SERIOUS CHARGE MADE AGAINST THE ROBIN. New Jersey Fruit Grower Alleges That Depredations Committed by the Birds in His State Involved Loss of $10,000,000. The amazing statement is made on what seems to be the best authority that the fruit protecting robins enabled those birds to destroy $10,000,000 worth of fruit in New Jersey during the last season. This is the plaint of Henry Jeroloman of Hilton, N. J., who is known throughout the United States as "king of strawberry growers." In urging a repeal of the state law protecting robins from slaughter Mr. Jeroloman says: "I have been a fruit grower for more than thirty years, only in a small way, having about eight acres of strawberry berries. Each season for more than twenty-five years I netted between $3,000 and $4,000 from the four acres of strawberries. "For the past ten years, or since the law was passed protecting the robin, I have received little more than one half of that amount. This season (1903), although I had the same amount of land in strawberries, I did not receive over $1,800, although I had one of the best crops for the past fifteen years. Fully one-third or more of my finest and largest fruit was picked by this bird. "I have watched a single robin at work; he would run along a row, picking at the largest fruit only, and in less than two minutes I have known a single bird to destroy two quarts of my largest fruit. "They never stop to eat a singleberry, only hop along a row, making a hole in each large crab that has commenced to turn and on one side, thus destroying the fruit for market, and this season, a very low estimate, was fully $500 on strawberries alone, and caused by the robins. This is not the only fruit the robins destroy. Their destruction of early cherries and red raspberries was complete this season. "As soon as the first cherries showed a red side the robins went at them. From ten to twenty birds could be seen from daylight until dark all the time in each tree, and in less than three days they did not leave me a single quart of good fruit; it could find would be the stem, pit and the green side of each cherry still hanging on the tree. "I had about three acres of grapes this season. I employ a force of girls to cover each bunch of grapes from June 16 to July 5, to protect the bunches from mildew, rot and birds, putting on about 80,000 bags, but the robins soon found out that there was something good in those bags, and during fogs and dawn mornings, when the paper bags would tear easily, the robins would pick them up and pick each bunch before they were ripe enough for market, not leaving me, une fine bunches for the fairs. "The records kept by the state will show that there are over 10,000 farms engaged in horticulture and fruit growing, nearly all much larger growers than myself. Now, taking my loss this year of strawberries alone ($500, which is a very low estimate), and putting each grower on a par with myself, $500 loss by each of the 10,000 growers will make the total loss $5,000,000."—New York World. Poor Pen's Sarcasm. Penhecker was, in vulgar parlance, "catching it hot" from his better half, for he had stayed an hour later than usual at his club—an unpardonable offense in Mrs. P.'s eyes. That energetic lady, having vituperated her spouse in the hall as he took off his great coat, at last stopped for breath. It was then that poor Pen tried the effect of sarcasm. "Do you know the difference, my dear," he said, coolly, "between your mouth and that street door?" Difference between "No," said Mrs. P. of her guard. "Well, if you can't tell the difference, you might shut one or other of 'em, and let the neighbors find out which is which." Mrs. P. did shut "one of 'em"—but it was not the former.

A current item is to the effect that the profits at Monte Carlo for the year just closing will exceed $7,000,000. The deluded amateur gamblers who paid this money in, in addition to the sum necessary to liquidate the enormous expenses of the establishment, will doubtless attribute this annual accumulation of a fortune to inheritance or luck or something of that sort, and will do their best to make the record higher in the year upon which we are just entering.

A very unusual demonstration was recently given by Prof. Denny to his students at Fifth college, Sheffield. Among the most ancient animals still inhabiting our planet is the so-called mud fish of Africa. This creature is worthy of our respect, if only in consideration of its antiquity, which dates far back in the early ages of the world. The most striking feature of the mud fish is the possession of lungs as well as gills. On the approach of the dry season, in its natural habitat in the Great Indian chamber in the mud and enters upon a rest extending over many months, during which time it is without access to water, and breathes only air. While in the mud these creatures may be dug up and survive even after a journey across the world in this dry state. Prof. Denny received one of these' mud blocks not long ago. In the presence of the students the hard block was placed in warm water and after being thus exposed for nearly two hours the fish, that went to sleep in tropical Africa many months before, awoke and swam through the mud to find itself in a bath of tap-water in the biological laboratory of Firth College—New York Herald. THE JUDGE WHO CARED. New York Justice Whose Career Has Been One of Honor. By the retirement of Justice Mayer, who yesterday presided for the last time at the children's court, the city loses a useful public servant. Fitting testimony to this loss was rendered in court by the representatives of charitable societies. But the best word was spoken by Meyer Cohen, a "probation boy," when he said, a little hoarsely: "I was one of the first boys to come under you. You've been the best friend I ever had. You seemed to care whether I was square or not, 'an I wish that you wasn't going away from here.' Perhaps Justice Mayer was a trifle hoarse also—the weather has been so treacherous—when he replied that he would always take an interest in his young friend, and that "there are lots of you here in New York who don't have half a chance." It is because "half a chance" is more than some poor boys get, and because if they were put, with hardened criminals for slight offenses they might hereafter have no chance at all, that the children's court was on the bench, always on the bench who "cares!"—New York World. A Very Old Dinner. An antiquary in the city of Brus sels named Goebel gave perhaps the oldest dinner which has ever been eaten. A description was given by one of the guests, Mr. Amaziah Dukes. He says: "At the dinner I ate apples that ripened more than eighteen hundred years ago; bread made from wheat grown before the children of Israel passed through the Red sea, spread with butter which was made when Elizabeth was Queen of England; and I washed down the repas with wine which was old when Column bus was playing barefoot with the boys in Genoa. "The apples were from an earthen jar taken from the ruins of Pompeii. The wheat was taken from a chamber in one of the Pyramids, the butter from a stone shelf in an old well in Scotland, where for several centuries it had lain in an earthen crock in ice water, and the wine was recovered from an old vault in the city of Corinth. There were six guests at the table, and each had a mouthful of bread and a teaspoonful of wine, but was permitted to help himself bountily to the butter, there being several pounds of it. The apple jar held about two-thirds of a gallon. The fruit was sweet and as finely flavored as if it had been picked but yesterday." He Goes Before You. He goes before you. O my heart, He knows the strength each task he knows the strength each task He knows the grace each trial needs. He's just a little farther on the way. His bleeding footprints may trace, He goes before you all the day. He goes before you, O my heart! He knows the deepest depth, o'er highest height: He knows where lurks the ambushed foo, He sees the pitfalls he will meet. He sees the pitfalls he will meet. The plains where you fall or faint, The hills where you paint, the pain, He goes before; He knows it all. He goes before you, O my heart! He does not bear the fear, He has not borne, A single grief he does not share; Through storm or calm or tempest And you see him, as he said, For He shall lead you home at last. He goes before you, O my heart! Still follow on through gain or loss, Despite the shame, endure the cross, The path your fall'ring steps must take Through garden, mount and riven tob He goes before you up to God.

THE GREAT VIRGINIAN The eighteenth century history of our country groups itself about one central figure. We never escape from the presence of the great Virginian, and yet it was a time rich in human product. It is not easy to comprehend the causes which produced this amazing fruitage of ability. Among the men who caused and carried the Revolution were many who in brilliant qualities far surpassed George Washington. Seen through the mist of years, they rise in our imagination and seem grouped about the great Virginian church at Innsbruck the bronze status of friends and allies surround the tomb where the great Kalser, Maximilian, kneels in prayer. Among these makers of an empire were great orators, and Washington was none; grave jurists, and he had little learning. There, too, were statesmen of more original intellect than was ever his. Generals there were who had been better had he been free to choose. But, by the grace of God, and some strange skill of nature, this imperial man made them, and used them, as he used himself, with but one ambition—how best to serve the land he loved. What was there in the man which still makes him stand for us a larger human figure than Hamilton, or John Adams, or Jefferson. In some ways the difference seems clear. His unisness was without a flaw. His sense of duty was like a religion. He had in perfection both moral and physical courage; he who is without fear is rarely without hope, and it may have been this which gave him the courage he seemed to have the force of inspiration, the self-sustaining power of prophetic insight. No doubt other men also possessed these characteristics, but none had them in so high a degree. This does help us to comprehend him, but does not adequately describe a great historic personage who has become for us to-day no more than a spicadil lay figure. And yet we know of him all that we need to know; almost to much, indeed, when the inquisitive spirit of the republicans which are common to many men and do not help us to understand the one man. His slow, sure mind, his heroic patience, his strong passions, his splendid physical manhood, nowhere, on any page, express themselves in terms of life. Is this because the lives of the greatest always leave something of the causes of greatness unrevealed? It may be so. Or is this stately figure who will give us such a life, a rapher who will give us such a like presentation as Carlyle has left of Frederick and of Cromwell? It would seem to be easy, for what life reports itself more simply! What more interest in and incident! What personality was ever more clearly built up by efforts which raise, stone on stone, the masony of character! Its value to the thoughtful life less in the attained serenity of the statueque Washington, present to the common mind, than in a correct apprehension of the greatness of Vilhelm boy grew into the matriarch of the official years of our first president. There rises before me, as I write, the figure of the half educated, over-serious, country bred. Forced to Defective Page depend on his own exertions, he learns to survey land and accepts daily wages—a thing not fancied by the Virginia gentleman of that day. We see him at the camp fires the trader and the Indian, and in the stillness of the Ohio forests, plotting surveys and measuring trees. At nineteen he is sent as envoy to the aggressive French on the frontier; next, as a militia major, he strikes the first blow in the Seven Years' War, telling it what and what to teach. At the age of twenty-three he comes out of the defeat with Braddock, one of the few who won praise and honor. The long border struggle which followed is a record of exasperating struggles with ignorant governors, inefficient legislators, drunken militia and untrained officers. We come next to the fox hunting squire, the accomplished farmer, a master of slaves, still longing for war—the profession of arms. Did he dream that he should see too much of it, and would some day write that he hoped for a great republic of mankind, where the growth of commerce would become the most certain peacemaker and all that he be at an end. He was at Cambridge. Last of all, he is twice President. Then come two happy years at Mount Vernon, and on a December night the tired man finds in death that which earth denied—the peace which is past understanding. My purpose to day is to speak to you of Washington as I find him in his written words, where most he seems to be alive. I want you to share with what I got out of months of patient study of Mr. Ford's collection of his letters. These are in fourteen volumes—light thousand pages in all. He was the most productive of the American writers. There are two thousand documents from his own hand. Mr. Ford tells me that, in all, this untiring man has left us about ten thousand letters. None are mere notes, and the letter of that day was no trifle. The handwriting demands a word of comment. How clear it is! How steadily the same, with never a sign or haste! I have seen the letter he wrote to announce Arnold's treasor. It betrays no sign of the emotion that awful hour must have caused a hour which influenced him with the salient points of the great, wrung from this tranquil soldier, "Who is there now I can trust?" Like most great rulers, George Washington was a silent man. To be called upon for public speech embarassed him. He was shy, reserved, undemonstrative, and De Lauzun says, diffident. John Adams said, "Half his reputation was due to his talent for silence." Well had it been for his critic had he had that virtue for both tongue and pen. This reserved gentleman confessed himself readily to paper. He who in talk and diaries said nothing was a news, or letters, or poems, seemed to himself in his letters given us freely to know what he thought he was, morally and mentally. It is an autobiography quite innocently revealed. "With all his love of ceremony and his personal dignity—a man with whom no one took liberties—is in teresting to see, as we have already seen, how humble and how simply he writes of his defects. He says, "I have no genius for war." He finds it hard to learn this business—warfare—and at the same time to practice it. He excuses Sullivan's defeat. "All of us," he says, "want experience in moving men upon a large scale; our knowledge of military matters is limited." As a critic of war he was the first to insist again and again that the command of the sea was all-important. What the British fleet will do puzzles us, and the French navies on land. He predicts Burgoyne's disaster, and tells Greene that such defeats as his are victories. We have been told that he was no great general. If, with halfed, ill-clad men, with constant lack of arms and powder, and at last with inertia everywhere and a country in ruins; if, with such means he baffled a foe rich in men, money and sea power; if with little he accomplished all he set out to do, there must at least be a label for this form of greatness. Turning from his fiery courage and reckless exposure in war, there are in these letters many evidences of tenderness and humanity. They are shown early in life, when he says that he would readily die in torture to save the frontier people from Indian cruelty. They appear in his extreme willingness to make epileptic inmate men. He steadily refused, as he says, "to avenge cruelty by cruelty." He reproaches a general for such conduct, and pleads mercy for the Tories while Sir Henry Clinton is carrying on a savage warfare of murder and rapine. This man had no children. He was the ancestor of a nation. Let no repetition of his praise lose for you the true value of the man. He left to us the heirs of his renown, a record of unmercifulrage, of heroic endurance an example of lifelong —the unequalled life of an unequalled day.—From an address by Dr. S. Weir Mitchell. The Character of Washington. Notwithstanding his reserve, or the "shyness" upon which his biographers descent, Washington knew men and how to rule them. He may have lacked elements of companionship, but he knew how to control the undisciplined patriotism of the country and mold to his will the rather unpromising material of which the patriot army was composed. There were petty lesiousities to allay in the army and the arguments to surmount. Through it all he followed calmly his guiding star of hope. The earlier eulogists defied him; the colder and more philosophical analysts who succeeded them found human traits in him. Mr. Hale says he was a man of hot passions, of strong impulses, of vigorous determination; "a man who forecast the future, kept it in sight, and meant to have his own way; and he was a man who had his own way very remarkably. This is very delightful to know, it brings Washington into kiship with humanity.

THEY ALL WANTED SARDINES When First Boxes of This Delicacy Prepared Marriage Court cacher morocco court. If the sultan Abdel-Aziz, loses his throne, it perhaps might be due to the discontent of his subjects seeing him adopt so precipitately European manners and habits. The sultan disregards this danger, however, and when he wants a thing European he must have it at once. One night there was a great noise in front of the residence of an Englishman inhabiting Morocco. Immediately the soldiers of the palace struck the door violently, exclaiming: "Daba! Daba! (quick! quick!). The master wants all the sardines you have in your house!" "The Englishman was not a sardine merchant, but handed over what few boxes he had, and learned later that the foreigner had presented to the sultan a few boxes of sardines, which were opened in the harem and partaken of by all the inmates. Such a sudden frenzy was created for them that on the morrow a special raskitas was dispatched to Tangier, where it was a popular dinein in the place—New York Tribune. Took Bledge Over His Do John Popowiak of Akron took the pledge over the body of his dog, as he was released from the central station, where he had been confined over Sunday for intoxication, says a Cleveland (Ohio) dispatch to the Philadelphi Telegraph. When Popowiak was arrested the dog followed him to the police station remaining outside the door and howling for its master during Sunday. It lay down on the snow Sunday night and was frozen to death. When Popowiak was released yesterday morning he thought the dog would be waiting for him. He went down to the door, but the dog did not come. Then he found the frozen body. "It was all my fault," he exclaimed "It was the drink that did it. Poor little Sport! As long as I live I will never touch another drop." Floating Theater. A new river vessel has been built for use as a floating theater. The seating capacity is for 1,000 people, and there are boxes for the elite and a pit for the orchestra. In addition, the vessel is sufficiently large to admit of numerous sleeping rooms for the actors, the deckhands and all those connected with either the show or the theater. On the steamer which tows the floating theater, besides the boilers and engines, there is a complete electric light plant, beside a kitchen and dining room. The boat starts at Pittsburg and visits the towns of the coal miners and steel workers along the Monongahela river. Next it returns and goes down the Ohio to the Kanawah, thence to Calfo and later up the Mississippi, going back to the Mississippi, the boat slowly makes its way in the direction of New Orleans. Bare Albino Deer. An albino deer, with a coat as white as snow and eyes a delicate pink, was killed in the Canyon mountains or southern Oregon recently. It was one of the very few albino deer ever seen in the mountains of the west. Old hunters tell of seeing them, usually separate from the main herd, at various times during the early days; but they were too shy to be approached near enough for a shot. The deer killed in the Canyon mountains was with four other deer at the time it was found, and had not this been true the hunters would not have taken it for a deer. Its white coat made it far more conspicuous than the remainder of the herd and it is perhaps for this reason that albino deer are shunned by their mates. Thanksgiving Song.

FORTUNE IN DESERT RICH FIND MADE BY A LONE PROSPECTOR. George Simmons' Discovery of Long Abandoned Mine Made Him the "Turquolise King"—Assassinated by Discharged Foreman. The turquolise king is dead. A career of thrilling adventures and hair breadth escapes, a life in which the smile of fortune came at the most unexpected times and places, has been ended, like the lives of so many others bearing royal titles, by an assassin's bullet. George Simmons, the turquolise king was a frequent visitor in Denver during the later years of his life. Mr. Simmons was murdered on October 15 at Manvel, Cal., an isolated mining town near the Nevadine line. While getting into a wagon to drive home he was shot and instantly killed by W. H. Miller, a foreman whom he had discharged a year or so ago. The discovery of his mine was an example of his keen scent for the unusual. Riding through the Crescent mountains in the Mojave desert one day, he noticed at a little distance a slight elevation or mound, which although perhaps undisturbed for centuries, had apparently been excavated by examination of the heterogeneous materials composing the mound convinced him of its artificial character, and as it was too large for an ordinary grave, he determined to investigate further. Digging down into the center of the mound, he came upon a stone and later complete sets of the rude stone tools used in mining by uncivilized persons. Consequently, he discovered the workings of an ancient mine and the deposits of turquoise which afterward brought him wealth. For years he kept the location of the mine a secret, working it in a desultory manner. The property was not patented, and lest some wandering prospectors should run upon it by accident he built a stockade around it and kept a man with a Winchester on guard night and day. People who tried to learn the location of the desert found that it was a dangerous business. For instance, there was Jim McClurg, one of the first men whose acquaintance Simmons made in Denver. Unknown to Simmons, McClurg boarded the same train with the owner of the mine and followed him to Nevada. Simmons quick eye, however, caught a glimpse of McClurg as the latter got down from the rear end of the train at their destination, and soon learned that a bullet would stop him if he attempted to follow Simmons to the mine. On Simmons' first visits to Denver he used to bring with him a large travel eling grip filled with splendid turquoises. The stones were pale blue in color, while those from the old mines in New Mexico were dark blue, and at first it was hard to find buyers for the product of Simmons' mine. Now the light blue stones are the favorite and find a ready sale. Failing to get enough money from the sale of the turquoises to patent the property and develop it, Simmons went to London to secure capital. He put a valuation of $700,000 on his mine and floated it on that basis, although it was really worth three times that amount. When he returned to New York, Simmons put up at the Waldorf Astoria. The collection of turquoises he had with him were the talk of the hotel. Some one got him to show them to a party of ladies, including the wife of the manager, Boldt. The latter asked him to put a price on a particularly fine stone weighing 23 karats. Simmons said $1,000, not for a moment expecting to make a sale, but Mrs. Bolt turned to her husband and had him write out a check for that amount. One of the stones in the collection was the largest in the world, weighing 164 carats. An agent of a New York dealer followed him, offering him $5,000. It was Simmons' ambition to get a 200-carat stone and finally succeed—Denver Times. Immense Herds of Camels. Camels in Somaliand are kept in great herds sometimes numbering 30,000. Such numbers involve wide areas for grazing and consequent distances from the few places where water may be found. The ponies used by the Somali can also manage without drink for three or four days and when employed for herding have like their only camels' milk to quench their thirst. These big herds offer, of course, a tremendous temptation to the raider, as many as 10,000 camels being taken at a time; and the excitement of driving off such a haul at full gallop for forty or fifty miles, with the exasperated owner possibly hard in pursuit and the chance that a camper has fallen a prey to some other tribal diversion, appeals irresistibly to the excitable Somali. Drunken Man Had Wit. A drunken man who sought to buy a ticket at a theater box office was denied the privilege. "What's the matter?" demanded the applicant; "what's the matter with me?" "Well, if you really want to know," responded the keeper of the box office, "you're drunk." The frankness of this reply had rather a sobering influence upon the playgoer. He gathered up his money with dignity. With drunk, he said cheerfully, as he turned to go: "I wouldn't come to see this play if I were sober, would AVE YOU READ THE APPEAL?

He will be needed to make the fight and the Afro-Americans of Illinois ought to furnish it. The Appell will give $10 to start the flow how much will you give, `kind reader?` DOLLIVER DEFENDS RACE. At the Lincoln banquet at Grand Rapids, John S. Wise, who has been retained by some Virginia Afro-Americans to fight the disfranchisement cases, made a bitter attack on the race, in which he advocated taking away the suffrage from the Afro-Americans. Senator Dolliver of Iowa was the next speaker and for more than an hour he replied to Wise, urging the brotherhood of man. Of course Wise was angry and in his hot Southern way he seemed anxious to start a row, but was finally cared for. Senator Dolliver has won a warm place in the hearts of millions of Afro-Americans by his defense of a much abused race. The "Lily White" Republicans (?) of Louisiana met in state convention on last Wednesday and nominated a full state ticket. There were no Afro-American delegates, although the AF convention compared with them. Their platform asserts the supremacy of the Caucasian race. A very unnecessary and equally un-Republican assertion. However, the convention heartily indorsed the administration of President Robbins, and with his reorganization and election the convention pledged its support, and as we are very much interested in and desire that happy consummation we are willing to accept any help which they can give in that direction. The war-between Russia and Japan is on in earnest and the outcome we have no very particular interest in the war at a glance that Russia is the more powerful, but then one "can't always sometimes tell." Japan is young and plucky and will give Russia a chance to prove her prowess. We have no very particular interest in the war at a glance that Russia is the stuffing licked out of her we would shed no tears of regret. "Gov. Vardman, the full-blooded Caucasian ruler of the State of Mississippi, admits that there are some well-behaved and instructed colored people in his neck of woods. This is a hopeful sign. We had thought Vardman man was going to rebuke who All mighty for His had taste in creating people of many colors." The Japanese in the United States will raise a fund of $5,000,000 to aid their country in the war between Russia and Japan. The Afro-Americans in this country have more wealth than the Japanese, who live here and with a $5,000,000 fund they could settle the race problem. Can it be raised? In the death of the late Senator Marcus A. Hanna this country loses another of its greatest men, one who has stamped his individuality upon it. He was a wonderful man in many respects, and his place will be hard to A bill has been introduced in the Kentucky legislature appropriating $10,000 for the purchase of the old Lincoln homestead, the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln, and for converting it into a public park. Twelve Japanese in Orange, N. J., raised a fund of $1,000 for their country in one night. Why can it not 10,000-000 Afro-Americans raise a large fund to defend the rights of their race? The "Christianity" of the Russian is so much like the brand used by Southern Caucasians that the sympathy of the Afro-Americans is with the Japanese in the present war. In Mexico there are few pure Caucasians—nine-tenths of the population having Indian or Negro blood. Says the Mexican Herald. Not satisfied with separate railroad cars, separate waiting rooms at stations, some of the whites of Virginia are clamoring for separate wharves. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. He asserted that reciprocity with Canada, Panama, and the Isthmian canal are the only things that can be used by the Democrats as issues—money, the trusts, imperialism, and terrorism. He was out of the realm of discussion. WASHINGTON THE CITY OF MAGNIFICENT DISTANCES. A Collection of a Few of the Events Occurring Among the Afro-Americans of the Capital of This Great and Glorious Nation for Our Many Readers. Washington, D. C., Feb. 18.—The S. Coleridge Taylor society, whose splendid rendition of that Afro-American composer's beautiful work, THE HISTORY of its still presence in the mind of all who heard it last spring, will repeat it on April 12th in the Metropolitan church, where they gave it before. The chorus has been increased by the addition of forty new voices, making the total membership practically two thousand. The presentation of the work in Baltimore last fall. The society has been working all this season on the newer oratorio of Coleridge Taylor, "The Atomenet," which is said to be even greater than "Hiawatha." It is said to be the most important of the Saviour, and has been received in England as well as "Hiawatha." Mr. Chas, Alexander, who until recently has been instructor in the art of printing at Wilberforce University, was in the city a few days, en route to Philadelphia, where he will again enter the field of journalism. While here, Mr. Alexander was tendered a "stag" by Mr. Edward G. Nalle. Miss Eden Gray of Minnesota was recently appointed to the position of stenographer and typewriter in the U. S. patent office. Mr. Frank Byron spent a few days in Grand Rapids, Michigan, this week. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Williams of Capitol Hall, entertained Thursday evening, a party of friends. Mr. Fred McCracken has returned from a trip to New York, Philadelphia and other eastern cities. One of the prettiest fancy dress or masquerade balls of the season was given by the younger set of society girls at True Former's from 8:30 to 12 o'clock. The party was chaperoned by Miss Louise Smallwood. Among the beautiful costumes were those of Miss Estelle Kennedy and Rosa Carter, representing socialite Parker and Gertie Brooks, fencing girls; Miss Rosa Childs, Spanish dancing girl; Miss Euretta Matthews, queen of hearts; Miss Lizzie Yates and Gurtas Smallwood, butterfly girls and Miss Grace Green, Columbia. The young men represented princes, Indians, farmers, tramps, clowns and many other characters in harmony with the occasion. Mr. Wm. Hawkins of Milwaukee has been indisposed for several days. The birthday of Frederick Douglass, Feb. 12th, known as Douglass Day, was celebrated at Jones and Slater schools with fitting exercises. Some of the features at Jones school include a recitation by Alma Thomas and a sketch of his life by the Sixth grade. Rev. L. F. Shea delivered an eloquent address on the life of Douglass. The Acadian Mandolin, Guitar and Banjo club appeared before a musical and critical audience at True Reformer's hall last Tuesday evening. This organization has been in existence for the past seven years and whenever they have appeared have won the banjo from both press and public. Their rendition of beautiful classics, descriptive selections and late songs and marches was greatly appreciated by the large and enthusiastic audience. Last week was the time set by the democratic legislature of Maryland to consider the bill for the outrageous disfranchisement of the Afro-American citizens of the state, but the great Baltimore mayor gave the lawmaker a suggestion to think about for the time being. Speaking of the Baltimore fire brings to mind the rumor that the Afro-American fire fighters from Philadelphia and other points, who were sent to the assistance of Baltimore, were stationed because of the objection of the Baltimore firemen, who did not care to work with Afro-Americans. It has been suggested that thousands of dollars worth of property could have been saved had more time been spent in fire fighting and less to the discussion of race prejudices. Of the 86,720 Afro-American residents of the District of Columbia, 36-340 or forty-two per cent were born here, while 50,362 or fifty-eight per cent are persons who have migrated to the United States and territory contributing with the exception of Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Alas JOHN H.

Of the 17,269 homes owned and free, 640 are encumbered and the rest are hired. To this total can be added 18 farm homes, six of which are own- ed free. Three are encumbered and nine hired or rented. There are 26,040 schools, 16,000 of school age and 18,677 males of milia age, 18 to 44 years, inclusive. The memorial exercises in honor of Col. W. A. Pledger of Georgia, held Sunday afternoon, were attended by a hundred of the students of Lient. R. E. Toomey, president of the Second Baptist Lyceum, under the auspices of which it was held, pres- ided, and the principal eulogy was delivered to Prof. M. Hershaw, M. E. Hershaw, also paid by Hon. Judson W. Lyons and Prof. T. M. Dent of Georgia. Ex-Sen- ator John P. Green of Ohio; Hon. John C. Dancy of North Carolina; Ex-Gov. P. N. Sunchack of Louisiana and Judge Robt. H. Terrell of District of Columbia. Letters of regret were read from many prominent persons who could not be in attendance, the most note worthy of which being one from President Theodore Roosevelt. Resolutions in honor of Col. Pledger's memory were read by Rev. Mrs. Moore of Georgia, and unanimously adopted. TUSKEGEE CONFERENCE Thirteenth Annual Tuskegee Conference Guard Success Tuskegee Air Force AFB, Feb. 17—Dr. Booker T. Washington today came to order the thirteenth annual Tuskegee conference in the chapel of the institute before more than 2,000 African farmers from Southern states. There were in attendance during the thirteenth work period. After a session of several hours, resolutions were adopted embodying the sentiment of the conference. These resolutions declare the faith of the conference in the efforts to secure homes and land for the students, keep out of debt, get rid of the log-cabin idea, building churches and schools, lengthening of the school term, building of good public roads, the regular and prompt payment of all taxes and making agricultural life easier, and providing the educational interests a high standard of morality was urged and that teachers and preachers be required to maintain highest standards of living. The resolutions declare that the moral condition of the Afro-American community is that there is no evidence that education increases crime among them. They urge harmony and mutual conference between the races and that the whites put a premium on right conduct and high living among blacks. They argue that blacks are refrain from crime and to join with the whites in the maintenance of law and order. DR. CRUM IS IT. Committee on Commerce Reports Favorably on His Nomination. Washington, Feb. 18.—The senate committee on commerce today author- DR. W. D. CRUM. ized a favorable report on the nomination of William D. Crum to be collector of customs at the court. All the members of the committee were not present, but there was a sufficient number of affirmative votes to insure favorable action should all of the absentees have recorded against the nominee. POLITICAL POINTERS. "Stand pat" vs. Revision is the question in Iowa. in town. * **C** At the Saratoga County * **P** convention, Balliston, N. Y., delegates favoring the nomination of President Roosevelt were elected. Senator Cullom of Illinois has de- lared emphatically for Fairbanks. The Republican leader, has just done the same thing: Illinois will probably vote in the convention in accordance with the convention in accordance with the views expressed by Mr. Lorimer and his friends. Lorimer's views are of weight in the Administration circles, as well as in Illinois. As for Mr. Culom, he is sure that the ticket will be Roosevelt and Fairbanks, and make that prediction with great freedom. The most interesting political proposition in Wisconsin just now is the fight in the third congressional district, where Congressman J. W. Babcock, chairman of the Republican national committee, is officially standing for a renomination. He is opposed in this ambition by Governor La Folette, with the whole power of the state administration. No such fight has ever been seen in the state. Though nominally a fight on congressional power, it is for that reason is being watched with the keenest interest by politicians. It is admitted that, should the governor win in his attempts to defeat the congressman, the opposition to his renomination would go to pieces like a house of cards. On the other hand, his opponents deserve that victory, and it will put such a kink in the governor's plans as may end in overthrowing him. As the Ohio legislature is now in session, Senator Hannah's successor will not be appointed by the governor, but at once elected for the terms expiring in March, 1905, and March, 1911. Less than seven years ago Mr. Hannah, who had never before held the office, was elected to the senator, and had over seven years yet to serve, having been re-elected last month. In the last week there has been much talk about the succession. Among the names mentioned have been those of Governor Herrick, Charles Hill and George Hox, of Cox, and Senator John W. Cox, General J. Warren Kelfer, of Springfield; General Asa W. Jones, of Youngstown, and Congressman Dick, Grosvenor, Burton, Nevin and Warnock. Senator Hannah lived in northeastern and Senator Foraker lives in southwestern Ohio. It is sale by the governor, and it is likely to add to the chances of Governor Herrick or Congressman Dick, who live in lake districts. Soldiers' Address Wanted. Henry N.

Spiritual Life. We see that we can only do a deed to God by doing that deed for him, only by offering ours as the hands with which it shall be done. Our human love for one another, and all our human love for another, is his for being ours.—W. C. Gannett. Many are saying: "Go to! Let us have a religious revival." But the floods do not come until the springs are full and the streams are everywhere rising. We shall have a revival of religion when we are filled with the spirit of it, and who, overflowing with it, form streams of blessing which inundate the community. Daniel D. Healy says emphatically that he is not a candidate for president, however, he is a board. Personal friends, however, are bringing strong pressure to bear on him. Knowles Building. Boys' Hall.

"PARSIFAL" AT THE LYCEUM. Dick Ferris Says Minneapolis Will Be the Third City in the World Where Play is Presented. "Parsifal," that wonderful musical drama by Richard Wagner, which has set New York wild with enthusiasm, will be the bill at the Lyceum the week of February 28th. The play has not been seen outside of Wagner's Theatre in Bayreuth since 1882 until last month, when a $100,000 production was put on at the Metropolitan Theatre in New York. Mr. Ferris, after a long conference, arranged to present the play in the form of a drama, Minneapolis being the third city in the world where it has ever been seen. It was in 1857 that the poet-composer turned his attention to this subject, but he did not finish the work until some years afterward. Meanwhile the material went through many processes of changes, and the story, as told by Wagner, differs in many of the essential particulars from those of Wolfram and Chrietrein. Wagner composed the first music, that of the Good Friday scene, in 1857. He did not, however, complete the text of his work until 1877. He was in his 65th year when he began to write out the music, and he completed the sketch of the last act in April, 1879. He then began the orchestral score and finished it Jan. 13, 1882. the story, as many of the in those of Jagner com- of the Good he did not, of his work is 65th year in the music, etch of the then began finished it FARWELL, At the Grand Opera House.

Monty the Greene & Heath, fathers and delineators, are at the head of the big organization. They are now in their thirty-first year of professional partnership, and are now even greater favorites than they were half a score of years ago, when it was thought that they had reached the zenith of their popularity. Besides McIntyre and Heath, the company includes the following artists: Elizabeth Murray, singing and talking comedienne; Merlan's troupe of wonderful trained dogs; Victor Moore and Emma Littlefield, presenting a professional absurdity. "Change Your Act or Back to the Woods"; Ed. F. Raynard, incomparable ventriloquist; the Melani trio, native Italian vocalists and instrumentalists and Albertus and comedians, juggling and musical specialty.
