VENERABLE JOKE TALKS OF REINCARATION. Nothing New in the Theory as Far as This Laughter-Inducer Was Concerned—On Earth in Many Disguises and at Many Times. “Metempsychosis?” said the Old Joke, as he defied placed another pill in his pipe. “Why, of course! Old story to me, I assure you. Transmigration of souls an everyday occurrence. And as soon as I die—why, bless you, my boy, I have been back to earth for many centuries, and in as many different forms as those of the animals that Noah not old Noah, from my point of view, believe me—had in his ark. "I tell you, my boy, these Theosophists have got the right idea about it. We die but to live again. We make our little brief appearance on the stage of life and then we vanish, only to return in some new guise—our astral body the same, our terrestrial form the only thing changed about us. And sometimes that is not changed as much as might be wished. I have worn many guises in my day. Heigh, ho! It wearies me to begin to think of them all. There was the time when creature creation laughed. He had sprung me upon his better half, and Eve—well, Eve was a woman of exceeding politeness (as evidence her courtesy to the Serpent), and she did her very best to smile at me, although I am fully convinced she did not see my point at all. "The next time I remember to have come to earth was in the Land of Nod. That was about nine thousand years ago, as nearly as I can recollect. It caused a great sensation among the simple Nodites when I was suddenly sprung upon them as a New Thing. If I recollect aright, I was printed then in the newspapers of the time, and the reporters were kind enough to write 'Laughter' in brackets after me, so as to make sure that the inhabitants would appreciate me at my cachinatory worth. "Life is too short for me to attempt to rehearse my various reincarnations since then. I have appeared in comic opera and tragedy; have graced the minstrel stage, and appeared suddenly in the pulpit as a Racy Bom Mot. I have traveled all over the civilized world as a Newspaper Joke. I have been illustrated and set to music; have helped to make the fortune of several comedians and the reputations of numerous after dinner speakers. And last night—will you believe it—one of the best known and most original— "Hello!" said the Old Joke, sadly, "My pipe has gone out and I have not another pill in the box. I shall die if I cannot get a smoke—I know I shall. But never mind! I shall soon come back again in some new form, and I will accept me as the latest and newest thing in Jokes!"—New York Herald. She Knew Them. "Girls are certainly past all understanding," said the big athletic fellow to his pretty companion. "Here you make all sorts of a fuss over tobacco, while other girls of my acquaintance request me to blow smoke into their hair. Yes, they do; but goodness knows what for. They say they like to have the odor of tobacco clinging in their tresses. I must say I can agree with them. A good fresh cigar is one thing, but the odor of tobacco is another. Sometimes I've thought that maybe the tobacco did something to the hair, gave it life, put a glint of gold into it, made it more luxurious, or something. Otherwise why should they insist that I put a lot of smoke on them?" The pretty girl smiled knowingly, "Did you ever think, she asked, that the odor of stale tobacco about a woman might lead her friends to believe that she had many masculine callers?" The athletic fellow looked at her admiringly. "It takes a woman to understand a woman," he said. What He Wanted. He entered the lawyer's office after the manner of the meek and mild. His eyes were cast to the floor, his mien was bashful. "Are you the lawyer?" he asked of—call him Smith. "I am," said Smith. "I want advice," said the wanderer. "I am in love with a certain young woman. I love her very much, and mean to marry her. She is engaged to me. But I am afraid she thinks more of another man. I went to call on her the other evening, and disturbed her as this other man was kissing her." "That's rather an interesting rate of interest suggested Smith." But what I do I voray? I cannot advise you in any respect regarding this man. Judging by what you tell me, your marriage with this young woman is something that will not happen." "Couldn't I—couldn't you—isn't it possible for me to have an infunction served against this man?" Smith tried to figure it out—New York Times. The Kiss in the Cup. There is no gladness in the glass But taste it first before it pass And I will drink with thee, For it is sweet in the wine. Have breathed upon the brim I swear that I will drain the wine, Although it reach the rim. Oh, who could bear to say the nay, When thou hast kissed the cup? When thou hast filled the wine, When thou filled it up! For, oh, the cup has kept the kiss To show me all the wasted bliss Thy lips have lavished there. THE APPEAL. HOW TO STERILIZE WATER. Purification Effected by Using a Few Dense of Chloride of Silver Drops of Chlorine or Silver. The constantly increasing demand for pure water and for some method by which it can be obtained the rendered communication made by Prof. Paterno to the Reale Academia del Lincet especially interesting. Prof. Paterno has suggested a process for the purification of drinking water which constitutes a great step forward in the study of this important problem. From numerous and extensive experiments made by this author it appears that by adding to impure water, even that contains a small quantity of chloride of silver there is accomplished the complete distillation of the water. For this purpose two milligrams' or at most two and one half milligrams of the chloride are sufficient to absolutely sterilize a liter of water and to eliminate every danger of infection. The process is so simple that one cannot expect any improvement upon it in the future, may be achieved by using every day of life the sterilization be complete after a few minutes—ten at the most—and no apparatus being necessary beyond a small vial with a solution of chloride of silver. The water keeps its flavor and all of its properties without modification, only undergoing a slight whitening, which disappears after a few hours of repose. Water purified by means of boiling, ozone and all other processes known up to the present, when exposed to the air soon becomes imminent. Paterno keeps the water pure for many months—Tribulus, Roma. GOOD EDITORS ARE RARE. None but Thorough Newspaper Men Appreciate Their Value. A story is told of the late John Swinton, for many years managing editor of the New York Sun, who, when told by the late Charles A. Dana that he was willing to pay $125 a week for a first-class editorial writer, replied that a first-class man could not be obtained for that. Dana said: "You need to be yourself a first-class man? "No," rejoined Swinton, "if I were a first-class man I should be paying you $125 a week." The story illustrates that a man like Swinton, who was a philanthropist, could of course never be the founder of a newspaper like the Sun, which Mr. Dana framed as a mere money-making machine. As a more publicist John Swinton who said that he, is as able a writer, he was as well-informed a man, and he 'was an educated printer. Give him the same comparatively sordid ambition as that of Mr. Dana and John Swinton could have made a money-making newspaper, but John Swinton was like Franklin; he was a man of humanitarian views and opinions, and cared little about creating a money-making machine, but a man who was a world a little warmer in some of its cold spots for his having lived in it. - Portland Oregonian.

His One Shirt. Francis Wilson tells a story about a leading man of a theatrical company that had become stranded at Saginaw. The leading man installed himself at a hotel and lived a precarious life while waiting for remittances. One morning he rang the bell in his room for half an hour. Nobody answered. Then he went out into the hall, leaned over the railing and called: "Boy! Oh, boy!" "What is it?" snarled a bellboy from the lobby beneath. "Have you seen anything of my laundry?" 'Aw, g'wan!" said the boy. "You can't but one shirt since you've been here." "That," said the actor, with great dignity, "is the one to which I refer." In England. A lady of New England met a lady of old England in England. The American lady, wishing to impress the English lady, volunteered the information that her own ancestors had been Knickerbockers.

A quaint story is told of the manner in which the late Lady Duff Gordon was proposed for by her husband. When she was a young girl she was thrown much into the company of people she met, and people began to gossip about them. "No you know people say we are going to be married?" Sir Alexander said to her one day. Indignant that he should mention the matter so bluntly, she burst out with a hot retort, but he checked her. "What are you saying?" he asked. She forgot her indignation and shyly answered "Yes." Lady Duff Gordon lived a great part of her life in Egypt, and was loved by the natives more than any other Englishwoman has been before and since. She was very beautiful, and a veritable Helen of Troy in her power over the hearts of men. When she was a gray-halced grandmother a year before she sheilded herself, force her husband and marry him, telling her that she was "a woman for whom men killed each other or themselves." Write Notes to Themselves. "Actors are great hands to write 'mash' notes to themselves," said a stage manager. "The leading young men, you see—the heroes that marry the beautiful girls—are supposed to attract to the theater myrids of young women. They draw big pay on this account, their friends talk seriously of the powerful, almost hypnotic influences that they exert on romantic females. This power is the stock in trade of the actor who travels on his beauty instead of on his art, and he must always have tangible, proof of it. So if the young women don't come up each mall with a bunch of authors Fire ordinances are by no means modern or even complicated, at least in proportion to the new inventions and causes, electric lights and other elaborate and inflammable fixtures, and to the various inventions and methods of prevention. Nearly a hundred years ago there were ordinances as numerous and as long for the prevention and extinction of fire. In 1815 Detroit had an elaborate fire ordinance. It ordered every householder to provide a pair of water buckets and a wooden vessel holding twenty or twenty-five gallons, "with two loops strongly attached thereto," which were always to be kept full of water in a container of fireproof cover. You must have a lever or pole of sufficient weight and strength to sustain said vessel. To each chimney of his house he must attach a substantial ladder, to be fastened to the roof, and another ladder long enough to communicate with the first. Every male person capable of giving assistance, on an alarm of fire, repair to the scene, carrying one or more of such vessels, and obey the orders of one of the trustees. Twelve householders appointed by the board each with a "good felling ax" and repair to the place of the fire. Six others were to be provided by the corporation with three battering rams, to be used at fires. There were also twenty-four to be provided with "fire hooks." Every shopkeeper must provide himself with two or three bushel bags for firefighting. For neglecting to provide these various implements, a fine of 45 was im- FIRE BUCKET WATER VESSEL AND LEYER FIRE HOOK BATTERING RAM tic mash notes, he sees to it, anyway, that he gets mash notes all right. He times them so that they reach the theater during rehearsal. The manager every afternoon brings them to him—a half dozen pink and blue and cream envelopes, smelling of violet and orris. He takes them with a guffaw, reads them, passes them around. Every one pretends to be amused at their silly contents, but the minute the actor's back is turned the murmur backs and back, "how's it done? He backs and himself. He speaks hours a day writing himself mash notes." To tell the truth this actor gets a number of authentic mash notes, but nobody believes it. It is thought that every note is a fake." Life and Love. Most men know love but as a part of life; they hide it in some corner of the breast; Even themselves; and only when they rest.

An Defective Page Sectional view, showing the shutters which inclose the escape and the permanent fastenings which keep it in place. Every big fire has some effect on the invention of appliances which are used in the saving of life at such a time, and the great loss of children's lives in the Iroquois disaster has directed the attention of inventors to the rescue of the little ones when they are too overcome by fear to think for themselves. For their protection from fire in the home one clever mind has just designed the accompanying escape for children's nurseries. An opening is made in the wall of the room, which connects directly with the street. The outside and inside of the opening are protected with shutters. An opening away from the wall. Into the space between these shutters a collapsible canvas chute is packed in much the same way as an accordion folds up, with one end securely fastened to the wall by means of chains. When there is an alarm of fire all that has to be done is to open the inside shutter inwards, give the outer shutter and chute a push, and the whole thing falls to the ground, disclosing a canvas passage, down which it is easy to make a safe journey to the ground.

A "woman's reason," with all its traditional lack of logic, came out in an amusing fashion at a recent dinner party in Brooklyn. In the course of the evening the conversation drifted around to those old little mathematical bits of the Howold-is-Ann variety, when one of the company, with explanations that the next problem would not be a very difficult one, questioned as follows: "If a bottle and a cork together cost $1.10, and the bottle cost a dollar more than the cork, how much did the cork cost? Almost instantly one of the ladies was ready with the answer: "Why, the cork cost five cents and the bottle $1.05. That's too easy." The lady's husband, familiar through years of experience with her woeful lack of skill in figures, looked up in astonishment. "Heaven's!" he exclaimed. "How did you come to that so soon?"

If you will follow a mink's track in the snow any winter day it will usually lead you before long to the mutiny of a tragedy, just some trampled snow and a red stain. The whole method of the mink's hunting is toole by the scent of a rabbit, taking every precaution not to betray its presence while the wretched creature feeds, for then it is alert; how it follows bunny to where it sleeps beneath a log, an upturned root or the snow-covered top of a fallen tree, and then stealthily creeps on the unsuspecting prey. How sometime the rustling of a dead leaflaws the rabbit, who leaps forward perhaps in a hurry, is caught in the most light of the mink's mouth more often too tate and the red stalk tells us that the rabbit has been eaten where it expected to sleep.

As Waddy generally has his own wife they were brought into a room on the seventeenth floor be converted into a stable for them for the time being. When the day of the party arrived the goats took a silent part in the pleasures of the afternoon, looking or in that particularly wise manner which is the way of goats.

"They talked a long time, and finally one of ladies were enraged. He uttered an oath, and, taking up a glass of wine, he threw it full in his opponent's face. "The other wiped the wine away quickly with his napkin. "The judge, 'wag was a depression. Now he resume the argument.' And he went on talking calmly, and thus the ladies were spared a disgraceful scene." Arcadie.

Jewelled Figure of the Virginal Sold for $25,000—Discovery of Its Value an Accident—Had Been for Years Comparatively Unnoticed. A curious discovery has just been made concerning an image of the Virgin in the chapel of the Colegio de las Vizcainas in the City of Mexico. One day, in 1732, three Spaniards while rambling through the city notified a number of poor children playing in the street, apparently uncared for and with no school to attend. This meeting inspired them to erect at a cost of $600,000 the great, gloomy red stone building occupying an entire block and known as the Colegio las Vizcainas, or de San Ignacio or de la Pas, for girls chiefly orphans. The intention of the generous trio, natives of Biscay, was to limit the benefits of the school to children of Spaniards, but long ago this was found impracticable. This ancient institution is conducted under the supervision of some of the foremost ladies of Mexico, including the wife of President Diaz. Recently some of these women received permission to renovate the robes of the images in the college chapel. To do this they unlock all the cases, including one of wood and glass in which a figure of the Virgin stood for many years undisturbed. To their amazement the apparently humbly clad image proved to be of wood, beautifully and artistically carved, covered by a sheet of silver studded with gold and precious stones. Competent judges say the image represented originally the Virgin of the Angels and was later transformed into the Virgin of the Conception, as shown by the mutilation of the group of angel heads on which the feet rested. The heads were covered with heads and three had been severed. A silver sclerv, now in two pieces, had been nailed over the head and face of one of the angels. The attitude of the body is extremely natural and correct, and the workmanship of the silver tunic and the vell, hanging in rich folds and gracefully caught at the waist, is highly praised by artists. From crown to base the height is 1 metre and 15 centimetres. The jewels consisted of 192 diamonds, 342 emeralds, 26 rubles, 1,947 pearls, with four stones said to be hyacinths. Notwithstanding the care taken to protect the image after the discovery of its value, some thief was able to steal from the case seventeen gold chains, one gold and emerald butterfly and several diamonds and pearls. An expert from the Monte de Piedad, national pawnship, estimated the value of the figure and decorations at $20,000. An offer from a jeweler of $25,000 was accepted and the image sold to him. It is rumored that the image will be sent to Paris. The purchase money will be used in providing for an additional number of students who, after receiving an education, want to go abroad or of going into the world. The right to this home, "jugar de gratia," ceases only with marriage. Where Justice Halts. Describing some of the difficulties attending the administration of justice in Nigeria, a British officer says: "The cases tried by judicial officers are often puzzling. How, for instance, shall an officer trained in British ideas of law deal with the case of a man who confesses with full conviction and sincerity that he is guilty of transforming himself into an alligator or hyena and devouring the children of his neighbors? Common report may, in a second case, accuse a man of witchcraft or murder; the leaker is appealed to for criminality or ordure. He dispatches his messenger to administer it; the accused perhaps dies, but all are convinced that he ran no risk if he were innocent. Who is to be convicted? The inflexible logic of British-made law lacks elasticity to deal with such cases." Good Morning.

SATURDAY, FEBUARY 27, 1904. 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, and it will present suggestions something to talk about. Other Republican conventions have been held as follows: Philadelphia, June 17, 1856—Nominees, John C. Fremont, of California, and William L. Dayton, of New Jersey. Chicago, May 16, 1860—Nominees, Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, and Hanniel Hamlin, of Maine. Baltimore, June 7, 1864—Nominees, Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, and Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee. Chicago, May 20, 1863—Nominees, Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, and Schuyler Coltax, of Indiana. Philadelphia, June 5, 1872—Nominees, Ullysses S. Grant, of Illinois, and Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts. Chicago, June 2, 1880—Nominees, and Chesser A. Arthur of New York. Chicago, June 19, 1883—Nominees, Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, and Lev P. Morton, of New York. Minneapolis, June 19, 1892—Nomine- s, Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana and Whitehall Reid, of New York. St. Louis, June 16, 1892—Nominees, William McKinley, of Ohio, and Garret A. Hobart, of New Jersey. Philadelphia, June 19, 1902—Nominees, William McKinley, of Ohio, and Garret A. Hobart, of New Jersey. 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 Ohio, with the single exception of 1884, when the honor went to given to the president, given a distinction, when Mr. Roosevelt is nominated next June. NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN LYONS. Much interest is being manifested throughout the country in regard to the re-election of Hon. J. W. Lyons as National Committeeman for Georgia. It is surely gratifying to note the unanimity favors his retaliation of all sections that he is looked upon not only as a safe and wise leader for Georgia, but that the country recognizes in him those firm and manly qualities that are needed in these times when the unanimity perniciously assailed. This concentration of forces and unselfishness of purpose for the general weal will do us more good than all the separate action in the different sections. It reveals a force and idea at work among the citizens that confront us, and must eventually reound to our good. Mr. Lyons has been a member of the National Committee since 1896, and has been a champion of the best interests of his people. He has been a bulwark against the fallacious idea of cutting down Southern representation in the national convention and has demonstrated by his able addresses during campaigns, especially in the elections is not an incubus upon the Republican party, but a potent factor in determining its weal or wee. He is firm in the belief that no mistake was made in making the thirteenth, fourth, eighth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution, and that surrender the ballot, for "political education is like the strength of the whole depends upon it." The strong and able views expressed by him on "illly white uncompromising position against disarmament of an untramured ballot for all citizens alike, and the mastery array of data, showing the material progress of the Afro-American in the country—the things challenge the admiration of disarmament, and the record, there is no wonder that all are anxious for him to remain. A member of the highest council of the "G. O. P. Georgia is therefore the cynosure of all eyes, and it is to be hoped that will do her work on her noble son. A NEW CHILD." Officer Jefferson Davis Chamberlain of the New Orleans police force has invented a new crime. He arrested W. A. Baptiste, an Afro-American, on the charge of having given him a "contemptible look." Baptiste was on Canal street and had a bicycle, and the officer ordered him to move on. "The officer said I will not move with the celerity of the wind, the officer said I believe I'll take you in, anyhow, I don't like your looks." The sergeant interfered, and Baptiste moved away. As he was going, the officer explained to the court Baptiste looked like a burglar and looked in the world. Judge Hughes never had occasion to try a charge of this kind, and asked the officer to describe the look which hurt him so much. The officer, however, was unable to scrounge up his face into the contemptible look for which the officer could not obtain the evidence of how that contemptible look really looked, he discharged Baptiste. BEREA LOSES ITS FIRST FIGHT. The lower house of the Kentucky legislature has, by a vote of 73 to 5, passed the Day bill prohibiting the coeducation of Caucasian and Afro-American children in the state. One member, Mr. Proctor of Grayson county, had the manhood to raise his voice in protest against a law with such effect that the other members, not wishing to hear the truth, left the house and he soon found himself talking to empty benches. The bill is aimed at Berea College, an institution which has done much to dispel the cloud of ignorance and fear in the ground." The Berea forces will continue their opposition and hope to persuade Gov. Beckham to veto the bill if passed by the Senate. Berea has 800 white and 150 Afro-American students. President Frost says that the students will never be separated from their class, even comes a law, that the college will go out of existence rather than yield to the spirit of caste. IS THE SOUTH CIVILIZED? At Crossfell, Arkansas, "grungy laws" chained to a stake and burned to death by a mob of more than a thousand. No effort at disguise was made by the belongs composing the mob. When the fire was started in the faggots piled around the stock, but his cries and moans of anguish were greeted with cheers of derision by the spectators. When the wood piled around the stake had been nearly consumed, and the twisted and burned body hung in the fire, it came twenty or thirty shots were fired into the already dead man. Some women witnessed the affair as did also a hundred or more mere children, who seemed to think that the fire had been gotten up for their especial benefit, and that the dan and dane Indians, wild Indians, Isle of the South, civilized? THE NORTH WINS At the meeting of the Western Amateur Press Association at Chicago amendment was offered by George T. Richards of Tennessee, shutting out Afro-America membership, who declared, "The admission of Afro-America literary aspirants would lower the standard of membership." Julius O. Roeh of Wisconsin opposed the suggestion, claiming that the intelligent enough to meet the literary requirements is certainly entitled to enter. Such men as Paul Lawrence Dunbar and Booker T. Washington are a credit to any people. The association was a contest between the North and the South and the North won. The Virginia legislature is working overtime, enacting laws aimed at the Afo-American. The latest bill, one introduced by Engene Ould of Lynchburg, is designed to prevent Afo-American businesses from hiring sleepers, diners and chair cars. The bill gives conductors of Pullman and other transportation companies full power to exclude any and all passengers who, in their judgment, should not be allowed to ride. The understanding is that the law will be excluded. Afo-American servants of Caucasians will be exempted from the operation of the law. If the bill becomes a law, there will be no escape for refined. Afo-American ladies—they will be compelled to ride in the filth "Jim Crow" THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER 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, Feb. 25.—Since the Japanese have demonstrated their ability to wage what appears to be a great war against the Russians, we hear a great deal of talk about the "yellow peril." There seems to be an undisguised fear that forty-five million Japanese will combine with the five hundred million Chinese, who are but sleepy giants, and teach them the arts of modern civilization and therefore dominating the world. Such a condition is not altogether imaginary, and the statesmen of the dominant powers may well view with alarm these millions of men with unlimited resources, whose thrust for world power has been provoked by the alluring achievements on and water of the American and European powers. the whirligig of time brings on many changes. The history of nations teaches us that the slaves of today are the masters of tomorrow, and history has been known to repeat itself. The "yellow peril" is a real peril. While mentioning peril, it might be well to suggest the fact that there is a "black peril," not in America, but in Africa. In speaking of recent native Americans, the New York Mall and Liberia, Africa, the New York Mall and Express says: "The scene of this deed is significant, for if the black avalanche is ever let loose in Africa, it will undoubtedly be by the hand of a black leader who can organize thoughts of black-rule and independence, such as those that prevail in Liberia. For the attempt, at least, nothing is wanted but the Toussaint black leader who can organize the divers and mutually foreign nations and tribes and inspire them with a common motive of revolt. A Negro King Philip, a Negro Pontiac, a Negro leader, a black leader upon the earth may some day be heard in the earthquake, is neither inconceivable nor impossible." Surely in these "perils" we find food for thought. Rev. James L. White, an Afro-American, recently presented to President Roosevelt a request that he aid in bringing about legislation for the establishment and inform Afro-Americans, the money for this purpose to be appropriated by Congress from the arrears of pay and bounty due the estates of deceased Afro-American soldiers. And on the 18th instant Senator Hoar presented petitions of Baptist churches, representing 2,000,000 members, of African Methodist Episcopal churches, representing 750,000 members, and of African Methodist Episcopal churches representing 550,000 members, all in the United States, praying that an appropriation be made for the construction and maintenance of a memorial national home in the District of Columbia for African Americans. The petitions were referred to the Committee on Military Affairs. In the Northern States there are eight public high schools for Afro-American children exclusively—Indiana has four: Illinois two, Carlo and East St. Louis; and Ohio and East St. Louis, which are healthy sign to note that no such schools are found in large cities like Chicago, New York, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Cincinnati or Indianapolis, where equal opportunities are given secondary students regardless of racial ties. These eight schools show thirty-four teachers and 462 students, or one teacher to every 14 pupils, which is far below the average in attendance for mixed high schools throughout the country. Mr. James C. Campbell spent last Sunday in Baltimore viewing the ruins. Prominent among the social happenings of the week was the "Martha Washington Tea," given under the auspices of the Prudence Crandall Association. The proceeds of the entertainment to purchase shoes for needy Afro-American school children of the district. The receiving party consisted of Mrs. Robert Terrell, president, assisted by Mrs. Robt. Douglas and the Misses Merit, Tyson, Garrett, Matthews and Chase, all of whom were attired in Martha Washington costume. The affair was a success financially as well as socially, and Mrs. Terrell was much gratified with the results. Mrs. Blanche Bradford-Dorsey of Philadelphia was a guest of Miss Musette Brooks last week. Miss Georgia Savoy of Capital Hill entertained a party of friends Friday evening. Mr. John Downing of Pittsburgh is spending a few days in the city. Mr. Albertus Brown, who for some years has been a stenographer and secretary to the late Senator M. A. Hanna, has returned from Cleveland, where he went to witness the last of all that was earthly of that grand man for whose death the nation mourns. A special meeting of the Wilberforcians was held Thursday evening at the residence of the president, Prof. Wm. A. Joiner. Mr. Percy D. Spence, of the War Department, is visiting relatives and friends in Chester, Pa., for a few days. Much interest is manifested in the rumor of the engagements of several school teachers who have long been prominent in social affairs. The gentlemen friends of Mr. Chas. J. Pickett of Illinois find some difficulty in locating him these days, and he a question whether he is busy at the Capitol or in another part of the city. A program of unusual excellence was given by the well known Amphion Glee Club Monday evening at 'Grand Army Hall. The club has been heard annually in concert, and the programmes rendered on these occasions have been uniformly excellent and enjoyable. Miss Mollie Lyers, a teacher in Maryland, is home on a few days' vacation. Charles E. Hall. 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 Afro-American. Scott Bibb and a number of others refused to send their children there and attempted to send them to the 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 supreme courts a number of times, and has been reversed and remanded in court 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 read?

Anent Luscious Figs. After fgs have been collected they are dipped in boiling brine, and then dried on trays for from two to four days, according to the weather. The dipping is supposed to bring the sugar to the surface and hasten the drying. After being dried the fgs are placed in "sweat boxes," holding 2000 pounds each, where they remain for two weeks. Then they are then washed in all dirt, and are packed by women and girls in half-pound, one-pound and ten-pound boxes, in layers, being split primarily with a short-bladed knife. An Oddity in Cushions A new sofa pillow for a den is made of cream colored pongee, in the shape of a meal sack. The sack is tied with crimson satin ribbon, just as a meal sack would be, and the top is faced with red, so that it shows a pretty contrast with the cream colored pongee, as it spreads open. Cunningly peeping from the folds of this top is brown velvet mouse so realistic in appearance as to be a source of much amusement. A design of wheat ears is embroidered upon the front of the pillow.

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 help, is not less 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. POLITICAL POINTERS FROM ALL PARTS OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY. The Politicians and Their Doings in the Country, State and City. Although the Campaign is a Long Way Off, the Pot Begins to Boil. For a considerable length of time before he died and preceded the stupor which came during the last day Senator Hanna had periods of incoherence, during which it was easy to discover what was in his mind. He though he in the next Republican conducted the details of its management making suggestions from time to time, and then on the floor of the convention itself appeared to be swept into the full tide of an effort to restrain the enthusiasm of his own friends and to direct his own business in making the benefit of Theodore Roosevelt. As near as the nurses could detect from his rambling talk, which at times was singularly incisive and then again drifted into absolute incoherence, he was again and again on the floor of his own delegation and then the 'great body of the convention itself, urging, imploring, and demanding they should join with him in insisting on the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt. In his muttered talk he disclaimed again and again the fact that he had clared President Roosevelt, and he alone, was entitled to the nomination because he was in the place, and because his administration had been a fair one. He seems no doubt this delirium reflected what was in the 'senator's mind when he began to lose consciousness. His vague talk probably forefashioned what he intended to do, and it may be safely assumed that when the right time came he would have given his consent to "big four" of the Ohio delegation, or from the platform by virtue of his position as chairman of the national committee, and declared for Roosevelt. President Roosevelt was the recipient of the last letter written by Senator Hanna. It was written on the Tuesday prior to his death, and was purely a personal note acknowledging the President's kindness and consideration in expressing his personal interest in the Senator's sickness. The letter now is in the hands of the senator's family. It is to be photographed and presented to the original, who is required to be returned to the President, who will preserve it carefully. The vice president boom of Senator Fairbanks is pressing to the front of President Roosevelt and his friends. Whatever Senator Fairbanks personal intentions may be, he cannot restrain the enthusiasm of his Indiana followers, who are insisting not only that he is a candidate, but that he must accept nomination. * * * The success of Representative Babcock in the Third Wisconsin District is accepted by Wisconsin Republicans in Washington as the beginning of the end of Governor Pollitt's dominance of the party in that state. They say that he staked his on the outcome and that he will have to abide by the result. Congress is now working under what is practically an agreement of the leaders at both ends of the Capitol. This agreement looks to despatch in disposing of the public business and to an adjournment of the session about May 1st. William J. Bryan regards as "ridiculous" the possibility of the nomination of Grover Cleveland for the presidency. Perry S. Heath has resigned as secretary of the Republican National Committee. HER FACE IN THE WAY. What Caused Little One's Disatisfaction with the Mirror. "I have no great fear that Gertrude will grow up to be vain; that is, if her present attitude toward her big blue eyes and pretty curls continues," said a fond mamma. "This morning she stepped on a stool in front of my big mirror and stood there for seven minutes, little frown, and all the while dodging from side to side as though playing be-peep. 'What's the matter, dear?' I asked, and the answer I received was so different from anything I could have expected that it quite staggered me. Oh, mamma! I was afraid. 'Do you love me awfully. Every time I look in the glass my face gets in the way!' Headache. The ordinary feminine headache will be greatly relieved and in many cases entirely cured, by removing the bodice, knotting the hair high up on the head out of the way and, while sponge inked in water as hot as can leaning over the basin, placing a borne, on the back of the neck. Repeat this many times, also applying the sponge behind the ears, and the strained muscles and nerves that have been compressed, relax and smooth themselves out delicately, and very frequently the pain promptly vanishes in consequence. It Was All Arranged. A London barrister used to tell of an instance that occurred in his own experience of trial by jury in Wales. A well-known local solicitor named Garnons was concerned in a case. While counsel was addressing the jury its members quietly turned from him, put their heads together and then the foreman addressed the judge: "It's no use, my lord, for the gentleman in the wi to talk any more, as we agreed in the Blue Lion last night to vote for Mr. Garnons of Rhiwgoch." The World's All Right I never shall believe, its world fragile. While things are as they are, while men the world must still be swinging right As long as people shout The world must still be swinging right At last put down and out. While men are glad to look upon The beautiful and bright. The world, with all the faults it has, While melodrama's vice is hissed And virtue there has praise. I will not believe the world has turned for we very tired. Knowles Building. Boys' Hall. Stone Hall. Girls' Hall. Model Home. ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, Atlanta, Ga.

L. Thompson, of Des Moines, Iowa, won the prize, the proud father of a prize-winning baby. His little one-year-old daughter Euola won a $10 prize in an international pretty baby contest in Canada and the United States, conducted by the American baby magazine N. Y.

Republican Candidate for Nomination as Assemblyman. ROSS CLARK Mr. Ross Clark, who is a candidate for the Republican nomination for Assembler, is a well known attorney of St. Paul. He has always taken an active interest in public affairs and local politics; he is a speaker of mucility and for many years has been on the staff of Republican campaigners. He is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, of the Commercial Club and other public organizations. He is a firm and consistent believer in the brotherhood of man Defective Page CLIFFORDA.SMITH The New and Successful TAILOR Has on inspection a new and exclusive line of Spring and Summer Novelties in SUITS AND COVERT COATINGS.

Mr. Clark, though he has helped many others to get office, has only been a candidate for the office when he was a candidate before the primaries for the office of clerk of courts of Ramsey county. There can be no doubt that he will be able to defile he appres with general satisfaction. Vote for him. Webster for Chairman. There is a strong sentiment among the republican leaders in fact that the executive committee, and manager of the coming campaign, and manager of the republican ticket, the Webster has had a conspicuous place. That man is well, the ticket fills amply testifies. Ticket Pleases Everybody The republican ticket, completed, has been the subject of hearty debate, some of the comments: "We are the party." The ticket is one of the strongest ever put before the republican party and just as strong as the party should have no difficulty in making selections from such M. W. Filagerae--Strong in every par- tition. The winning ticket is: bound to the outcome. E. G. Krahmer-I do not see how it could well be improved upon. could well be improved upon. He will harmonize all the factions, and one, too, that will command the support of Ed Dahl. The republicans have corrupted the plan of placing of Col. Kiefer on the list will give the ticket positive strength. Judge Bazille—It is many years since the set of men was placed before the party. TALKS: BACK TO JUDGE Assessed $10 and Later Fine Is Remitted. Judge Finehout of the municipal court and F. L. McGhee had a tilt in the court room Thursday, resulting in Mr. McGhee being fined $10 for assault but afterward the fine was remitted. The case of Mrs. Allen, who charges her husband with assault and battery, was being heard by a jury. McGhee had been in conversation with the plaintiff, and he was told that he was endeavoring to have the woman withdraw the complaint. Judge Finehout told him not to interfere with the woman. McGhee replied that he would talk to Mrs. Allen if she saw fit. The fine was imposed instanter. McGhee afterward explained that he had accidentally met the woman in the corridor of the court house and that he had not tried to persuade her against the course she had taken. Judge Finehout accepted the explanation and remitted the fine. McGhee was finally heard Allen was discharged, as the complaining witness failed to appear. Notice. All members of North Star Lodge No. 138, U. B. F., are requested to be present at the next regular meeting, Thursday, March 3rd, at their hall, No. 319 Wabasha street. One of the national officers will be present, and there will also be an election of officers. E. W. Lindsay. See: The Vermillion County Republican convention will be held at Danville, March 10th. Electric Ring. An electric ring, that has the appearance of being set with a magnificent diamond, is a novelty that will sell for parties. In the place where the gem should be set is a tiay glow lamp; the lamp is set in a sik and arranged as not to be noticed, connects the lamp with a pocket battery, while a push piece tables the wearer to switch the current on and off at will. It is curious to see a finger ring with a dull piece in the center, and then to observe it suddenly flash into life as if the most splendid diamond had been set to it. Too High-Flow Language Dean Hole, in impressing clergymen with the necessity of making themselves understood by their congregations, often cited as a horrible example a famous classical scholar who thus addressed a handful of farm laborers in a country mission room: "In this beautiful country, my brethren, you have the apotheosis of nature and an apedikneosis of therapeutic omnipotence." The dean was not surprised when he asked one of the flock what it was about, to be answered: "It was about an hour and a half." Simple and Effective In Hungary, when the question of the baby's future comes up for discussion among the gypsies, there is no time wasted in an argument. A blanket is held by the four corners and the baby is thrown into the air. If it comes down on its little stomach, it is a sign that it is going to be a musician; if it falls on its back it is to be a thief; and the education of the child is begun as soon as possible in one of these two time-honored professions. Pancakes and Long Life That is a distinctly novel theory which is put forward as to the connection between pancakes and longevity. For one thing, it is pointed out that people live long in the mountain districts of Norway, where milk and cream are abundant and pancakes eaten in large quantities. Then we learn that a Long Island octogenarian, Mr. Wells, of Mattituck, ascribes his good health to his daily eating of a pancake baked by his wife.

Tommy's Essay on Preachers. The following essay by a youthful boarding school boy throws quite a new and interesting light on church dignitaries: "There are three kinds of elergymen bishops rectors and curats. the bishops让 the rectors to work and the curats have to do it. Curat is a thin married man but when he is rector he gets fuller and can preach longer sermons and becomes a good man, we shall always respect a curat and in day he may be cum a rector and we must always pity those who are low down in the world, any of us may be misfortunate so we must not hit a man with a stone."—English Exchange.

Quite a large number of Minneapolis folks attended the Douglass celebration at Pilgrim Baptist Church last Sunday evening and listened with much delight to the oration of the occasion by Harvey B. Burk. King Solomon, the Hindoo fortune teller, was arrested last Wednesday, accused of shooting two of his wife's fingers off. When taken to the station the mysterious king flashed a rot of $1.200. He then called a message from $12 lunch and a dozen 25-cent cigars. Before leaving the city Mr. Chas. H. Calloway, who represents the Montana copper industry, left a few shares of stock in the company he is agent for, that can be dispensed in this kind of investment can obtain information on the subject from the assayer of the company represented by Mr. Calloway, who is in Minneapolis for a few days and will be leased to meet those interested any afternoon. He will be at the hours of 3 and 5 at 1020 Guaranty Loan building. The death of Geo. W. Day, which took place last Sunday evening, removes from our midst one of our best citizens, one of the race's strong men. Mr. Day was well known, being a member of the race was also associated with many other organizations. He was a pillar in St. Thomas' Mission. At the time of his death he held the responsible position of deputy state weightmaster of grain. Mr. Day was the very best meal in the whole line of employees. The funeral topk place Wednesday at 2 p. m. from St. Thomas' Mission, many friends being present. The Masonic services were held at the residence and were very impressive. Many beautiful offerings were made, the most notable of which was the broken wheel by the T. S. T. Co. of which he was an honored member. A wife and two brothers are left to mourn his loss. Wanted.

Republicans Given the Majority in Two Wards and in Scattering Districts. Judges for the Coming primary and spring elections were named by the board of aldermen and the assembly last night, and it was only by the most strenuous work that the republicans seemed to have succeeded. True to their threat, the democratic leaders had prepared a list that gave them, almost without exception, two out of three judges in every predictor of the city, but they later surrendered the First and Seventh wards and a few scattering presidents in the city. An equitable division was made in the Ninth and a part of the Eighth wards. The work of selecting the judges started in with a rough-house tendency, several of the democrats, among them Alderman Huber, ridiculing the republican demand for an even split. They were scared, however, at the threatened filibuster on the art of the republican and finally conceded two of the wards and some of the other predicts. To make their threat of a determined stand good, the republicans had to have their full strength present, and, when Assemblyman Wheeler failed to appear, they had to take what they could get. The republicans, however, and leaders generally admitted that they were satisfied. No attempt was made by the prohibition and people's parties to secure recognition. A few of them were recognized by the adherent to the extent of giving them places in a few of the precincts. Seventh--H. Hanson; D; Tony Welter, D; Thomas McGurre; D; J. R. Eighth--Hames H.

The Grand Opera House will offer as its attraction following "The Orpheum Show," an old favorite in the person of Mr. Joseph Murphy. Mr. Murphy is well known as an actor on the stage, and it is unnecessary FRANKLIN S. SMITH to dwell on his merits as an entertainer. His art is finished, original and always fresh. He is not artificial, but simply the living and moving embodiment of the character he is impersonating. He has a musical voice, a pleasing personality and above all never panders to the taste of any one not caring for a refined performance. "Shan Rhue" is one of those homely Irish dramas that always appeals to the heart, and as "Shan Rhue" (Red John) Mr. Murphy is able to keep his audience in almost alternate laughter Irish wit and the tears the moment and tears. Laughter follows his droll of pathos, particularly when driven from home he visits the grave of his mother, and picking up some earth sings that pathetic ballad "A Handful of Earth," which never fails to make a splendid impression. "Kerry Gow" is an Irish play similar to "Shan Rhue" but shows the favorite actor in a role as strong, as the Kerry blacksmith, with his stout heart, strong arm and always ready to help anyone in distress. As "Dan O'Hara" he is full of Irish vim and wit and his impersonation is artistic and true. "Kerry Gow" will be presented on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights and Wednesday matinee and "Shan Rhue" the balance of the week.
