BABY MOOSE THAT CAME TO AN UNTIMELY END. Mired for Days Knee Deep in Mud, His Rescue Came Too Late-Gratitude of Little Creature Toward His Would-Be Preservers. Not one hunter in a hundred ever gets a chance to see a tragedy of the wilderness. Not one in ten thousand ever has the opportunity to earn the gratitude of one of its denizens. Arthur L. Gillam has had both, and photographs that he has brought home show just what has been his fortune to see and to do. With R. M. Grant, Mr. Gillam recently went to Maine on a hunting trip. The two gentlemen are familiar with every lake, bog, mountain and stream in the great wilderness between the Alleghany and the upper Munsungan. They knew the haunts of the big game there and their rifles brought down their shape of the poils morning. Mr. Gillam came across a moose—a baby moose—which could not escape his rifle had it been able. It was mired knee deep in the mud on the border of the little stream which connects Clear lake with the Fifth Musquodock. It was plain to see that the little fellow had taken refuge there to escape one of its enemies—perhaps a bear or a lucie, as the natives call the Canada lynx. Mr. Gillam had his camera with him. He got as close as he could with the rifle before little fellow grew frightened he was able to get a fine photograph of the baby as he stood in the mire, helpless and forlorn. When he got back to camp Mr. Gillam told Mr. Grant, and two days later the two hunters sought the spot again to see if the little moose was still there. He was and apparently in more distress than ever. "The poor little fellow ought to be got out," said Mr. Gillam, "just for his pluck." They so chopped down trees and brush and soon built a firm foundation around the tiny moose and another for themselves. Then with ropes and much pulling and hauling they finally got him on their solid ground. The little moose was all gratitude. He licked the heads of his preservers and suddenly no fear at their presence, though moose are among the most timid animals that inhabit the wilds. But the long exposure and his many struggles, together with the lack of food, proved too much for even this little sturdy son of the forest. Soon his limbs gave way and he sank to the ground, played out. The hunters were little fellows, but their efforts were useless. He died, licking their hands in his mute thankfulness for what they had done for him. Mr. Gillam was among the luckiest hunters in that region. He got the one moose and the two deer allowed by law. The moose was a splendid bull, with horns that had eighteen points and measured fifty-one inches from the ground. But three was dropped with a single shot from a 303 caliber Savage—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Free for Kitten. Bartenders, who perhaps are not sympathetic with their fellows, seem invariably to be kind to children and animals. The other night a man walked into a barroom holding a shivering cat under his overcoat. "I found this frapped beast out on the sidewalk," he said to the bartender. "Give us something to drink to warm us up. I'll take a hot Scotch and give the cat whatever she wants." The bartender defly concocted the hot Scotch, drawing the water from the steaming heater at the end of the bar. Then he poured out a saucer of milk, added enough hot water to warm the milk, and set it on the bar. The man and the cat drank their respective beverages eagerly. "How much?" asked the man. "Fifteen cents." "Nothing for the milk?" "No." "Will you adopt the cat, then?" asked the man. "Sure," said the bartender. "Why, you're a philofiloxerist," exclaimed the man. "I guess so," said the bartender doubtfully. But the cat now has a warm home. The Lavender of Life. The world goes all too fast, my love and my heart.

Reduces Liquor Consumption In 1828 Sweden had one saloon to every 100 inhabitants, and the consumption of pure spirits was 6.17 gallons per capita; in 1900 she had but one saloon to 6,000 inhabitants, and the consumption had fallen to 1.3 gallons per capita. THE APPEAL. HAS CLAIM TO FAME. Story of the Man Who Discovered the First Poststalk Beefsteak, like most other good things, was discovered entirely by accident, says a writer in the Chicago Tribune. It appears that Luctus Placus, a Roman of rank, was ordered by the Emperor Trajan for some offense to act as one of the menial sacrifices to Jupiter; he resisted, but was at length dragged to the altar. There the fragments of the victim were laid upon the fire and the unfortunate senator was forcibly compelled to turn them. In the process of roasting one of the slices fell off the coals and was caught by Placus in its fall. Burned, fingers and intestines were cut, and the mouth in. In that moment he had made the grand discovery that the taste of a slice, thus carbonated, was infinitely beyond all the sodden cookery of Rome. A new expedient to save his dignity was suggested at the same time, and he at once evinced his obedience to the Emperor by seeming to go through the sacrifices with due regularity and his scorn of the employment by turning the whole ceremony into a ratter of appetite. He swallowed every slice, deluted Trajan, defrauded Jupiter and invented the beefsteak! A discovery of this signiture was made, and the sacrifice began to disappear with a rapidity and satisfaction to the parties too extraordinary to be noticed. The priests of Jupiter adopted the practice with delight, and the king of Olympus must have been soon starved if he depended on any share of the good things of Rome. Matched for $35,000 A well-known financier of this city wears a handsome ruby ring. It was admired by one of his friends the other day, who said: "You are not the only one that has taken a fancy to it. The other day Mr. Hartman said he would like to have it." The friend then said: "Well, if it had been Gates he would have matched you for it." The financier replied: "Yes, so would Schwab, and then told a story of there being a difference in the Gates and the job amounting to about $25,000. They could not agree, and rather than enter into any litigation Schwab proposed to match for the sum. It was done, and he was the winner.—Philadelphia Press. Hadn't Detected It. Heinrich Conried was standing in the back of the Metropolitan opera house a few nights ago during the performance of a German opera. As he leaned on the rail behind the back row of seats he heard the whispers of two men sitting almost in reach of his hand. One of them was apparently a native American; the other talked with a decided German dialect. “The acoustics of this house,” whispered the American, “are very bad.” The German was heard to sniff audibly once or twice. “Vot makes you say dat?” he asked of his American companion. “I don't smell anything.”—New York Times. New Graft in Missouri. "A new graft has been discovered in Sedalia," says one of the papers of that place. "Every night for some time past the men's waiting room at the Missouri Pacific station has been crowded with men sleeping in the seats. When asked their business there by station attendants, they invariably resurrected tickets to some nearby town and said that they were waiting for trains. A few days ago about fifty of these regular boarders applied at the ticket office to have the tickets redeemed. The agent then became aware of the fact that the tickets were purchased for the sole purpose of bunking in a warm room."—New York Tribune. Took Ginger Ale. A good story is told of a rounder who found himself in a well-known cafe in New York. Four young blades were there. Each ordered a pousse cafe. The Irishman watched the bartender make the gayly colored drinks and thought he would like one himself. "What will you have?" asked the bartender. "Give me one of them pussy cats," said the Irishman. "One of them what?" asked the bartender. "Arrah," said the Irishman, "give me a ginger ale, and this is the second time I've asked you." The Fire Babies. They are all mine, I love them so. They are all mine, I love them so. In endless train they go along. Enrapt with laughter and with song.

She is a clever woman, a dressmaker, who is gradually cutting her way to fame on the merit of the exquisite lines of the frocks she runs out. It is entirely on this matter of line that she bases her forecast of the imminent hoopskirt, subtle indications in the lines of the new skirt which are fast coming into fashion.

"Four or five wide "All the skirts are gathered at the waist, from which they descend in flowing, voluminous folds in a line, well outward, and then with a broad sweep inward at the hem. This peculiar and in itself graceful effect is emphatically a hoopskirt line, and as it is combined with the gathered folds and the general style of trimming favored in hoopskirt days, I consider that we have not been so dangerously threatened in the last thirty years with a return of the hoopskirt as we are to do. You now Fashion seems to have a curvier leaning toward this monstrosity, and in some form it has cropped out at irregular intervals for a good many hundreds of years. It began with the vardingale and was last heard of as the crinoline. "Never was a ridiculous fashion so railed against, so bitterly condemned; but rest assured if it really does get us in its grasp once more we will cling to it as faithfully and unreasonably as ever our mothers and grandmothers did, though the strenuous life of today is about as antagonistic to the hoopski as could be imagined by the wildest fancy. The difficulties to be encountered in crowded cars and near the Flatiron building with the hoopski are too obvious and painful to be mentioned; but there are others not so easily pictured. "One of the few merits which could be and were claimed for the crinoline was that it brought into notice the small woman who would otherwise have been insignificant; but by the same token it must have made large and tall women all too imposing. "Now, when more than half the young women are taller than man, which will be appalling, Poor, dwindling man will then stand wistfully on the outskirt, sure enough.

Plus X, Then Father Sarto, Alided Sacristan to Dig Graves. A Baltimore who is now in Rome writes home that many stories are being told of the new Pope. One which he relates in his letter refers to the time when the present pontiff was parish priest at Salzano, a village near Treviso. The story depicts X as an Alexander, accredited to the Rev. Alexander Robertson, a protestant missionary residing at Venice. It follows: "A son of the soil himself, the Pope in his earlier days was always willing to help his countrymen. The sacristan tells how more than once, when a body had to be brought to the church from a distance for a funeral service and three men or could be found to old, would himself form the fourth. When, in 1873, cholera broke out at Salzano, a panic seized the villagers, and none could be got to dig graves or bury the dead. 'Don Beppi', as Father Sarto was called, then said to his sacristan: 'You and I must do it.' So, getting spades, they set out to dig graves, not look upon the parishioners, who soon relieved them of their toll.-Baltimore Sun. A gentleman entertaining some visitors at his nome one evening.

Dressing by Lottery. The girls employed in the potteries of England are good-looking and well-dressed, have taste, which is cultivated by the work in the stories. Many of them are more stylish, perhaps, than their position seems to warrant, but this is easily explained. They buy their clothes by a system known as "Maxims." This means that twelve girls subscribe one shilling a week. The money is held by a forewoman, and when there is sufficient cash to buy a hat or dress the girl wears, the other has the new dress, the other the other has to walk their turn. Then, in all the glory of ribbons and fancy, the lucky girl appears on Sunday.

LIVE IN SAVAGE STATE. Mongolian Race Has Made Little Advance in Centuries Samoyeds, a race of Mongolians inhabiting the shores of the Arctic ocean, maintain themselves by hunting and fishing. They make use of the same implements in bone and stone, besides cherishing the same superstitions, as were current in the stone age among the inhabitants of western Europe. They clothe themselves in reindeer skins. In fine weather they wear the hair outside, and when it is wet the tunic is reversed. This interesting race is gradually dying out, owing partly to the scourge of smallpox which makes ravages among them, and also to their fondness for raw spirits, which leads them to degradation and misery, as the Russian merchants take advantage of this to cheat them but bartering for valuable skins and walrus teeth. In fact, to such an extent do these traders dude them to the Samoyeds who introduced to a state of famine and have reverted to religion. This seems to account for the name Samoyed, which was given them by the Russians, and which signifies in their language selfeating. Every year in mid-Lent these queer-looking people travel down in their reindeer sledges from Archangel to St. Petersburg and take up their abode temporarily on the frozen river Neva, where they build themselves circular huts composed of a framework of poles, over which are stretched reindeer skins. Here they traffic for the products of civilization. THEY WANTED A CHANGE Elderly Ladies Were Tired of Their Lifelong Companions. One of the tenets of modern scientific philanthropy is the provision of small private cottages for old couples whose destiny would otherwise be the poorhouses, the sexes are separated. The belief has grown that the old persons would be much happier if they could live in their little cottage together and apart from the rest of the poorhouse inmates. In the poorhouses, as they have been conducted in the past, the old couples have only been permitted to call on each other during certain hours of the day. But philanthropy, even of the scientific variety, rarely meets with the reception expected, and this rule presupposes particularly true in the case of one woman, who armed with the new offer of the charities commission, went out in search of impoverished old couples seeking their days in each other's company. When the agent returned he wore a special expression, which deepened when he made his informal report of the expedition. "The old men said they didn't mind living with the old women," he announced, "but the old women kicked like steers. They said they'd lived with the same persons all their lives and they'd looked forward to a little change when they went to the porchouse."—New York Herald. Adieu to Girlhood When, waked on summer morns from dreamless sleep. And tides of yearning wonder o'er me sweep. But yestermorn, before the soft wing came An Arab Spy Outwitted. Once at least, in Egypt, the loss of his eye in an earlier carriage proved a great service to Lord Woolsey and his army. He could get the position of the enemy's strength of position, says the London Onlooker. An Arab was captured prowling around our outposts and was brought before him. It was ten to one the sollen fellow knew everything. Lord Woolsey questioned him. The fellow and answered never a word, standing still between the two soldiers. At last a happy idea struck the general. He said in Arabic: "It is no use your refusing to answer me, for I am a wizard, and at a wish can destroy you and your masters. To prove this to you, we take out my eye, throw it cannibal and put it back in my head." And, with horror and amazement of the fellow's death Woolsey took out his glass eye threw it caught and replaced it. That was enough; the Arab capitulated, and the information he gave the staff led to the Arab's defeat. Seattle's Trade. The local vessels plying to Seattle during the year 1903, according to the figures in the annual report of the harbor master carried in the aggregate nearly 1,100,000 passengers in and out of that port, while that city shipped coastwise and to local ports merchandise to the value of $21,717,785, and received merchandise to the value of $23,244,987.

Bygones of Every Age, Disposition and Character May There Be Seen —Eclipsed Only by the Famous Latin Quarter of Paris. The favorite abode of ghosts of every age, disposition and character is not the lonely country cemetery, but the crowded, yet lonely, by-street and tenement of the great city. And the ghosts of New York do not, like those of the old deserted cemetery, apache awe or terror. They arouse a feeling of pity, a realization of forever lost opportunities. Wall street has plenty of ghosts. Sometimes they are men who in past days led the market, made and spent money like water, had scores waiting on their words for an indication how the tide of fortune would go. In those days the ticker seemed the slave of the present-day ghost. But the ticker is always a treacherous servant. Now the man who once dealt in thousands of shares of stock sits in a dingy, little bucket shop, happy when he has enough for a "two-dollar turn." He has become one of the ghosts of Wall street. The literary ghost is a distinctly different type from the ghost which haunts Wall street. He is sometimes known to the newspaper offices, but far better to book and magazine publishers, for the teeming newspaper world has little time or regard or money to expend on ghosts. Not that the literary ghost is a pauper or "sponger." His pride—for in some ways the literary ghost is a very sensitive person—saves him from that. He does considerable work, and much of it is of more than medicine value, but generally works for which another receives credit, while the ghost considers himself fortunate to get a money emolument, small as this generally is. The Rialto, too, has ghosts of its own. In fact, ghosts are probably more common among actors than in any other profession. Many of them in their day filled important roles on the stage. But the pace was too swift; they dropped back and down. Like the ghosts of financial and literary life however, they have not yet abandoned the hope of some day making a hit. They also resemble the literary ghosts to tell of merit kept down by jealousy, though with the actor ghosts it has been the envy of managers and fellow-actors, not publishers and authors, which has ruined them. New York is the greatest haunting ground in the world for ghosts of all classes and descriptions with one exception—the Latin Quarter of Paris. In Paris, the only city where a real bohemian life obtains, the ghosts are a regular institution, are known to all the residents of the Quarter and are aided in their rather intermittent efforts to make a living. Bibl, Paul Verlaine's old companion and secretary when the poet was unable to hold a pen in his r. rvous fingers, was an exemplar of the Latin Quarter ghost. For years Bibl, out at heels and elbows, yet always affable, courteous and debonair of manner, wandered about the Quarter. In his hand he invariably carried a book by the sale of which he ostensibly made a living. But it must be confessed that it was principally from the contributions of the students and other residents of the Quarter that the good Bibl obtained funds for his food, lodgings and even more necessary absinthe, the green fairy the faithful devotion at whose shrine ruined both Bibl and his more famous master. But, despite some light shades, the picture of the ghost's existence is a dark one. They are far more pitable subjects of sympathy than the tramps sleeping on the park benches or the destitute ones of a cheap lodging house. The tramps have only the physical discomforts of life to battle against. But the real sting of the ghost's existence comes from cold, or hunger or lack of home, but from the thought of "what might have been."—Edwin J. Webster in New York Times. The Cowboy's Song.

SATURDAY MARCH 5, 1963 NATIONAL CONVENTION. The date for holding the next National Republican Convention, June 21 at Chicago, is the latest of any conventions held in Iowa on the thirteenth National Republican convention, which fact will give the superstitious something to talk about. Other Republican conventions have been held as follows: Delphi, Illinois; John Fremont, of California; and William L. Dayton, of New Jersey. Chicago, May 16, 1860—Nominees. Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, and Hannah Hamil, of Maine. Chicago, May 16, 1864—Nominees. Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, and Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee. Chicago, May 20, 1868—Nominees. Ullysses S. Grant, of Illinois, and St. Louis, of Indiana. Philadelphia, June 5, 1872—Nominees. Ullysses S. Grant, of Illinois and Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts. Chiavari, June 14, 1876—Nomine Chadnati, June 14, 1876—Nominees, R. B. Hayes, of Ohio, and William A. Wheeler, of New York. Chicago, June 2, 1880—Nominees, James A. Garfield, of Ohio, and Chester Arthur, of New York. James A. Garfield, 1884—Nominees, James G. Blaire, of Maine, and John A. Lagan, of Illinois. Minneapolis, June 7, 1892—Nominees, Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, and Whitehall Reid, of New York. St. Louis, June 15, 1896—Nominees, Wm. McKinley, of Ohio, and Garrett A. Garrett, of Philadelphia, June 19, 1900—Nominees, William McKinley, of Ohio, and Theodore Roosevelt, of New York. Since the Republican party won its first victory, it will be noticed that the first name on its ticket has always been from either Illinois, Indiana, or Ohio, with the single exception of Maine. New York is yet to be given such a distinction, when Mr. Roosevelt is nominated next June. 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-Americans. Scott Bibb and a number of others refused to send their children to the nearest public school. The superintendent of schools refused to permit this and a suit for mandamus was brought in Bibbs' name against the officials. The suit has been to the appellate and has been reversed and remanded upon various points each time. An appeal will be taken to the state supreme court. Money will be needed to make the fight and the Afro-Americans of Illinois ought to furnish it. How much will $10 to start the fund. How much will you give, kind reader? A MILLION FOR DEFENSE. Kechiroshi Okahura, a millionaire of Tokio, Japan, offers his private museum worth $1,000,000, for sale in America, and he purposes to donate the amount to the Japanese war fund. It is this spirit of sacrifice which has made the Japanese a great people. We have no member of the race who is able to give $1,000,000, but there are 1,000,000 who could easily give $1 each, and if the right spirit prevailed the sum would be raised in a week by the Afro-Americans as a fund to be used in the defense of the rights of the race. It ought to be raised. There are lots of folks who claim to not understand why Afro-Americans are such hide-bound Republicans, as a general rule. Well, here is one of the reasons incorporated in the following excerpt from the daily press: "Annapolis, Md., March 2—In the house of delegates today the Jim Crow bill, introduced by Delegate Airlin, passed in the state of Maryland shall furnish separate cars for colored people, except on express trains, and that all steamboats plying in Maryland waters shall provide separate compartment cars for those who vote, the Democrats voting for it and all the Republicans against it." All the men who claim to be Republicans are not all right on the "Brotherhood of Man" principle; nor is the party, as a whole, all right on the principle. We find individual Democrats all wrong on that principle, and the Democratic party invariably wrong along that line, that of the two evil, we choose the lesser. Republicans sometimes progress, but Democrats always do so, therefore are we Republicans. The Afro-Americans of Peoria, Ill., are wrought up over the wanton shooting of one of the race by a policeman. Some time since an Afro-American shot and killed Detective Robert the murderer for his crime. After that killing it is said that an order was issued to the police to "take no chances in arresting Negroes." Last Sunday Police Officer Skilman saw an Afro-American with his wife and shot at the man before attempting to arrest him. Rev. J. H. Boyd of the First Presbyterian church, Evanston, ILL., says there were many good points in slavery. In glowing terms he depicted the limitations of the African slave in the South before the war. Brother Boyd "must have been a dreamin'" when he made his talk. Ex-President Kruger of the Transvaal has lost faith in God's justice because Dr. Jameson has been appointed premier of Cape Colony. It was God's justice that Kruger was given the power to oppose the African ricans, were given a sound thrashing by the British. A German official says the blacks in German Africa are rioting because their masters do not lick them enough. The German law prohibits more than fifteen lashes with the nincoceous whip at one and the same. THE APEALE stands for manhood suffrage with any educational or property qualification whatever. The restrictions on the suffrage in the South are for the purpose of depriving the Afro-American of his vote. A mob at Newport, Ark., wished to lynch an Afro-American accused of crime but the sheriff declared the innocence of the accused so emphatically that the mob withdrew. All honor to Sheriff Bandy. The whites of Humphrey, Ark., accused an African of getting rid of an Afro-American postmaster—they dynamized the postoffice building, completely destroying it. Booker Washington has issued a scathing denunciation of mob law. In bitter terms he denounces the civilization which permits mob law to rule. It seems that the women voters used some original methods in their attempts to "purify" police in Denver. CORRESPONDENT WANTED With View to Matrimony — Good Chance for Young Lady.

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., March 3.—An informal party was given by Miss Sarah P. Johnson of Spruce street on the evening of the 2nd in Philadelphia, William Johnson of Philadelphia. These present were: Miss Louise Williamson, Beatrice Ridgely, Theresa Lee, Maude Johnson, Sarah Johnson, George Benjamin, William Hawkins and Odie Madden, whichuche and dakking were the features. The annual dinner of the Wilberforce College Club was given at the residence of the president, Prof. W. A. Joiner, Thursday evening, Feb. 25. The table was handsome with a large centerpiece of beautiful flowers and festons of smilax draped from the chandelier and fastened at the corners of the table. How ribbon representing the college colors. Those present were: Mrs. W. L. Houston, Mrs. L. Crouse, Miss Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Blagburn, Mr. and Mrs. James Wright, President Wm. A. Johr, Dr. Hargave, Prof. Wm. Board and Chas. E. Hall. President Johr took this occasion to make reports of the rent and the discussion and during the discussion that followed, several matters were brought out regarding the business management of the institution that were not altogether pleasing to the members of the club. Many amusing college stories were told, and it was with a hearty good will that each member pledged himself to the club. The manager outed by the club. Letters of regret from J. S. Johnson and Secretary Talbert were read. Miss Lulu Love has been indisposed for several days. Mrs. Helen Wormley Anderson of Wilmington, Del., visited the city last week. Hon. John C. Dancy, recorder of deeds, lectured on "Things Which Make Man a Man before a large man" appreciative audience in Baltimore Monday evening. A contest involving the validity of the South Carolina constitution which, in effect, disfranchises the great body of Afro-Americans was recently decided in the House of Representatives No. 1, of which Congressman James R. Mann of Chicago is chairman, in favor of Mr. A. F. Lever, a democrat. Mr. Lever's Republican opponent was Mr. A. D. Dantzler, a wealthy old paperman, unable to read or write more than his own name. At the election Dantzler received only 167 votes, against 4,220 cast, for Lever. Dantzler alleged, however, that upward of 7,000 Afro-Americans would be adopted to vote for him, but were prevented from so doing. The committee, however, reported unanimously in favor of Mr. Lever, and the House will probably adopt a new constitution two Afro-Americans made contests during this session, but neither was successful. The council of upper classmen of Howard University held it first annual reception at Odd Fellows' Hall Friday evening, Feb. 26. It is the face of the college, the former location between the advanced students of the university. The reception was a marked success. According to the last report of the commissioner of Education, there were 33 Afro-American students in the Illinois State Normal schools—twenty of whom were females. There was also one female student in a private normal school. With only forty years of freedom to our credit, the illiteracy of the Afro-American has decreased to about 44 per cent, while the percentage of African Americans in the University 61, Hungary 47, Servia 39, Romania 88, Portugal 79, Austria 35, and Italy 33. In this connection it is interesting to note the alleged movement in Southern industrial circles. It has been made to appear by the Washington Post that the large planters, who were fighting European or Asiatic immigration from the countries above mention, "because of" the "increasing worthlessness of Negro labor." It is also claimed that the Afro-American of the South is no longer industrious and frugal and that "some spirit of unrest and discontent has possessed him." Authenticated statistical information shows the Afro-American of the South to be both industrious and frugal. The thousands of planters in the southern state, the thousands of homes, the many business establishments and the increasing value of all taxable property which represents millions of dollars, is a most healthy sign of industry and frugal. But if the large planters and owners of these cities, they will and should have one. If the thrifty Germans or Scandinavians settle in the South, they and the industrious Afro-Americans would own soon the whole country, and if the illiterate Italians, Hungarians, Russians or Portuguese settle in very large numbers, the entire industrial population will have to be changed. Immigrants do not seek new countries for their health and under the new order of things the Amalgamated Association of Cotton Pickers, etc., would soon be doing business and demanding and getting wages now unheard or dreamed of by the submissive laborers of the South, and with the right, and with the change would come the industrial emancipation of Afro-Americans. Robert E. Winston, who, according to his relatives, was born in the year 1778, died at his home, 346 E street Baptist clergyman, and although he was never in charge of a church here, often held services at the different Baptist churches. He was the father of the two grandchildren, two grandchildren, while his great grandchildren number seventy-one, with four children in the fifth generation. His relatives claim that he was ill and did use stimulants moderately. A committee composed of Messrs. John C. Dancy, Rob H. Terrell, W. McKinlay, P. B. S. Pinchback, Chas. R. Douglas, F. Dr. J. Shadd and Rev. O. J. Scott are making the arrangements for the testimonial banquet to be given Dr. Booker T. Washington on the 17th inst. Mr. Sam's H. West of 116 New Jersey Ave, a well known Masonic veteran of high degree, departed this life Tuesday, the 23rd, as the result of paralysis. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell attended the Federation of Women's Clubs at Indianapolis. The officials of Wilberforce University are to be congratulated upon the success of their efforts in placing before Mr. Andrew Carnegie the great need of a library at that institution. The generous donation of $15,000 for that purpose will give Wilberforce a working library that will be of incalculable service to the teachers and students. Charles E. Hall Soldier's Addresses wanted. Henry N. Copp, attorney-at-law, Washington D. C. of the defense of named two American soldiers, who served in the Civil War; if dead their peers. Information will be paid for. Ministers of the gospel and secretaries of lodges, and others interested, will be present at the public announcement of the above list and posting it in conspicuous places. DADGER A FINE EXCAVATOR. As a Digger of Earth the Little Animal Takes High Rank. A writer on natural history has the following to say of badgers: "In hard winter weather the badger lies much in its earth, hibernating for long periods, much after the fashion of the bear, and sleeping, like that animal, with one paw in its mouth. At this season the beast closes up the mouth of its den and slumbers away its time for many days, and the badger it ventures forth again in search of food. In the business of digging the badger is one of the finest exponents in the world, making its way underground, even amid the greatest obstacles, with a strength, celerity and perseverance that are truly marvelous. I have always regarded the aardvark, the ant-eater of South Africa, as a king of the kingdom having been witness of some of his exploits; but the badger takes a very high place in the art of getting under ground." IMPRESSIVE, BUT NOT REAL. Speaker's Eloquence Was From the Head. Not the Heart. An Englishman relates the following election experience: "I was taking part in canvassing a constituency without a representative. I was announced as a speaker at a mass meeting held in a large field within shadow distance of a famous speaker. I made one of the most impressive speech I have ever heard. He spoke of the struggle of the poor, how they had to bear their burden. He made me almost cry by his eloquence. He talked about his own little home, which he only just managed to keep together by the sweat of browning. "Well, I asked my friend, the candidate, he is known in his own town as "Pshoph Dick," because he is a prosperous pawnbroker." Le Boi S'Amuse. When I draw the curtains I am kings the emperor and lord, And the ghosts At my bidding compass mountains, span the sea. When I draw the curtains I am king; Love is mine, old love that cannot die. And the years Shink away before its stainless majesty. Does me humble with a humble sweet accord. Ah! when I draw the curtains I am king. —H. H. Bashford. The Acquisition of Knowledge Properly Portioned Out. Edith Wharton writes: "The mechanical reader, as he always reads consciously, knows exactly how much he reads, and will tell you so with the pride of the careful housekeeper who has calculated to within half an ounce the daily consumption of food in her household. As the housekeeper is apt to go to market every day at a certain hour, so the mechanical reader has often a fixed time for laying in his intellectual stores; and not infrequently he reads for just so many hours a day. The statement in one of Hampton's youthful diaries, 'I shall now commence a course of poetical reading, beginning with fifty hours of reading, with gave him one and a half hours last, and then exactly for-eight and oneself,' is a good example of this kind of reading." 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. Congressman L. N. Littauer has been nominated in the Twenty-fifth New York district. In all probability the Republican president ticket of 1994 will read "Roosevelt and Palibanks." Senator Gallinger has introduced a bill increasing salary of president to $75,000; vice-president, $15,000; speaker, $12,000; members of cabinet, $15,000; senators and representatives, $8,000. 'Lieutenant Governor Harding formally declared Wednesday afternoon that General Charles Dick had been elected to the United States Senate for the short and long terms in the Senate. Dick was elected to the joint session of the legislature. The vote stood: Dick, 174, and John M. Clarke, 25. Bird and Man Flight No amount of study nor the carefulest anticipation of conditions that science can figure out take the place of the hereditary instinct that enables the bird to maintain its equilibrium at first flight. This is the principal reason why progress in aeronautics is so slow. Practically all the mechanical problems have been worked out over and over again, and the solutions tested in every way that science knows. But one equation remains to be solved and that is the human equation. By short and hazardous experimentary flights the inventors must learn what is lacking to complete their labors. About Women. A woman who marries a second time runs two risks; she may regret that she lost her first husband or that she did not always have the second one. But, in the first case, her second husband may regret her first husband even more than she does, and tell her so, too. The woman who looks amable and cheerful is naturally beautiful, far more so than a woman with irreproachable sculptural outlines and features so regular that she makes you wish she had some redeeming defect or other. Perfection was attractive in ancient Greece; it is not now.—Philadelphia Ledger. Scholastic Rabbits. A company of scholars going to together to catch rabbits had one scholar with them who had not much more wit than he was born with and him they cautioned to be silent if he saw any rabbits for fear of scaring them. But he saw a company of rabbits be fore the rest and cried out in Latin: "Behoid, many rabbits!" He had no sooner said this than the rabbits ran to their burrows. Being reproved by his companions for it, he answered: "Who the devil would have thought that the rabbits understood Latin?" The Voice of Experience "Not for me?" said the sharper when the guilleless countryman was pointed out to him; "never again for me. The man with the carpetbag lliks a mark, but the last one I tackled sold a coupon ticket for seventeen gallons of mineral water from a spring on his place and never took my gold brick. When you get down, you know he hands it a city man who thinks he knows it. You can do easier than you can the country man who knows he doesn't." June and December. Dear love, I do remember, Dear love, I do remember, With June's delight, and pale December Hath heaped her snows upon thee; The gentleness that won me, The gentleness that won me, The thou art the same As when I first beheld thee, And all the graces that impelled thee Have so exalted duty Have so exalted duty In perfectness of beauty. -Louise Morgan Sill in Harper's Week : Dances Sold by Austion A custom that has existed for several centuries is still maintained in some towns on the Lower Rhine. Early in the year—on auction day—the town crier or clerk calls all the young people together, and to the highest bidder sells the prizes of an auction, a prize of a prize, and on, during the entire year that follows. The fees flow into the public poor-box. The Secret of Success A countrywoman remarked to her neighbor during a conversation on their return from market. "How is it, Mary, that you have been married four times, and I've never been married at all, and I'm much handsome than you?" "Aye, to be sure," returned Mary, "but it ain't handsomeness that does it, Sarah; it's the 'come hither' in your eye." Badger Recained Freedom The sportsman naturalist, St. John, one day found a badger in a trap, not much injured. Tying a rope to ish leg, he drove the animal home—strange to say, the captive beast jogged steadily along in front of him and giving little more trouble than a pig going to market. On reaching home the animal was put for the night into a paved court, where it seemed to be running away. St. John, "he was gone, having displaced a stone that I thought him quite incapable of moving and then, digging under the wall he got away." "Light Lunch and Music." A country girl in Dublin went into an restaurant for her lunch. She was asked if she would have a meat dinner or "light lunch and music." Behind curious she chose the light lunch and the dinner, where she sat in a room where other inquisitive persons were eating soup and listening to a spirited if not satisfying performance upon the jewsharp by one of the waiters. She felt at the end of the meal that she had high enough complaint, but she could make 4 complaint. Cotter Hall.

JACKSON. to his dead partner and adopts his daughter, setting her brother adrift among a Swedish community in a sparsely settled portion of Minnesota. The boy grows up in ignorance of his birth. Times go on and Jennings takes a new partner, George Halloway. Halloway knows all about the patent transaction, and using it as a lever, forces Jennings into a land scheme, by the means of which he intends to swindle an English tourist. Jennings takes the Englishman to see the land, and there supposes that he has murdered him. Halloway accuses Jennings of the crime, but the Englishman turns up, and in the end marries Jennings' adopted daughter, and "Yon Yonson," the hero of the play, turns out to be her brother. There are three acts in the play, and the great scene, the "Log Jam," at the end of the second act, is said to be one of the best effects ever produced upon the stage. The management has given "Yon Yonson" a most excellent company, headed by Nels Erickson. A special feature of the piece is The Lumbermen's Imperial Comedy Four Quartette, one of the best singing quartets upon the stage.

Mr. Ross Clark, who is a candidate for the Republican nomination for Assemblyman, is a well known attorney of St. Paul. He has always taken an active interest in public affairs and in local politics; he is a speaker of much ability and for many years has been on the staff of Republican campaign speakers. He is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, of the Commercial Club and other public organizations. He is a firm and dedicated believer in the importance of man's deeds. Mr. Clark, though he has helped many others to get office, has only once before been a candidate for office; when he was a candidate before the primaries for the office of clerk of courts of Ramsey county.

He would terrorize the neighbors in a most outrageous way, broke the wide world's standing records in athletics every day; while in pugilistic circles he could wipe men in the dust, and show master tricks at fencing—laugh at every cut and thrust. He slew tigers in the jungle, and scaled redskins on the plain. He chased lions across the mountains and harpooned upon the main. He could break a bucking broncho, yes, and rope a Texan steer; sling a bowle knife or hatchet, throw the boomerang or spear. In hairbreadth escapes he gloried, did this worthy son of Mars.

W.M. LANAHAN & SON, Baltimore, Md. CURRENT COMMENT You don't always use strong language when another hangs upon your words. Spain might telegraph its sympathy. Chamberlain's son rises, as some would say, when Chamberlain's sun is setting. The Russian admiral has cabled home: "We have met the enemy and they are peaches." Radium punch and radium cocktails have arrived. Now for the radium 5-cent cigar! Russia wants to borrow $200,000,000. Most of us would be satisfied with a loan of half that sum. "Henry Seton Merriman" left a fortune of $260,000. Another of those poverty-stricken literary fellers! The new Baltimore doubtless will have an additional monument, to mark the spot where the fire started. The imports of foreign perfumes into this country are said to be increasing by a very large per cent. Whew! This would seem to be about the time for Kipling to tune up with a few polyglot stanzas of choice Anglo-Japanese. When a man's only salvation is a woman, he is generally pretty far gone on the road to destruction.—Town Topics. Sad, isn't it, to reflect that the translators of the St. James version of the Bible were so lamentably shy on "literary form." Bertillon has discovered a method for making the dead lifelike. He will be honored for inventing a plan to wake up some of the living. A writer in Harper's Weekly asks: "Does civilization shorten life?" What can we do about it, even if it does? We all want to be civilized, don't we? Nobody dares say "Look pleasant" to royal personages when they have their photographs taken; at least, nobody could have said it to the mikado. What worries some of the other powers now is the question whether if the Japs win this war there will be any living with them on that side of the globe. "After prolonged cheering by the banqueters the slogan was taken up by nearly all present." Attentive waiters had been around and filled up all the slogans. A gastronomic expert says "there are those who eat pour passer le temps." Odd, isn't it, that some of the high-toned restaurants have overlooked this dish? The St. Louis doctor who says whisky is good for consumptives might make more of a hit with his townsmen if he could say a good word for beer and plug tobacco. As another sign of stable financial conditions please note the enthusiasm with which each insurance company since the Baltimore fire has risen to shout, "Never touched me!" A Connecticut man has lost a fortune on a technicality. The only way in which he can get even is to go into the bribing and grafting business and then get off on another technicality. People of the District of Columbia are accused of loving dogs better than man, woman or child. Perhaps they can set up the claim that they do not love man, woman and child less, but dogs more. Young John D. Rockefeller says no man can fool his conscience. This no doubt is the truth, but the trouble is that some men have consciences which wouldn't be worth fooling even if it could be done. The author of "Mrs. Wiggs" has bought herself a $10,000 home in Louisville. That's rather modest. But perhaps the report that the lady's royalties have amounted to $400,000 are slightly exaggerated. When Rose, the Cleveland defaulter, found he was $20,000 short, he reasoned that he could make it up by going on speculating. So he speculated and speculated until he was $187,000 short. Why say more? Professional osculationists should bear in mind that attempted kissing without the consent of the kissee means $100 or thirty days in jail. The choiceest things in life naturally come high.—Des Moines Capital. The way to cure pneumonia is to have a cough and refrain from bathing, according to Dr. J. Dill Robertson, whose Indian name would be "The Man-Afraid-of-Water." Some may fancy that the cure is worse th n the disease. A British schoolboy is held responsible for the following comment in his school examination papers upon one of our national institutions: "In the United States people are put to death by elocution." Indeed, the boy spoke truer than he knew. There are no swear words in the Japanese language. The nearest one Jap can come to swearing at another is to call him a beast. After this probably when one of the mikado's subjects desires to be particularly abusive he will call the other fellow a bear. A recent novel says: "His keen gray eyes fell upon her finely chiseled lips and clear cut brow, while the blood springing to her cheeks showed how deep had been the wound which he had inflicted."
