The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3- Its correspondents are able and energetic. VOL. 29. NO. 12 SAVAGES IN SIBERIA KORJAKS LIVE IN ABSOLUTE LAWLESSNESS. Their Strength and Wealth Render Them Immune from Consequences of Their Misdeeds—Barbarous Acts That Are Common Among Them. In Russian Siberia lives a race of reindeer breeders called Korjaks. They then root of the nuts, the rickest and most haughty of the peoples of the cold north, have exceedingly violent tempers, and their strength and wealth make them headstrong and indifferent to consequences when they wish to revenge themselves on enemies. They have a terrible and strange method of doing this. In the winter, the Korjaks seal the small doorway into their huts with ice and earth and let it freeze solid. Then the only entrance and exit is the escape of smoke. Now, if a band of Korjaks feels itself injured in any way by another band, the avengers creep into a village at night and clamber softly on the roofs. There, with snow and hides they close up the smoke hole and seal it absolutely. As a result, if the occupants have not been awakened by the noise, they smother in their sleep. If they do wake up and put out the fire, there is no escape for them, for the moment they try to climb out through the roofs, the besiegers club them to death. One of the richest of the Korjaks thus killed one of his enemies, slaughtering the entire family, consisting of the father, three wives and two children. This man afterward made his deed a enebjet of his boasts, and was accustomed to tell the story at length with all the details. Nobody tried to punish him for it, because he was too powerful. He owns 8,000 reindeer and with this wealth he commands respect from all the headmen. These Korjaks live in great comfort, as compared with the other inhabitants of their bleak country. They are never in danger of famine, for their immense herds cannot be destroyed by even the feverest winter, so that, no matter how many thousands of reindeer may die, there will always be more than enough for food and for breeding. They have a queer way of hunting the wild reindeer. They chase these animals not-on land, but with canes in the water. The hunters wait until the herds begin to swim a river in the summer and then paddle among them and kill them with spears. $ ^{30} $ How We Measure Men.

It is commonly said that it is impossible to grow anything at the base of a tree, but a fine colony of wild flowers may be grown in such a position, where the plants bloom freely every year. The hepatica, one of our first spring wild flowers, is a plant of the woods, and the shade is congenial. These plants may be dug when they are in flower, so as to get the different colors wanted. In addition to the usual white, blue, pink and lavender varieties there are blue and pink ones with white margins. The fan-shaped "duble" sort it is very interesting to study the opening and closing of the blossoms with reference to the changes of wind and weather, especially if one has a barometer for comparison.

Instead of a horology swinging pendulum, the works look like cog wheels, which turn first to the right, then to the left, and so on. Gain in Export. The value of the exports of the whole country in 1903 was 68 per cent greater than in 1883, but the gain in New York was only 31 per cent, and the gain in London was 69 per cent, at Galveston 229 per cent and at Mobile 423 per cent. Suffrage in Austria. Adult suffrage was tried for the first time in the commonwealth of Australia in the federal elections held upon December 16, 1903. The total number of suffrage-seeking men was 700,000, of whom in round numbers 700,000 were women. Fad That Once Had Great Hold on Physicians' Faith. The Curies, according to an American resident of Paris, put small faith in the curative properties of drugs. To their little daughter when she is ill, medicine is rarely given. "The M. Curie," the American said, "laughs at the fads that selse upon physicians from time to time. He told me once about the tar-water fad—a thing that agitated France and England and Germany in the eighteenth century. "It seems that tar-water was suddenly declared to possess almost miraculous virtues. Doctors used it for them as radium now. "To one of the French medical societies a surgeon, noted usually for skepticism, wrote that tar-water was good in surgery. "A sailor broke his leg and applied to me for help, the surgeon's letter ran. "I bound together the broken portions, and washed them with the celebrated tar-water. Almost immediately the surgeon was relieved this remedy, and it was not long before the leg was completely healed." "This letter was highly applauded by the society, and resolutions were passed advocating tar-water for fractures. But the organization was pretty well disgusted at its next meeting when the surgeon, in another letter, said, "In my last communication I forgot to mention that the broken leg to which I referre, was a wooden one." HE MADE A CONVERT. Why Lady Condoned the Profane Man's Language. Al Sheehan was departing from the theater after a matinee during a spell when the streets were a glare of ice, with occasional patches of sand to keep one from slipping, and the wind was blowing keenly. At the corner of Boyston and Tremont streets a man ahead of him miscalculated the quality of the fistful of sand that had been put over the ice and came to the sidewalk of the theater. And he sat into of the latter, as he regained his shattered equilibrium and his jolted dignity, evidently not being a Bostonian, he exclaimed: "This is the blankety-blank-blankest spot on this blankety-blank town, blankety-blank it." Two women just from the theater were ahead of Mr. Sheeha, and he was undecided whether to remonstrate with the profane man or chuckle at the ludicrousness of the affair, when one of the ladies, reaching the same clutch at her companion being the only thing to save her from a bad toss. Then she said slowly: "I don't know but what that man is right."—Boston Journal. American Known by His French. When Judge Ashman of Philadelphia was last in Paris, he determined to try life in a pension. He had been told of a nice house, but had also been told that the hostess spoke very little English. Consequently, as he walked there from the hotel where he was temporarily stopping the judge carefully prepared a neat little speech of introduction, composed in what he presumed was classic French. He arrived, he rang the bell, the hostess appeared, and the judge began, "Je suis an American" (I am an American), and so down to a graceful close. The lady had listened politely to every syllable, and then she said in the purest of words, "You please tell me again just what sort of lodgings you are looking for?" "My own opinion is," adds the judge, as he tells the story, "that she doubted, from that ambitious effort of mine, whether I could talk any language so as to make myself understood."-Philadelphia Press.

One night the minister called and found them quarrelling as usual. In front of the fireplace lay a cat and a dog peacefully sleeping. "You should be ashamed of yourselves," he cried, indignantly; "even the dumb animals rebuke you." "Och," replied the Scotchman, "tie the cat and the dog together like me and my wife and see how you'll find them."—New York Times.

The submarine for the army is the latest proposed adjunct to our military coast defenses. Anomalous as this may seem, still, from the viewpoint of an especially appointed board of experts, there are many of the officers who have been present stationed. Just whether or not the navy will take kindly to this apparent trespass upon its hereditary preogatives is not for present discussion, but the fact remains that the army experts have been cunning enough to grasp the significant possibilities of a good thing and to place to their credit the official record of prior recognition. For months the coast defense command has been seeking recognition from the navy department, and on Jan. 12 the naval board of inspection 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 1.

The boy, who was visiting his indulgent nunt, had eaten heartily of the preserves. He thought you've had enough, willem," she asked. "An't any use thinking at all. I got to know. Thinking don't help any if you think wrong." "Well, you're the most remarkable boy I ever saw," said his aunt. "When will you know?" "In half an hour." "And will you know?" "Well, that's easy," replied the wise boy. "If I ain't sick in half an hour I will be sorry. I didn't take more, and if I am sick I will be sorry I took so much. That's the only way to tell that I know." His aunt admitted that it left no room for doubt, but she tried to point out that it was rather satisfactory, and he merely replied that he wished there was a better way, but he didn't know of any.

Maury, a son of Commodore Matthew Fontaine Maury of the Confederate navy, describes the manufacture by his father of torpedoes, which, he says, had their origin in Virginia, were designed in Richmond, and were first successfully used in the water of the James river. Commodore Maury's trial experiments to explode under water were made in a climate charges of powder submerged in an ordinary wash-tub in his chamber at the house of his cousin, Robert H. Maury, on Clay street, Richmond, and the tank for actual use, with the triggers for explosion and other mechanical appl- and survey . visited Newport, where the Protector has been since the middle of November last, to put the craft through an inspired schedule of competition with an "imaginary" submarine of a rhinoceros , on that date, prevented speed trials over the measured mule course, and the board, being a much engaged body, decided to abandon the tests until weeks later. The next day the bay was clear and so remained for five days following, but the board nad, turned southward. The army, however, was alive to the occasion, and just a week earlier, with the bay again full of ice, arrived at Newport and actually put the boat through a most convincing series of Inboard Profile of "Protector." MADE JIMMIE WALK HOME. "Cumpie" Sherman Presented Disloyalty to the Flag. When Gen. Sherman was a small boy one of his intimate playfellows was James G. Blaina. The two boys, together with Hoyt, a younger brother of the general, were out driving one day, when, as they passed a flag waving in the breeze, "Jimmie" Blaine placed a thumb on the tip of his nose and made a very disrespectful gesture toward the banner. "Did you mean to do at the flag?" demanded "Cumpie" Sherman, his loyalty outraged. "Yes, I did," declared Jimmie stoutly. "Well, if you do it again I'll put you out." Nothing more was said, and the drive proceeded enjoyably. On the way home the flag was passed again and again Jimmie Blaine put his thumb to the tip of his nose, and so forth. Cumpie reined in the horse, took the struggling Jimmie and gently but firmly lifted him out of the wagon. Then, in spite of Hoyt's remonstrance that that was not the proper way to treat a guest, he drove off leaving the horse to traverse the landscape as best he might—Lippincott's Magazine. Fine Sables for Bride. One of the most unique gifts ever received by a bride-to-be, says the London Express, is the sables which Baron de Forest has given Miss Ethel Gerard. They are of wonderful softness and are black as coal, without any suggestion of brown. They are said to be the finest in England. ances for service was made by Talbott & Son, on Cary Street. "In the early summer of 1861," says Col. Maury, "the Secretary of the Navy and the Chairman of the Naval Committee of Congress and others were invited to witness an explosion in James river at Rocketsie. The torpedo shell, a key leg of waterweight to sink, fitted with a trigger to explode by percussion to be fired, when in place, by a lanyard. The Patrick Henry gig was borrowed; Capt. Maury (as he then was) and the writer got aboard with the torpedo, and were rowed to the middle of the channel just opposite where the wharf of the James River Steamboat tests. The result of that day's work was a report that recommends the immediate purchase of five submarines of the Lake pattern; and this recommendation is now receiving the serious consideration of the military general staff. Standing as the last bulwark against a possible foe are the submarine defenses of our seaports. These are intended to effectually stop such of the enemy's craft as may be able to escape destruction by our gunfire. They are planted in the fields, so to speak, i.e. in symmetrically disposed groups, and so arranged that it would be well-nigh impossible for a hostile ship to pass them if the mines were in proper working order—Robert G.

How He Once Prepared Coffee for a Guest with His Own Hands. One morning early, a friend of mine, a Venetian nobleman, called on him, Mgr. Sarto had said mass and settled down to work. His sisters had gone out to mass, or for the household marketing, which they were doing at the Rialto on Aug. 4, 1903, the day of wonders in their simple life. "Has the count taken coffee?" asked the bishop. "Well, to tell the truth, no, because the business was urgent, and I have come straight from the railway station," the guest replied. No excuse availed, and Mgr. Sarto rose and went into the kitchen. So the bishop of ducal Mantua and his guest might have been seen there talking and laughing, with monsignor coaxed the charcoal with a black kitchen fan, the coffee fizzed in a tin pot on the range, and the count got out cups and saucers, in order to save his distinguished host, who mental had taken over, when he had coffee together at the kitchen table — From William J.

WHERE BEARS ARE PLENTIFUL Hunters Can Secure Famous Spot Up in Alaska. Senator Foster of Washington state has received a Macedonian cry for help from the ravages of the big bears in Alaska, says the Washington Post. I President Roosevelt ever again wants a glorious hunt for bruin, Mr. Foster is willing to pilot him to the grounds where great game is plentiful. He will go to Alaska to weigh from 1,500 to 1,800 pounds. A recent letter in Mr. Foster's mail from Seattle tells the story: "We shipped 300 head of cattle and 9,100 breeding ewet to Kodiac, Alaska last spring," writes a firm of packers from that city. "The bears have been getting into the bunch and have killed 503 to date. During the mix-up about twelve bears were slain. About thirty days ago two bears got into the sheep and after killing two-one sheep and tearing the coat off one male bears were killed. The United States government this had all our men arrested for killing the bears. Five of our men were compelled to stand trial at considerable expense to us. "The bears are very numerous on the island," concludes this letter, "and since they have tasted sheep the sheep are badly scared and are continually piling up. Unless something is done with the bears they will put us out of business." Senator Foster is puzzled as to just how he can help his constituents in the court. They are bounty of at least $5 a head should be placed on bears for a year or two in order to clean them out." THE "OLD MAID" OF INDIA. Regarded as a Holy Being and Held in High Honors "No institution of Inoa has been so exaggerated as that of the widow," says Edmund Russell in Everybody's Magazine. "She really occupies a place analogous to our antique 'old maid', now so fast disappearing in the girl bachelor. The aged widow who has remained true to her principles is regarded as a holy being who has withstood a thousand temptations and persecutions, and commands the respect of a saint from all persons. She is the mother of all the children in the neighborhood, the helpmate of all the neighbors. At evening they flock round to hear her repeat the ancient stories of Sita and Saiyajan, Draupadha, Duraapala, Mrnu Bat." She is in great dourn when cooking is needed for a sacred feast. She teaches the little ones their first hymns and prayers. She nurses the sick, comforts the dying. "She believes herself to be bound to her husband for everlasting time, through all births and deaths. The momentary separation here is but one shade of her marriage, an unknowable mystery of destiny—it breaks no tie." I Eain Would Linger Yet A little while (my life is almost set) I will pause along the down ward, word, word. Musing an hour in this sad sunset ray, While, Sweet! our eyes with tender tears A little hour I fain would linger yet. A little while I fain would linger yet, A little while I make, for love that cannot: the Turtle you bade be dead, with youth's desire. And hope has faded to a vague regret, A little while I fain would linger yet. A little while I still would clasp thee, Sweet; A little while, when night and twilight meet. A little while Iain would linger here; Behold! who knows what soul-dividing Earth's faithful loves may part in other nars? Not only do love deem the death of death is fair: A little while I still would linger here. Prairie Press. Elephant Drive in Siam. A royal elephant drive in Siam, in which trained elephants are used to capture wild ones, is the subject of an article in Harper's Magazine by Allan H. Burgoyne. Mr. Burgoyne was invited to the "drive" by the crown prince of Siam, who he knew at Oxford, and therefore had every advantage in seeing the amazing and even horrifying spectacle. The drive lasted three days, in the course of which several men were killed by the fury of the wild elephants. In addition to the men killed, the elephants in unming ones as well. The finest elephant corps in the world is possessed by the Siamese army, and these drives were instituted in order to capture the best of the wild herds, and keep this crack corps of trained elephants up to the mark.

By Nebo's lonely mountain, On this side of Jordan's wave, On the other side of Jordan's wave, There lies a lonely grave, And no man dug that sepulchre, It was a lonely grave, For the angel of God upturned the sod And laid the dead man there. That was the grandest funeral That ever passed on earth, And the crumson streak of the trapping Or saw the trach go forth; Nolessly as the daylight, Comes on the night of the done, And the crumson streak on the ocean's check Grows into the great sun. Nolessly as the springtime, Her crown of verdure weaves, And all the trees on all the hills Open their mouths to the sea, So wide sound of music, Or voice of them that wept, Silently down the mountain crown The procession sweeps.

Alexander SOME DOUBT ABOUT THE SPOOK. Widow Not Sure the Spirit She Kissed Was Her Husband's. Scientists say that the hair and nails grow after death. Some theory of that sort is needed to explain the dawd of a widow at a spiritual- sacre. "No," said the little widow, emph- atically. "I will never attend another dark seance." "Why not?" asked her friend. "Didn't you have any acquaintances among the spooks?" In doubt about the materiali- zations. "Not distinct enough?" "Well, it was this way: The medium said my husband was there, and wanted to speak to me. It was too dark to see him plainly, but I thought I recognized the outlines of Jim, and I kissed him." "Was it Jim?" "That's what I would like to know." "What makes you doubt it?" "What makes you doubt it?" "The spook had a lovely musician." "Oh!" "Jim never had one." And the little widow looked thoughtful.—Spare Moments. Pope Plus Has Sense of Humor. Rome has discovered that Pope Plus has an abundant sense of humor. Recently the vatican architect, Constantine Schneider, had occasion to see the pope in order to submit some plans. As he was retiring Plus X smilingly said: "Mr. Schneider, do you know that we are related?" The architect was astonished, but Plus X added: "Well, Schneider in German signifies just what Sarto means in Italian tattoo; therefore, we must come from the same family." Once once the pope had joked on his family name when, remarking that the church in Italy was much rent by dissensions, he added: "However, I am a good tailor and I mean to repair the damage very quickly."

HE SAID THAT A BA POSITION WHEN THE NINTH AND TENTH CAVALRY CAME RUSHING UP THE HILL, CARRYING EVERYTHING BEFORE THEM. THE NEGRO SOLDIER HAS THE FACULTY OF COMING TO THE FRONT WHILE THE NEGRO SOLDIER IS IN THE CIVIL WAR HE CAME 400,000 STRONG, AND I BELIEVE HE SAVED THE UNION."—President Roosevelt. SATURDAY MARCH 19, 1904. NATIONAL CONVENTION. The date for holding the next National Republican Convention, June 21, at Chicago, is the latest of any convention it will be the thirteenth National Republican convention, which fact will give the superstitious something to talk about. Other Republican conventions have been held as follows: Philadelphia, June 17, 1865—Nominees, Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, and Hanham Malin, of Maine, 1865—Nominees, William L. Dayton, of New Jersey, Chicago, May 16, 1860—Nominees, Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, and Hanham Malin, of Maine, 1864—Nominees, Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, and Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, Chicago, May 20, 1863—Nominees, Ulysses S. Grant, of Illinois, and Schuster Joffax, of Indiana, 1862—Nominees, Ulysses S. Grant, of Illinois, and Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts, Cincinnati, June 14, 1876—Nominees, R. B. Hayes, of Ohio, and William A. Wheeler, of New York, 1876—Nominees, James A. Garfield, of Ohio, and Chester A. Arthur, of New York. Chicago, June 1. S. 1884—Nominees. Jane A.

Philadelphia, June 19, 1900—Nomine- sion, in Indiana, 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 John A. McCormick, a honorary to Maine. New York is now by beigy such a distinction, when Mr. Roosevelt is nominated next June. THE LORD OF THE RING BISHOP W. B. DERRICK. Bishop of the A. M. E. Church. 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 students. The suit has been to the appellate and supreme courts a number of times, and has been reversed and remanded upon various points each time. An appeal has been 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 fight, how much will you give, Kind reader? VARDAMAN'S VETO Governor Vardaman of Mississippi has sent to the legislature his veto of the bill appropriating $2,200 for the support of the Holly Springs Normal School, an Afro-American institution. In his veto message the governor and senator said that education is a bad thing for the Afro-American and spolls him as a cotton picker, Vardaman claims that God intended that the black man should occupy an inferior position in society, and to educate him to fly into the face of the Afro-American. Vardaman does not inform us when and where he received his revelation from above. If we are to judge by brutal language used by him during his campaign, he has not been in communication with God, but get his "revelations" from Hades. "Ye gods and little fishes!" The gall of some men passeth understanding. Ex-Lieut. Gov. James H. Tillman, recently acquired of murder for killing Editor N. G. Gonzales at Columbia, S. C., has announced his candidacy of Congressman G. W. Croft of North Carolina. He's a nice man to send to congress. According to the United States Census reports for 1900, there are in South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina and Virginia who are Afro-American who can read and write, yet $35,000 of these are disfranchised by the understanding clause of the constitutions of the states named. For some time Hearst, of the American Journal-Examiner was fair in his treatment of the Afro-American. Now that he is a candidate for the Democrat presidential nomination, the says that the South should be left to settle the race question to suit herself. Thank God, Hearst will never be president. Governor Vardaman, true to the principle upon which he was elected has vetoed the bill appropriating $2,200 for the support of the Holly Springs, Illinois, normal school, which is Afro-American institution. A stiff fight will be made to pass the bill over the governor's veto. The Russians discriminate against the Jewish doctors who go to the front. They receive only 900 roubles traveling expenses, whereas Christians get 250. Jews whose presence tolerated outside the nation are forced to contribute to Red Cross naval and other funds. It is pleasing to note that at Springfield, Ohio, last Sunday the recent riots were the burden of sermons of nearly all of the ministers. Unsparing denunciation of the acts of the mob and criticism of the city and county officials were meted out. A special grand jury has been called at Springfield, Ohio, to investigate the riot there last week. Judge J. K. Knowles, of the Moroccan charge, and if the riot does its duty bills will be found against the funds who composed the mob. The Afro-American of the country have a very tender spot in their hearts for Cardinal Gibbons for his strong stand against the "Jim Crow" car law and Attendance measures recently adopted in Maryland. An Afro-American has been lynched at Saucier, Mississippi, for attempted murder. The Job was done before Vardaman had time to give his spectacular special train performance. Santo Domingo will never serve as a place of refuge for the oppressed man of the city, out of them would be like immping out of the frying pan into the fire. 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, March 17.—According to the last census report, the total population of Springfield is 23,997 are whites, native and foreign-born; 4,233, or 11.1 per cent, are Afro-Americans and 3 are Mongolians. The city is almost purely American—in fact, the foreign element, to whom is usually given the blame by native Americans for all crimes against law and order in our Northern states, constitutes but 3,311 persons, or only about 8.7 per cent of the total population of the disgraced city. We have no grief for the worthless wretch who committed the crime that brought about such disorder and wanton destruction of property, and we have but condemnation for the murders that took place too well the cowardice of the officers of the law, but when we see the cancer lynch law eat into the hearts of American citizens, black and white alike, North and South, East and West, we fear that there is something radically wrong in the United States. Never mind Russia, Santo Domingo, China or Africa, but purge America, should be the cry. The government of Liberia, Africa, has not yet reached that stage of development or importance among the nations of the world where it is justified in sending envoys and minister counties as its missionaries. The United States is represented in Liberia by a minister resident and consul general, Hon. A. P. Camphor. There are three consuls appointed by the Liberian government to look after their interests in the country. Hon. H. M. of Atlanta, Ga., who has jurisdiction for the Southern states and District of Columbia; Mr. Ray S. Paffold, of San Francisco, Cal., and Mr. George W. Lovejoy, of Mobile, Ala. Of course, the diplomatic corps of the diplomatic corps and have no place nor part in the great social functions given at the nation's capital. There are, however, many dark skinned foreigners belonging to the different legations, but possibly the only one who could claim the distinction, and whose veins is Mr. J. N. Leger, the envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of Haiti. Mr. Leger ranks socially and otherwise with the other members of the diplomatic corps. Mr. Richard T. Greener, a well known diplomat, the United States as commercial agent at Vladivostock, Siberia, states that, according to a Chinese paper, the last census taken in China by imperial order, in view of reassessing taxes, show that the total number of inhabitants to 48,000 souls is 8,500,000 souls are inhabitants of the disputed territory of Manchuria. Rear Admiral Walker, president of the Isthmian Canal Commission, is of the opinion that between 80,000 and 40,000 laborers will be required for the work on the Panama waterway. The president said, would be the blacks from Jamaica, as they were acclimated and could endure the hardships better than any other class. But there are not enough of them, he said, to push the United States intends to carry it and it is expected that some Afro-American labor might be gotten from the Southern states. The building of this great canal will undoubtedly attract hundreds of Afro-American laborers and many of them will be able to carry it if they can endure the hardships. Certain Southern newspapers have recently said that the wealthy planters, land owners, etc., were tired of Afro-American labor and were making a claim that they will bear more about this phase of the question when the Afro-American laborers begin to leave the South. Mr. Frank A. Byron gave a "stag" in honor of Mr. Robert P. Johnson of Chicago Friday evening. The guests included Messrs. J. Harry Harris, Wm. L. Hawkins and Chas. E. Hall. Bettel Literary continues to be the Mecca of the literati of the capital. Under the able management of President George W. Jackson, of Ohio, it has lost none of its pristine glory. Its session of March 8th was one of its greatest achievements, greeted Prof. L. M. Hershaw, of Georgia, who treated in a masterly manner the subject, "From Dred Scott to Jackson W. Giles." It was shown that our rights as citizens have been gradually denied by states and sanctioned in several cases by the supreme court, until we are almost back to the same state. The case of Taney delivered his famous decision reciting, among other things, that the Negroes, both free and slave, were "belongs of an inferior order" and had no rights that a white man is bound to respect. Prof. Hershaw appealed to the Supreme Court, which means to create a public sentiment in our favor, and especially to urge their friends throughout the country to petition congress to pass the Morrell bill, which is directed against railroad discriminations. The paper was ably supported by the Senate and Dept. Prof. J. W. Cromwell, W. H. Richards and invites. Rev. Brooks made an eloquent plea to have the paper printed and circulated generally. The Democratic law makers of Maryland did not let the great Baltimore disaster interfere very much with their determination to disfranchise the Afro-Americans of that state. The Senate passed the House on March 10th in identically the shape it passed the Senate, and although it contains a referendum clause, there is not much hope that the people will vote the amendment soon upon which the Democrats issue it upon which the Democrats won their victory in the last campaign. Not only are the illiterate males disfranchised but also all persons and the male lineal descendants of such persons who on the first day of January, 1869, on the same day, were unable to vote. That takes about all. Now that this question has been practically settled, the "Jim Crow" bill will be taken up with renewed vigor. It has already reached its third reading in the Senate and the passage of the bill has been recently bons recently wrote a very strong letter of disapproval in which he said: "Peace and harmony can never exist where there is unjust discrimination. To make sure that the whole race suffer for the delinquencies of a few individuals." But it's no use. Those who could prevent our being "Jim Crowed" and distrusted are apparently in danger of being sent a case of being between the "devil and the deep blue sea." If the Democrats can fix one or two more states like they have Maryland, a Republican majority in congress will soon be a thing of the past. Cras, E. Hall. BISHOP DERRICK'S APPEAL Longs for Africa Now—"This Is No Country for Afro-Americans." Bishop William Benjamin Derrick, who has been the presiding Bishop of the New York diocese of the African Methodist Episcopal Church for four years, says that he is now tired of America and that he years for Africa. He spoke recently to members of the African Academy at the Bridge Street Church. He said in part: "I will shortly have to take up my bed and walk, and I am here to pay you my last visit. I believe that across the seas there is a wider and better work for me. Every many Afro-American stands for the weight of the earth to bear in this country and must grieve over the conditions that confront his race here. Two hundred thousand Afro-Americanists stood up against the enemies of this country who had taken the nation by the throat and tried to crush it to death. It was the Afro-American, that tore the hands of seduction and the throat of the enemy, years ago, stood ankle deep in blood in the fight between the Merrimac and Monitor, and the blood of my comrades flew upon me when they were slaughtered in the defense of this nation, and yet it, although we fought to save the American flag, declares that they are not citizen of this country no longer. We cannot feel feeling bad over the situation. This is no country for us. "I do not advocate retaliation; but we should stand up manfully and protest and appeal to the few friends that we have left to see to it that we get justice for them." I will not tell you to retaliate, for that would be advising you to be brutes. I would be promoting the brutality of the whites. We are human beings with souls. The pulps must be aroused in this matter and we should through our pulps make a manly demand for justice from those who are just. But we cannot win by advocating peace. We cannot walk upon the battle ground in the Afro-Americans show this spirit the white man says that he. he is a coward. The manly man strikes back when struck. No man will use of the cowardness. We will always stood upon the battle ground in the fight for God, church and race. We demand manhood rights, not black manhood nor white manhood. There is no black fatherhood nor white fatherhood, for God is a spirit and we are all one in the world. I do not only contend for the political rights of the Afro-American, but I contend for his civil, social and manhood rights. I do not ask for social equality, but for our own selections as to taste and fitness of things. I want everything that any other man can have. Dorrick announced to the ministers, that his recent visit to London to gain the permission for his ministers to work in the Transvaal was highly successful.

The Politicians and Their Doings in the Country, State and City. Although the Campaign is a Long Way Off, the Pot Begins to Boll. Secretary Taft will address the Hamilton Club of Chicago on April 9. The Republican state convention of Rhode Island to elect national delegates will be held at Providence April 26. J. Fred Rhodes, editor of the Eldorado News, has been nominated for Congress by Republicans of the Sixth Missouri district. The First Congressional District Republican Convention held at Greenwell's administration and Congressman Brownlow. The official call has been issued for the state Republican convention of Utah to be held April 8 in Salt Lake City, when delegates will be chosen for the national convention. There will be seats for only 275 correspondents at Republican National Convention at Chicago, owing to lack space. So at least Harry S. New, chairman of the sub-subcommittee. The Republican convention of the Twelfth Congressional district of Ohio chose E. R. Randall and B. C. Burr delegates to the National Convention and indorsed President Roosevelt. The Creek nation Republican convention was held at Okmulgue, I. T., and Judge C. W. Raymond was selected as delegate of the National Republican convention in Chicago. President Roosevelt, was indorsed. . . . At the regular monthly meeting of the Afro-American Republican Club of the city of New York, President Charles W. Anderson offered resolutions indorsing President Roosevelt, which were unanimously adopted. Harry S. New now has a clear field in his race for Republican national committee from Indiana, Charles Henry having withdrawn from the contest. Mr. Henry will enter the race for the senatorial provided Senator Fairbanks accepts the nomination for the presidency, which now seems probable. Elmer Dover, the new secretary of the Republican National Committee, is only 30. At the age of 16 he was editor and manager of the local paper at McConnellsville, Ohio, where he was a teacher. He also experienced paper experience in small cities when he became acquainted with the late lamented Mr. Hanna in the first McKinley campaign of 1888. Mr. Dover's likeness to Mr. McKinley has been frequently remarked. His devotion to Mr. Hanna was one of the many bright spots in Senator Hanna's career. SEES END OF RACE PROBLEM Bishop Gaines Prejudice Will Disappear as Afro-American Bishop W. J. Gaines of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, in a sermon at the reopening of Quinn Chapel, Chicago, Sunday morning, declared that race prejudice in America was passing away and would wholly disappear with the advance in knowledge and treatment of the Afro-American. The book, "Afro-American Knowledge and the light of education and learning is shining in upon our people," Bishop Gaines said. "Music, art, literature and learning are rapidly coming to be understood and appropriated by us, and the day is not over." The book will culture the Afro-Americans will challenge the admiration of mankind. "Along the lines of political and social elevation our troubles have been great and our difficulties have been many and formidable. In our blindness and inexperience in our first years of freedom we have had to suffer that may have been guilty with our white friends of cherishing too much race prejudice and race hatred, and thus we may have been partly to blame for the race antagonisms that have often resulted in cruelty and bloodshed. At any rate, we must be brave and candid enough to acknowledge that this prejudice is being imposed of this prejudice is passing away. Improving conditions are generating a better understanding." Soldiers' Addresses Wanted Henry N. Copp, attorney-at-law, Washington, D. C, wants the addresses of below named Afro-American soldiers, who served in the Civil War; if dead, their heirs.

H. Dillingham, J. W. Luca, Eighth ward.

"FOR HER CHILDREN'S SAKE." There is a widespread interest manifested in the attraction at the Grand next week, when one of the latest Sultan, Harris & Wood's successes from the pen of Theodore Kremer, entitled "For Her Children's Sake," will be the company that the company and the Fatal Wetland dramatic success bears a striking resemblance to its predecessor. It runs the gamut of emotions, from grave to gay, and is a winner so far as strength and originality are concerned. It is not a copy of the Fatal Wetland, but a unique original dramatic offering. The intricate plot with a strong counter plot, cannot be told in a few words, and A CHILD'S VENGEANCE only by seeing it acted can its beauty and symmetry be justly appreciated. A large company of men and women of established theatrical reputation will present the play and the scenic effects have been planned and executed on an unusually elaborate scale.

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—at least in the rain. He slew tigers in the jungle, and scalped 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 ansteer; a bowie knife or hatchet, throw the boomerang or spear. in hairbreadth escapes he gloried, did this worthy of Mars.

Gallagher managed to roll both the woman and himself onto the opposite track, and the car was locked out without inflicting any injury on either. AFRO-AMERICAN JUDGES. A Good Thing for Republicans if the Following is True. The following appeared in The Dispatch on Monday, the day after the first registration day, and the primary election day: "Sharp drawing of the color line is reported to have caused the loss of a number of votes yesterday in precincts where there were colored judges. In the Third precinct of the Eighth ward and in the Eleventh precinct of the Fourth ward a number of voters, it is said, resented the order of the colored judge on duty to be sworn, and walked out without voting." “Since it goes without saying that no genuine good Republican could, would or should have any objection to any Afro-American or to a man of any other class or nationality, solely on the ground of color, class or nationality, provided he is a good, genuine Republican, the objections raised as alleged must have been made by Democrats; therefore, it will be a good thing if the Republicans will see to it that there are Afro-Americans as judges in as many precincts as possible they will make good scare crows to keep Democrats from registering and voting and thus help themselves greatly. Evidently the fool-killer of St. Paul is off on a vacation. BASE BALL BOOM. The St. Paul Amateur Baseball Association Formed.

This part of the church has been closed for several weeks while the decorators have been busy with palette and brush in the endeavor to give Quinn Chapel the most artistically decorated audience room of any church in the city. How well they succeeded in their undertaking was clearly manifest last Sabbath when the doors were thrown open and a vast throng of worshippers pressed in and gave unstinted expression to their delight and satisfaction. Lecture rooms, reading rooms, hallways, parlors and study as well as the mammoth auditorium, which seats two thousand people, have all been actually transformed by the splendid workmanship of Mr. Proctor Chisholm, one of the members of Quinn Chapel. We would like to attempt a description of the walls, ceiling and dome, but words cannot describe the beautiful effect and perfect blending of the colors. It must be seen to be appreciated properly. Too much credit cannot be given the earnest, energetic and faithful pastor, Dr. A. J. Carey, for the excellent condition in which Quinn Chapel now finds herself. Five years ago, when he took charge of this church, no one scarcely dared to hope that it could be saved. Overwhelmed with debt, threatened by impatient creditors, menaced by judgments and mortgages past due, and with a desire to courage and the future of Quinn Chapel indeed seemed dark. But Dr. Carey, young—for then he was barely 30—courageous and determined, took hold with a zeal that stimulated and put new life into his congregation. He quickly saw that his members in their poverty could not meet the pressing obligations alone. He therefore went out and succeeded in interesting white friends some of whom gave him as much as $500, some even more than that, and many as much as $100. He said that but for the help which Dr. Carey secured from white friends, Quinn would have been sold by the sheriff and lost to the A. M. E. connection and the race. Approximately $20,000 have been paid on the debt since Dr. Carey's coming. Many repairs have been made, electric lights have been installed at a cost of $25. A hydraulic power plant which cost $500 now operates the organ. More than $10,000 have been paid on the interest on the debts. All operating expenses have been regularly met and improvements paid for as fast made. Nearly $60,000 has been paid for all purposes during Dr. Carey's administration, and all this has been so wisely economically applied and so dollar so clearly accounted for that the members of Quinn Chapel feel that they can never dispense with the services of their present pastor. Bishop W. J. Gaines, D. D., of Atlanta, Ga, preached the opening sermon last Sabbath. His text was "The Lord will provide." His sermon was richly enjoyed by all. Dr. H. J. Johnson, editor Christian Recorder, Philadelphia, preached the evening sermon. He, too, gave an inspiring and beautiful discourse. Mrs. Marion Adams Harris now has charge of the choir, and delightful music is being furnished. Badger Regained Freedom. The sportsman naturalist, St. John, one day found a badger in a trap, not much injured. Trying a rope to ish leg, he drove the animal home—strange to say, the captive beast jogged steadily along in front of him and giving little more trouble than a pig going to market. On reaching home the animal was put for the night into a paved court, where it seemed perfectly secure. "Next morning," says St. John, "he was gone, having displaced a stone that I thought him quite incapable of moving and them, digging under the wall he got away." "Light Lunch and Music." A country girl in Dublin went into a restaurant for her, lunch. She was asked if she would have a meat dinner or "light lunch and music." Being curious she chose the light lunch and music and was immediately shown into a room where other inquisitive persons were eating soup and listening to a spirited not satisfying performance upon the jewsharp by one of the waiters. She felt at the end of the meal that she had paid high enough for curiosity, but she could make no surprise. --- 六 七 八 九 QUINN CHAPEL. "We deliver when and what we promise."
