan Allen and Tiendoroga," said the old Texas old-timer, the bravest deeds in the world's history were those of the early Texas patrols. "The capture of Tiendoroga was effected by strategy in the dead of night. Neither that nor the storming of Stony Point nor the thousand and one other achievements of a similar nature with which writers have taken so much pride in embellishing the pages of American history are equal in point of valor to one incident in the early history of this state. The taking of the fort at Fort Vesco, in 1830, by less than a hundred of the men who hit it is the most heroic if not the most desperate attempts ever undertaken by the soldiers of any nation. "The fortress was situated on the extreme high ground at the mouth of the Brazos. It was circular, and consisted of double rows of high, stanch pickets, the interval of about five feet being filled with dirt, sand and prairie turf, rendering it proof against artillery unless of the largest calibre. It was garrisoned of 175 regulars, under the command of Colonel Ugartachale, the brave officer of the Mexican service, Ugartachale was a man of the La Vega stamp, who never yielded as long as a soldier could be brought to the guns. Besides a plaster of small plywood that could be turned in any direction. There was no covering around for an assailing enemy, save a small trading vessel lying at anchor in the river some distance above the fort. "Before the morning light had gleamed a little group under the guidance of Col. John Austin, nephew of S. F. Austin, were wending their way toward the fortress. The neigh of a horse across the slough, the roar of surf on the beach, the cry 'Ails will rise' on the ramparts, and the shrill notes of feathered songsters, early frightened from their nests, were the only sounds that broke the stillness of the gutty June morning. "But Ugartechae was not sleeping. The assailants had scarcely deployed into line, under the shadow of the fort, when the usual salutation, 'Who comes there?' told them that they were dis covered, and in simultaneous sound of ornate armor and artillery sounded the prelude to the day's bloody business. "For eight hours the conflict continued, and when at last the standard of Mexico was lowered the spectacle inside the fort was sickening. More than half of its brave defenders were killed, and the garrison was very few of the garrison escaped unattached. The loss on the side of the Texans was seven killed." SORRY HE MADE "KICK." Why Protect of John W. Gates Was Robbed of Weight. John W. Gates tells this story as the tale of the worst "call down" he ever received: "Some years ago I was going down from Chicago to St. Louis on the Wabash, and I want to say that I did strike a rotten train. I made the mistake of telling the conductor all about that train when he came around. There were about half a dozen men in the smoker, and they all listened gleefully while I told that conductor what I thought of his train service. "When I got through, and when I thought I had proved that the line needed help pretty bad, the conductor just looked at me for a second, and then said: "Hey, mister, that the train don't suit you. Can't help it, though. If you'll just let me see yer pass I'll be obliged." "And the worst of it was," added Mr. Gates, "that I was traveling on a dead-had ticket!"—New York Times. Precocious. "Some of the little ones I meet during my visits to my parochial school," said a well-known clergyman a few nights ago, "are remarkably bright. I met one a short time ago who was very pert, to say the least. "I visited the school just at recess time. As I entered the yard where the children were at play I found I was playing with 8 years old, call playmate a fool. Thinking to scare her a little bit and thus break her of the habit of using the word, I called her to me and said: "Julia, don't you know that when you call a person a fool you are within an inch of hell?" "Quick as a flash the little one turned around and again called her playmate." "Child," I said, surprised and shocked, "what made you do that?" Cupid Unmasked. Said Cupid to his Love, one day, His voice all of pleading. "Come, take my mask from off your face. Your soul I would be reading!" But Phyllis shook her head, "A march you would be stealing! Tell me, please, my face, My secret unrevealing!" Then Cupid fell upon his knees. He said, "Dear Heart, I love you! Come, Marry me, and I'll be true! True as the heavens above you!" Said Phyllis, "Now you're talking sense! And now you've taken off your mask Be removing mine. Dear!" THE APPEAL. THE WAYS OF "DRUMMERS." Two Distinct Types of the Hustlers for Business. Three commercial tourists were swapping yarn around the table at a hotel recently and the talk drifted to expenses. "My firm has always been liberal in the matter," said the first drummer, "but they got taken in badly once. They needed a man for the western part of the state and took on a young fellow from away oown East, who put up an elegant bluff and signed a year's worth with them for $1,000 and $5 a day expenses. He couldn't sell gold dollars for a nickel apiece, but he saved $2,000 that year and started in business for himself and is now one of our competitors." "Our people don't care what a man's expenses are so long as he sells the goods," said Salesman No. 2, "but once in a while they register a kick on principle. Last year, about this time, I got in from a short trip through Ohio and Kentucky. It was new ground to me and I did fairly well. When I handed in my expense account the junior partner said to me: "See here, old man. I made that trip myself two years ago for $25 less than it cost you, and I charged up a $50 overcoat."—Philia delphia Press. MORAL IN THIS STORY. Impossible to Efface All Consequences of Wrong Doing. Speaking once of the impossibility of ever completely effacing the consequences of mischief done in boyish pranks. Senator Scott of West Virginia said: "My boon companion in boyhood was a mischievous lad whose father would drive a nail into the bark of a tree facing the veranda for every transgression his son was guilty of. For every good deed that he would, I am loath to say, somewhat rarely be credited with, a nail would be removed. This debt and credit account continued and in course of time, such an effect did the custom have on him that not a nail remained. In after effect, I visit to the old Farm my friend contemplated this tree with much gravity, and then burst out crying. His old father standing by incurred as to the cause of his tears, and his hopeful offspring, still sobly replied: "Father, the nails are all gone, but the holes will always remain."—New York Times. Unfortunate Slip. Dr. Adrian G. Peters tells of a indiscreant remark made by a young man just about to graduate into the ministry. The readful divine was called upon to address the inmates of a penitentiary on an occasion when the prisoners were assembled in the chapel for prayers. When he looked down from his pulpit at the deprived and desperate-looking characters in the congregation, the young person experienced quite a turn. Surely he would find it difficult to say anything that would impress such an audience. He entirely forgot, in that instant, all the fine sentiments he had prepared. He cleared his hat and—then he finished. Finally he spoke, but instead of the fine address he had hoped to make the best he could stammer toth was: "Ah, my friends, 'Am indeed happy to see so many of you here this morning!"—Lippincott's. A. Character Sketch. I knew a man who thought he knew it all: He knew how earth became a rolling ball. He knew the source and secret of all life. He also knew how Adam came to fall. He knew the causes of the glacial age, And what it was that made the deluge He knew in fact, he knew most everything: In his own mind he was earth's greatest sage. His knowledge was of such stupendous it took in everything upon the earth And in the heavens; but, most strange He didn't know a thing of real worth. He knew where people go when they are dead. Remained Uncured. A few months ago a concert was given by a Continental string quartet, and to it an enthusiastic amateur orraged in an incurably unmusical friend to hear the party interpreter beaten. At the end of the concert the enthusiast, feeling that such superfine fiddling required explanation, exclaimed proudly: "Those four men have been playing together for ten years uninterrupted." Years later" said the victim, in a reproachful tone "Why, surely we've been longer than that!" At a dinner party given by Jochsmil, at which were present Brahms, an guest of honor, and also Prof. Dorn of Naples and Von Herzogenberg, the composer, an amusingly characteristic scene occurred. Jochsmil, in a few well chosen words, was asking his guests not to lose the opportunity of drinking the health of the greatest composer. Before he could say the name Brahms bounded to his feet, glass in hand, called out: "Quite right! Here's Mozart's health!" and walked round, clinking glasses with every one. His old hatred of personal eulogy was thus expressed 1777 THE GURNEY STEAM CARRIAGE OF 1897 THE FIRST AMERICAN FLOORSEES BARRIERS - 1806 The world moves slowly until it gets a good start, and then it goes with a whiz. Which may be the reason why the world has gone ahead faster and further during the last six thousand years than it did during the previous six million years of its existence. As the Creator of the world had to wait, and no doubt worry, a long, long time before it became fairly started, it is not to be wondered at that men in later times who seek to introduce something new and strange must also wait and worry before it gets a start. Skipping the hundreds of inventions of the last thousand years, we come to the automobile, which in some respects is the latest of the really great THE GURNEY STEAM CARRIER THE FIRST AIRPLANE innovations, the latest of the epoch makers, so to speak, because does not exist. We call it a new thing, but it is not, As early as 1769, one hundred and thirty-four years ago, Joseph Cugnot, a French artillery officer, had a road wagon in operation transporting artillery. It was not a success, but it set an example which its successors of today are still prone to follow, to wilt, it ran away, and, butting into a stone fence, wrecked itself. Rude road wagons were also devised by Englishmen, Matthew Boulton, partner of James Watt, frightened horse and people just as others do in this day and generation. In the year 1751, eighteen years before Cugnot's wagon had appeared, Oliver Evans was born at or near the little town of Newport. in the little state of Delaware. Oliver's father and mother were thrifty people of the plain sort, who wanted their boy to become a farmer, and so he was apprenticed, but Oliver's mind was on mechanics, who wanted their boy to be the place of horses in drawing wagons, and he left the farm and went home to potter about a blacksmith shop just around the corner from his house. Wanted Good Luck. "Some women," said the Chestnut street reserve, "are so superstitious that they seem to think bad luck to pass a pin on your shoulder. When the streets are crowded with you would think they wouldn't have much time to bother with such things, but that's where you are wrong. There was a perfect blockade at my corner this morning, all caused by an elderly female who had caught sight of a pin lying on the pavement. At once she slipped down without any regard for the other people who were walking along, and tried to pick it up. She wore gloves, and the pin eluded her grasp. Again and again she attempted to capture it, but it always managed to escape her. Of course, all this only took a few minutes, but already the people were walking in the street to go around her. Finally what did she go but deliberately remove the glove on her right hand, pick up the pin with her bare fingers and stock it into the lapel of her coat. And, having satisfied herself, traffic was once more resumed." -Philadelphia Record. and he now began to feel the burden of the poor inventor. He knew what he could do, what he had done, but there was no man with money who thought as Oliver did, and he struggled along, as the moneyless must. He did not confine himself exclusively to steam engines, for road wagons, but invented, among other things, a almost revolutionized that manufacture, and made him a little money, which he spent at once in developing his other inventions. He also made the first high pressure engine, a long step in advance of the Newcomen and the Watt engine. At eighteen—that is, in 1769, Cug- CARRIAGE of 1827 AMERICAN HORSELESS CARRIAGE - 1806. not's year—he went to Philadelphia as a wheelrheed's apprentice. Philadelphia was no more rapid in those days than its is reputed to be now, and Evans did not get on very fast. In some mysterious manner he managed to eke out an existence, and even to marry, but he could not get his horseless carriage on the road, nor could he prevail upon capitalists to assemble him in riding a railroad from Philadelphia to New York, one of the great dreams of his life. Blind as the world was, this struggling inventor and visionary saw the true light ahead and of it he wrote to a newspaper: "The time will come when people will travel in stages moved by steam at fifteen to twenty miles an hour. A carriage will leave Washington in the morning, breakfast in Baltimore, dine in Philadelphia and sup in New York the same day. Railways will be laid on iron or wood, or on smooth paths of broken stone or gravel, to travel to the other day. People will not be able to disembark the legislature or congress did not grant the inventor such protection as might have enabled him to put these great improvements in operation sooner, he having asked neither money nor a monopoly of any existing thing." Evans was right. Posterity has not been able to discover the why or Strength of Paper Money. That the paper money of the United States endures a vast amount of rough and careless handling is a fact that must have been impressed upon any one who has ever observed the manner in which the average cashier pulls and jerks the bills he counts before pushing them through the window to the waiting patron, says the Saturday Evening Post. A single treasury note measures 3¼ inches in width by 7¼ inches in length. It will sustain, without breaking, lengthwise, a weight of 41 pounds; crosswise, a weight of 91 pounds. The notes run four to a sheet—a sheet being 8¼ inches wide by 13¼ inches long. One of the sheets lengthwise will suspend 108 pounds, and crosswise 177 pounds. and to have the pin on the ing core it will be noted that a single note is capable of sustaining, crosswise, a weight of 91 pounds, which is twice the amount, by nine pounds, of the weight the note can sustain lengthwise; while in the case of the sheet, the crosswise sheet lacks 99 pounds of double the sustaining power of the lengthwise sheet. Defective Page whether, nor will its powers of discovey be any larger a hundred years hence. The way of the inventor is up hill all the time, past, present and future. Evans was dead and buried nearly a dozen years before Peter Cooper went down from New York city with an engine he had built at his glue factory, and proved to the managers of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad that an engine could be successfully run over the crooked thirteen miles of their track. And he had been under ground a quarter of a century before his dream of a road between New York and Philadelphia came true. In 1786 the legislature of Maryland granted him the right of way over OLIVER NON OLIVER EVANS roads in that state for his horseless wagon, but it was not until .804 that the actual horseless wagon was demonstrated. In that year the Philadelphia board of health wanted the water cleaned about the docks, and Evans was given a commission to build a machine for the purpose. He put his ideas into iron and turned out his "Orauter Amphibious," of "Digger," a horseless carriage on the road and a sailless vessel on the water. He had become so poor that his wife was compelled to spin tow cloth and sell it for the family sustenance, and now, when his wagon was made, it was too heavy, and to reconstruct the workmen offered to the the first automobile in America, was completed, and it was put on exhibition at Central Square, where the city hall now stands. Here it was run around the square daily and the public was invited to pay a shilling a head to look at it, one-half the money to go to the workmen, the other half to the inventor, not for his support, but to be expended in further improvements. After the "Digger" had proved that it could go by its own power on land, it was run down to the Schuylkill, where it was rigged at its stern, and it took to the water, going down to the Delaware river and to its destination, sixteen miles, passing all sailing vessels on the ay. The "Digger" answered the purpose for which it was built, but it did not open the pocketbooks of the capitalists, and Evans still struggled on. Spectacled and gray at forty, he was wrinkled and old now, but the spirit was strong within him, and he kept on. By some means he secured a seat in the Senate when he was not busy with his dreams, and he made a comfortable living for his family. But this was too good luck, and on April, 11, 1819, his soap was burned to the ground, destroying all his papers and his patterns. It was a fatal stroke to this man of sorrows, but he met it bravely, and went at once to New York to secure means for re-establishing himself. There the reaction came, and the Commercial Advertiser of April 16, 1819, contained, under the head of "Deaths," the "Testerday, at the house of Elijah Ward, Oliver Evans, Esq., of Philadelphia, in his sixty-fourth year." That was the end. The body was buried at the old Zion burying ground, whence many years later it was removed to Cypress Hills, Long Island, where it rests now in an unmarked grave. Olivus Evans is forgotten, but the mobilists of Amherst him, and the auto-mobilists of Aurora him, last resting place and erect over it a monument worthy of the man.—William J. Lampton in New York Herald. Had Pride in Her Town. "A young North Carolina girl gave me a center shot the other day as a token of that pride of locality which is more pronounced in the South than elsewhere," said Mr. Henry O. Conners of Baltimore, at the Ebbitt. "It was quite a small place, but it boasted one very fine hotel, at which I stopped all night. After a good breakfast I paid my bill to the grown daughter of the lady who ran the tavern and who was quite up in the duties of a cashier. "I have a nice little town here, misz, and I tried to make friends with the good-looking clerk, 'but I must say that I never knew there was such a town on the map till the Southern Railroad landed me yesterday." "Eying me coolly and looking me squarely in the eye, the Tarkeel maid en said: 'Where be you from, misz?

Paraguay is About to Engage in the Culture on a Large Scale. The recent advance in the price of cotton in this country and in England has stimulated the culture of the plant in other countries. The possibility that the cotton manufacturers of the world are facing the prospect of a dearth of raw material seems to have excited the people of Paraguay. Cotton grows wild in that country, and the cultivated product, though different from ours, has a long and fine staple. As in Peru, the plant is a small tree rather than a little bush, and it lives and produces for several years. European manufacturers have reported good results from its use. The Paraguayans, however, have never given much attention to its cultivation. The newspapers of Asunción have suddenly awakened to the opportunities presented, and have lavished to the occasion. They offer many sugars to the government and assert that cotton will yet place Paraguay on the high road to prosperity. They ask the government to employ the services of men of science, like Dr. Bertoni, to prepare pamphlets for distribution in the cotton trade of Great Britain, France and Germany, descriptive of the nature and qualities of Paraguayan cotton and the facilities for producing large supplies of it. They ask that Dr. Bertoni, Mr. Anisis and other exports be engaged to make a survey of the lands adapted to cultivation; also cultivation print and distribute among the farmers of the lowlands the best information as to the methods of cotton-raising. "We may in a short time export $100,000,000 worth of cotton in a year," announces the enthusiastic Paraguay, a German weekly published at Asun WHAT'S THE BILL GOOD FOR? Brooklyn Tailor's Comment on a Recent Find at Nippur. On the car the other morning I happened to hang by the strap next to Bimmelstein's. Between begging pardons of and granting pardons to my near neighbors, I managed to read a newspaper. One of them told of a remarkable find by a Nippur expedition of the University of Pennsylvania. It was nothing less than a well-preserved and thoroughly authenticated tailor's bill nearly 5,000 years old. Since Bimmelstein himself is engaged in the clothing business, I am interested in this ancient relic, so I told him about it, but the story seemed to make no impression on him. "Hang it man," said I, "don't you understand? It's a tailor bill almost 4,000 years old." He answered, "not las it good for? Do you cannot get it." No Plain Cooks. Sir Thomas Horne, the president of the Canadian Pacific Railroad, made recently a tour of inspection over the Pennsylvania line from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. Sir Thomas was much pleased with the service and cuisine of his dining car. He inspected the kitchen and showed great interest in the skilled men of the cook. The cook, who was something of a wag, described to him distinguished visitor the kitchens of the great New York hotels, where the walls are of glass, the floors of vitrified brick, the tables of white marble, and the cooking utensils of German silver. "A great hotel chef," he said, "has from fifty to seventy-five assistants under him, known one of these chefs, fitted him two weeks ago. His assistant cooks were all young women—the prettiest lot of young women I ever saw. "Why, Gaston," I said to my friend, why pretty girls you employ! "Indeed, they are pretty," said he "Plain cooks won't do here." Are Kind to Their Horses. Evidently there is one place where there is little need of a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, and that is Jersey. The farmers there are so careful of their horses that they do not work them more than is absolutely necessary, and frequently do work which is done elsewhere by horses. If a farmer has to plow a heavy piece of ground he is obliged to use his team, but if the ground which is to be broken up is light it is very probable that he will take the place of a horse. At first glance labor of this kind may seem very irksome, but it really is not, for the farms in Jersey are small and it does not take long to cultivate the ground. Still, in other places where the farms are equally small, no one thinks of sparing the horses, and there is little doubt that up-to-date agronomists consider the farmers far behind the times because in the kindness of their hearts they are as lenient to their horses as possible. We dance with proud and smiling lips. With frank, appealing eyes, with shy And to and fro we pass, since life is Patiently, with masked faces. Yet some there are who will not dance. They sit apart most sorrowful, and but all the rest trip on as in a trance. Until they die. Clique in life. Living Age HUSBAND AND HOME ARE THESE THE CHIEF IDEALS OF WOMAN? Writer Claims That Today, as Ever, the Instincts of the Gentian Sex Are for Love and Protection—True Mother the Bond of All. A generation ago to an ideal housekeeper was the chief ambition of almost every women. No girl desired a fairer fate than to be placed at the head of a household with a good and loving husband to supply all her wants and make her the mistress and the queen of his heart and his home. In most cases the girl who started housekeeping had more or less experience in the art under the tuition of her mother. She loved to decorate and beauty the house which was to be her home during the rest of her earthly pilgrimage. She loved to create delicacies for her husband and her children, and disguise it as we may, much of the reflection she received was due entirely to her skill as a homemaker. When her children grew up around her this kind and sympathetic mother and the pantry were the chief attractions in their world. As they grew older the ties only grew the stronger. When they required fun, they own the old house, with its abundance of good things, still had attractions for them. The kind old mother was still their best friend. She knew all the difficulties they had to encounter in starting homes of their own, and her advice and sympathy were worth more to them than gold. The grandchildren came to venerate her as a sort of veneration, and when she went away from the home circle she let a vacancy which could never be filled. But we are assured with every symptom of rejoicing that these conditions are passing; that women have been emancipated; that in the future they are to be, the rival, instead of the helmote of man, and that they must combine to enforce their joint rights to the female sex. This is nonsense pure and simple. It may be true that there are more manisha women in girls generation than there were in the last. It is unfortunately true that a larger proportion of the female population has been forced to be self-supporting, but it is not true that women enjoy the so-called "liberty" which The home instinct is too deeply planted in the heart of women to be removed by the effects of a generation of club work. It will never be removed. A few women may go after strange gods, but the natural wholesome girl will still find her highest ideal of happiness in a good husband and a cozy home. The closes may succeed in making such houses impossible to a few men and women by making the young women feel that they have a more important work in the world than the prosicide duty of home-making, but among the masses of the American people the mother will continue to be the bond which unites the unities of that holy institution the family, and she will continue in this exalted role until the end of all things.—Peoria Herald, Transcript.

The famous Alton School case has been decided against the Afro-American. The board of education several years ago built a special school for Afro-Americans. Scott Bibb 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 Bibbs' name against the officials. The suit has been to the appellate and the court, and has been reversed and remanded upon various points each time. An appeal will be taken to the state supreme court.

Kinghorn, a Caucasian who claims to be a Republican, is after the Beaufort, S. C., postoffice, but Robert Smalls has written a letter to the press, allowing that Kinghorn has always been a Democrat and has refused to act with the Republicans even when requested to do so. Chicago delegation in Congress has conferred with Postmaster Coyne and decides to favor plan for establishing three independent boards to achieve the congestion and expedite the movement of mails. All the Afro-American Democrats who are trying to get together ought to do as some are already doing, get into the Roosevelt band wagon. All of the Afro-American Democrats will go out of business after November A Caucasian girl in South Dakota turned bandage, held up and robbed a man. She was a school teacher and pretty. No pretty Afro-American teacher in the South has ever been charged with such a crime. Senator A. J. Hopkins would be an ideal candidate for vice-president on the ticket with Roosevelt. Roosevelt and Hopkins would sound Rosevelt and Hopkins would sound well and it would be a winner. In 1803 cotton exports reached the value of $378,000,000 and nine-tenths of this enormous crop was produced by Afro-Americans of the South. Mr. Cyrus Field Adams of THE APPEAL has been elected a member of the American Social Science Association. WEDDING FRUSTRATED. White Girl Spirited Away from Her Color Lover. Marshfield, Wis., Jan. 20—Wyatt Barner, half Indian and half Negro, thirty-six years of age, arrived here yesterday with his fiancee, Miss Emma girl of fifteen. They had a marriage license and came from the town of Day in Marathon county. While preparations for the ceremony were being made the bridegroom was arrested on a charge of carrying concealed firearms. He was taken before Judge Hirth and pleaded guilty, paying a fine of 150 dollars. While Barner was in the toils of the law another scene was being enacted in which relatives of the bride-to-be, who were strenuously opposed to the marriage, had spirited the girl to parts unknown, with the result that the wedding feast that was to have taken place in the town of Day last night was called off. National Convention. The date for holding the next National Republican Convention, June 21, at Chicago, is the latest of any convention in the history of that party. It will be the thirteenth National Republican convention, which fact will give the superattention something to the other. National Republican conventions have been held as follows: Philadelphia, June 17, 1865—Nominees, John C. Fremont, of California, and William L. Dayton, of New Jersey. Chicago, May 16, 1860—Nominees, Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, and Hanbal Hamlin, of Maine. Baltimore, June 7, 1864—Nominees, Abraham Lincoln, of Tennessee, and André Lafontaine. Chicago, May 20, 1868—Nominees. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. Ulysses S. Grant, of Illinois, and Schuyler Colfax, of Indiana. Philadelphia, June 5, 1872—Nom- tees, Ulysses S. Grant, of Illinois, and Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts. Cincinnati, June 14, 1876—Nom- tees, K. H. Hayes, of Ohio, and Wiliam, A. Wheeler, of New York. nees, R. B. Hayes, of Ohio, and William A. Wheeler, of New York. James B. Wheeler, of New York. James G. Garfield, of Ohio, and Chester A. Arthur, of New York. Chicago, June 3, 1884—Nominees. James G. Blaine, of Maine, and John A. Logan, of Illinois. Chicago, June 19, 1888—Nominees. Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, and Levi P. Morton, of New York. Chicago, 1892—Nominees. Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, and Whitlaw Reid, of New York. and Wintheau Heid, of New York. St. Louis, June 16, 1866—Nominees, St. Louis, June 16, 1866—Garrett A. Hobart, of New Jersey. Philadelphia, June 19, 1900—Nominees, William McKinley, of Ohio, and Theodore Roosevelt, of New York. Since the Republican party won its first victory, it will be noticed that the first name on its ticket has always been from either Illinois, Indiana, or the honor went to 1834, when the honor went to Maine. New York is yet to be given such a distinction, when Mr. Roosevelt is nominated next June. LOVE GOES WHERE SENT Another Pretty White Girl Elopes with Hen, Efzahir's Coachman **Hire #** Miree Cochman Kalanen Lester, teacher of Miss Haelz Lester, daughter of Herbert Lester, a leading Buffalo stock broker, eloped this morning with Harley Morris, a coachman employed by L. Houghton of this city. A long time past has been visiting Miss Marie Houghton, one of the young society leaders here. Word was received about noon from the couple at Albion, staling the fact. Where Morris and Miss Lester went on a journey and beyond the message sent to the Houghtons nothing is known of their whareabouts. In 1900, it is said, Morris was in the employ of Herbert Lester at Buffalo, having charge of his stables. Lester was sent to the Houghtons his escapade, but no word has as yet been received from him. Miss Lester is handsome, a decided blonde, and had always borne a splendid reputation in the circles in which she moved. At the same time as Miss Lester, at the same time as Miss Lester, and a preconcerted arrangement is thought to have existed. Beyond the fact that Morris at one time was employed by Lester at Buffalo, not only was he almost white, though constantly associating with Afro-Americans. The facts regarding the elopement have been practically suppressed in this city, only a few connected with the family being aware of the affair, that the couple are headed for Canada.

HENRY WARD BECHEER. Henry Ward, Boston, Abbott. $1.75. Boston, and New York. There is an introduction by Whiteleaf R. There is an introduction by Whiteleaf R. and which gives quite an extended criticism of these two very instructive volumes. Mr. Reid says, "This Political History that comes from having seen many of the events from the inside as they occurred, and that comes from having seen many of the entire range of the subjects and from access to much unpublished Information and Governor Brough, in the records of the period, and in constant personal communication with some of the actors." It will be done, in the history of the movements by which a free people enlarged the movement to leading men that relied upon typical wrongs and the better development of Anglo-Saxon institutions;—to Horace Chase and Seward, Stanton and Welles, first among legislators and cabinet ministers, superior of them all, and certainly the most capable politician of the list, Abra of moral influence for the eradication of slavery, though there were not wanting Baptist and Methodist churches at an Episcopal church especially in Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. "Some years ago one who had been a student of the contest endeavored to show the unfaithfulness of current history in dealing with slavery and thereupon a controversy sprung up in the community. The apostle of Emancipation, Geo. W. Julian, the writer who challenged the "truth of history," briefly established the claims of Owen Lundy and Lundy or Garrison, but strangely overstated the role of Lundy—John W. Jersey about 1720. He was strikingly like that of Lundy—John W. Jersey about 1720. Then follow an account of his early life and career, exceedingly detailed in his sentiments. "When about 26 years of age sought to arouse the consciences of slaveholders and wrote an essay entitled 'Confrontations.' After his death in 1722, his journal, which was published, had a wide circulation, and the work or emancipation. He traveled remonstrating and counseling. What particularly impresses the reader is Mr. Mitchell's ability to show Mr. Mitchell has shown. Mr. Mitchell though a Unionist of the Unionist, and one of the greatest leader which organized labor, still attempts to take up the problem from the point of view of the patriotic citizen. He is a public figure. Mr. Mitchell does not shirk the discussion of the weak points of labor organization, but encourages violence in strikes. There are a number of chapters taking up the conditions of the workman, for benefiting the conditions of the workman. Mr. Mitchell takes up in detail the question of strikes that may be prevented, or at least minimized. This volume, while designed especially as a text-book for Commercial High Schools, is equally suited for the general reader. It is a brief, practical treatise on the subjects of banking and Usages of Banking, and the Principles of Finance. The author describes these subjects and adds those legal principles which refer to the tolques taken up. This is the first of the three treatises on methods of bank bookkeeping and works on the theory and history of banking. It is the authority on the subject, and presents the essential principles in a clear and concise manner, and alike to those who intend to devote themselves to the business of banking, to those who are as truly engaged, and to those who have studied the history and theories of banking.

Edward Robinson, a quiet and respectable appearing man, came before Judge Orr Thursday to secure a divorce from his wife, Estella O. Robinson, on the ground of discontent with age and the defendant 30. The marriage took place Aug. 18, 1898, and very soon thereafter the defendant developed a restless spirit. So far as appeared on the trial she had no cause for discontent, save a complaint of abuse in a livelier fashion than was afforded her as the wife of the plaintiff. Married in August, she found September intermingly long and tedious, and by the time October was well spent she could live and the world. Acting upon the suggestions of her emotions, always unsafe guides and guards, she carried her suit-case neatly and went her way. The court granted Mr. Robinson the divorce. Robinson is a waiter at the Minnesota PROGRAM. Of the Men's Sunday Club at Pilgrim Baptist Church for the Month of January.

One of the most striking and magnificent scenes ever presented on any stage is said to be the great wedding scene in "The Fatal Wedding" which appears at the Grand Opera House next week. In order to add to the effectiveness of this scene, Sullivan, Harris & Woods, under whose management "The Fatal Wedding" serves as the centerpiece of the well known organist, Miss Gertrude Haynes. Miss Haynes has a worldwide reputation as a church organist and has attracted a great deal of attention with her "Choir Celestial." This consists of a choir of twenty five headed by the boy solost, Master James Byrnes. Master James Byrnes, the regulation surplice and cassock, and as Miss Haynes plays upon a large organ, which is especially carried for the production, the boys march in upon a magnificent church setting, singing an appropriate selection, such as "The Palms" or "The Holy City."

A large crowd attended the social at the residence of Mrs. Wm. Grey given by the Ladies' Guild of St. Thomas' Mission. There were plenty of good foods to eat, and these presidents threw and paid their money for the privilege. On January 4th, at the home of Mr. W. C. Jeffrey, was organized a society which promises to make history for the citizens of this city. As outlined in its constitution, its objects are: To properly observe national and parental recognition and entertainment of men of prominence; to assist in obtaining positions for and encouraging and maintaining enterprises of the Afro-Americans; and to meet for the discussion of matters pertaining to their welfare.

Traveler's Appearance Indicated He Had Traveled Roof Asked For. Had the Harlem Road asked for, An enterprising Georgian had bought an automobile, became stricken with the touring fever, and as a result had lost his way in a Georgian wilderness. A signboard nailed to a tree attracted his attention. It had been posted where some plious folk had been holding a camp meeting and read: "You Are on the Way to Hell." He went slowly on, and meeting a farmer driving an ox team, he said to him, after the patient animals had become duly reconciled to the new conveyance: "I understand I'm on the road to hell. How far is it from here?" The farmer eyed him for a few seconds, and noting his mud-splashed clothing, goggles, cap and baggage appearance, drawn out: "You orter know more about it than I do. You look like you'd just broke loose from thar!"—Automobile Magazine. EGGS THAT HAVE A VALUE. Those Laid by Lapwings Fetch High Price in England. Few people realize that there are other eggs besides those of 'hens which have enormous commercial value. In England so-called "plovers" eggs," which are really those of lappings, are sent to the city markets from the rural districts by hundreds of thousands. They are esteemed a great delicacy and fetch a very high price, the use of them being for that reason confined almost exclusively to the aristocracy and other luxurious persons. Being only about the size of pigeon's eggs, a good many of them are required to make a dish. Men make a business of gathering them from the nests in marshes and wet fields. Laus Infantium. In praise of little children I will say God first made man, then found a bet- way. For woman, but His third way was the best. Of all created things, the loveliest And most divine are children. Nothing Can be to us more gracious or more to us. And though, when God saw all his works were good, There was no rosy flower of babyhood, Twas said of children in a latter day. That could enter heaven but such as they. The earth, which feels the flowering of a thorn, Was glad, O little child, when you were grown. The earth, which thrills when skylarks scale the blue. Soon itself to God's own heaven in you; And heaven, which loves to lean down Its beauty in each dewdrop on the grass- Heaven laughed to find your face so pure and fair. And left, O little child, its relic there. —William Canton. Day of the Muscular Man. Day of the muscular man. It would perhaps be extravagant to say that there never was a time since the days of King Arthur's round table when physical strength and health were so highly regarded as now. But nevertheless it is a fact not successfully to be denied that physical culture during recent years has been given more than ordinary attention, and many men who are healthful and strong have been remarkably successful in the various vocations of active life. The days of the fop, the dude, the lackadalisal dandy are past. The popular society man nowadays must be a huntsman, a golfer, a horseman or famed for some particular athletic quality—Kansas City Journal. Badger Regained Freedom The sportsman naturalist, St. John, one day found a badger in a trap, not much injured. Tying a rope to ish leg, he drove the animal home—strange to say, the captive beast jogged steadily along in front of him and giving little more trouble than a pig going to market. On reaching home the animal was put for the night into a paved court, where it seemed perfectly secure. "Next morning," says St. John, "he was gone, having displaced a stone that I thought him quite incapable of moving and then, digging under the wall he got away." "Light Lunch and Music." A country girl in Dublin went into a restaurant for her lunch. She was asked if she would have a meat dinner or "light lunch and music." Being curious she chose the light lunch and music and was immediately shown into a room where other inquisitive persons were eating soup and listening to a spirited if not satisfying performance upon the jewsharp by one of the waiters. She felt at the end of the meal that she had paid high enough for curiosity, but she could make no complaint. MONTE CARLO HAS BLACKLIST. Many People Barred From Palatial Gaming Establishment. It is usually imagined that anyone may enter the gambling saloons at Monte Carlo and try his or her luck at the tables where roulette, trenteet-qura-rante and baccarat are played. But the prince of Monaco has made a rule that no resident in his "dominion" is to be allowed admission, and the privilege is consequently denied his "people." The casino authorities decline admission on their own account to any person who on a previous occasion may have lost all his money at the tables and may have had to ask for financial assistance from them to procure a railway ticket for home. To secure this money one goes to the office of the administration—which is at the top of a steep staircase—and after signing sundry documents the victim has to sit to a photographer. This photograph is preserved for future reference, and the man who is on this "blacklist" has very little chance of renewing acquaintance with the glided saloons until he has repaid the debt.

"The material out of which the best quality of cigar boxes are made comes principally from Cuba, and is known as Spanish cedar. A peculiarity about this wood is that it always retains the flavor of a good cigar. Indeed, some people claim that it improves the flavor, and the reason given for this contention is that it grows in the same localities as the finest Havana tobacco." The Voice of Experience. "Not for me?" said the sharper when the guileless countryman was pointed out to him; "never again for me. The man with the carpetbag liks like a mark, but the last one I tackled sold me a coupon ticket for seventeen gallons of mineral water from a spring on his place and never took my gold brick. When you get down to facts you can land a city man who thinks he knows it a good deal easier than you can the country man who knows he doesn't." June and December.

Thou art the same thee, As when you held thee, Forthoose, forsoxse, is but a name; And all the graces that impelled thee That youth bather excelled thee In perfectness of beauty. —Louise Morgan Sill in Harper's Weekly. AMERICAN OYSTERS THE BEST. United States Leads Easily in the Matter of Sea Foods. In the part of Australia in which I live we get oysters as big as a saucer," said Mr. Thomas Lewis of Adelaide, to the Washington Post. "They are twice the size of any I have seen in the United States, but in quality there is nothing to recommend them, for they have no flavor, and are so tough that it takes a pretty sharp knife to make any impression on them. Still, there are people who manage to eat them after they have been stewed sufficiently long. In other parts of our country we have a better grade, approaching nearly to your American oyster, but hardly its equal. In fact, after my acquaintance with the Chesapeake bay products, I am firmly of the opinion that in the matter of sea food the United States leads all nations, an assertion that will be backed up by any man of wide travel." Last of Idealistic Coteries Rev. John S. Brown, who has just died in Lawrence, Kan., at the age of 97, was probably the last member of the idealistic coterie which many years ago established the famous colony known as Brook Farm. From an intellectual standpoint that socialistic experiment was on a higher plane than any other known to history. Among the noted persons connected with it were Nathaniel Hawthorne, Charles A. Dana, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Bronson Alcott, Horace Greeley, George William Curtis, Russell Lowell, John Greenleaf Whittier, Wentworth Higginson and many others. Not all of them lived at the farm, but they helped it with either pen, purse or visit. About Women. A woman who marries a second time runs two risks; she may regret that she lost her first husband or that she did not always have the second one. But, in the first case, her second husband may regret her first husband even more than she does, and tell her so, too. The woman who looks amiable and cheerful is naturally beautiful, far more so than a woman with irreproachable sculptural outlines and features so regular that she makes you wish she had some redeeming defect or other. Perfection was attractive in ancient Greece; it is not now. Philadelphia Ledger. Scholastic Rabbits. A company of scholars going together to catch rabbits had one scholar with them who had not much more wit than he was born with and him they cautioned to be silent if he saw any rabbits for fear of scaring them. But he saw a company of rabbits before the rest and cried in Latin: "Bebold, many rabbits!" He had no sooner said this than the rabbits ran to their burrows. Behind by his companions for it, he answered: "Who the devil would have thought that the rabbits understood Latin?" The "NEW BREW" is a Bottle Beer that's new to you but four months old to us.
