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. 20. NO. 15 Good Hit Was Waste Good Hit Was Wasted Queer situations come to pass now and then in baseball which puzzle players, umpire and spectators alike for the moment and one of the queerest happened in the Eastern League in a game between Providence and Broton. Tommy Bannon, one of those base runners inclined to do the unexpected on the bases, was at the ball for Broton wrestling. Player of the game was on second base. Bannon cut loose with all his might at a straight ball, and the next instant the leather was shredding in line fight toward center field. The center fielder was seen to put up his hands for the ball, which was going straight at him. The sun was in the center fielder's eyes and he slightly misjudged the ball, which sailed just over his head. But as he had his hands all set for the whizzing pellet, some thought he had caught the ball. Bannon saw that the ball had not been caught and with heat it were around the bases, lifting up close to the dugout. He was reposing on this base by the time the ball was fielded in. The captain of the Providence team, The Speed The Speed of Storks No living thing, not even a scared jack-rabbit, can travel with the speed displayed by such birds as the storks and the northern bluethorn. Not only do these birds fly with a speed which can hardly be conceived, but they keep up their rapid flight for one or two thousand miles at a stretch without apparently tiring. Evidence has been collected recently which shows that the bluethroat files from Central Africa to the shores of the North Sea, a distance of 1,600 miles, in less than a day and a night, and making it, moreover, in one uninterrupted flight. The storks, which spend their summers in Austria-Hungary and their winters in India and Central Africa, are among the precious travelers, and make their journeys twice a year in one unbroken flight each time. From Budapest in Hungary, to Lahore in India, in about 2,400 miles in an airline, and the storks make the airway in twenty-four hours, thus traveling at the rate of 100 miles an hour for the whole distance.

Representative William Sulzer of New York was standing in the member's lobby in rapt contemplation of the oil portraits of former speakers. Speaker Cannon came along. "Hello, William," he said. "How are you, Uncle Joe?" Sulzer offereded, "Uncle Joe, you are the best man in the room." "I am glad you think so, William," Cannon replied, without the quiver of an eyelash. "Yes, sir, you are also the smartest and the shrewdest and the kindest and most successful man I ever knew." "Well," observed Cannon, "it has taken you a long time to find that out, William; but I am glad you have "Furthermore, Uncle Joe," continued Sulzer, "you are the best man I ever knew.

I often wonder when I sit in as soon as things had quieted down a bit, ran up to Umpire Hunt, meantime getting the ball and tagging Bannon, and made the claim that Bannon was out. "No, that don't go," exclaimed the umpire. "Bannon touched all the bases all right." The Providence captain, reiterated his contention, and again Hunt declared the man safe. "But, protested the Providence man," who is Flaherty doing on second base? The umpire looked, and, sure enough there was Flaherty on second base, and the man who had batted after him a base ahead of him—absurd situation. Flaherty had thought the ball was caught, and had stuck to his base, and Bannon, without noticing him, in the excitement, had run past him. There was nothing for the umpire to do but call Bannon out. The next time on bannon came to bat there was nobody on base, and a bleacher sang in out in ear-splitting tones the following timely advice: "Now, then, Tommy, so saintly, like that." of Storks Central Europe and the winter in Central Africa travel with the same rapidity. Glatin Pasha, an Austrian in the service of the Khedive, and now governor of the Central African province of Darur, was for many years a captive in the hands of the Mahdi and the Khalifa when the dervishes killed Gordon and established their empire, now overthrown, in the Soudan. One day, at Omdurman, he saw a stork with a metal band attached to one of its hind legs. He caught the bird and found engraved upon the band the name of an old friend in Austria. He wrote a note to his friend and tied it to the metal band. When the stork returned to Austria for the summer the friend saw the letter, caught the stork and read the message, which was the first certain assurance that the outside world received that Slatin was still alive. This stork, as proved by the dates, made the journey from Omdurman to the Austrian country place, a distance of nearly 3,000 miles, at a speed of more than 100 miles an hour. v the Name den it thought struck her. "Have you any uncalled for letters?" she asked. "Oh, yes; yes, indeed!" said the postmaster, pompously; "but they ain't any of 'em yourn." Then he launched into a little discourse on uncalled for letters and concluded with, "I have a letter a week before it is called for. I've got one now I've had for two weeks, and there ain't nobody asked for it. As near as I can make out, it's addressed to Millie Devil." "It's mine," declared Mlle.

SPADE AS MIGHTY AS THE RIFLE If at this moment one could wander at large over the Russian position above the Yalu river, there would doubtless be astonishing evidence on all sides of the power of the spade in defensive works. Entrenchments would be everywhere. In modern warfare the spade is as mighty as the rifle, and we be to the point that we cannot handle both with equal ease. It is because of the effectiveness of channel, and because of the long A Gun A Gun Blindage. range of the small caliber military rifle, that entrenchments in some form or other are absolutely essential to troops in the open.

A tree, or a tree of hardwood, st of its leaves and with all its br The absolute necessity for the spade on the field of battle was first clearly demonstrated in the Russo-Turkish war, when modern rifles were brought into play. So great, indeed, was the necessity that the Russian general, Skobolev, provided every man in his command with a spade, and when his men reached the outskirts of Constantinople it was found that they had discarded every article except their spades, belts and rifles. They had learned a bitter and an unexpected lesson. Their the entrenchments of Pleven they discovered to their cost the havec that could be created by determined men with plenty of ammunition behind earthworks. The Turks had used their spades with a right good will, and in addition to their fighting trenches, had erected bombproof works that were afterward the admiration of the world. At Plerva-the Turks lived entirely within their bombpounds during the bombardment by the heavy artillery, and when the assaulting columns pushed to the front the Turks sailed out and, lining their fighting trenches, drove the Russians back with terrible slaughter. The spade made their earthworks impregnable, but starvation eventually undid what the spade had done. Bombpounds are usually made of logs placed against the side of a hill or embankment, and the whole covered with earth-turf and sand for preference. Bombpounds can also be made by simply tunneling into the side of a hill, the idea of a bombpound being propelled shrapnel shell. These shrapnel shell, filled with innumerable bullets, burst, as a rule, some 30 yards short of the enemy's position and above it. The small shot, together with the steel fillets, etc., are hurled on the top of the defenders in the open shelter trenches, searching the cavity from end to end.

Thry ye a koins worrd on th' driver, if ye plase." The stern face of Mr. Bergh relaxes The greatest care is taken in concealing those trenches from the enemy, the earth thrown up in front for a parapet being cunningly screened by leaves, brushwood, grass or anything but the color of the ground in the vicinity to prevent detection. A parapet thus screened is of the most service to the marksmans. Another effective method used by crack shots is a rifle pit. This is simply a large circular hole, with the loose earth thrown up around concealed either by turf or brushwood. The rifles of the marksmans are practically level with the ground, and for a party to advance against a line of marksmans in rifle pits would mean annihilation. In the same manner gun pits are dug for field guns, their ugly black soils lying parallel with the ground and almost touching it. A bombproof sunscreen can be erected in various ways, one of which is shown in the illustration. Another way of making gun pits is by a "blindage," which consists of a tree or something of the kind in front of a shelter trench that conceals the position of the piece. "When shelter trenches assume large dimensions they are known by the name of earthworks, and in the defense of a position every ingenuity of the soldier is brought into play. In mountaintops, in the deep ditch is built. In this ditch may be placed, crowns feet—iron balls with three spikes—arranged that at least one spike must be perpendicular.

A large tree, or a tree of hardwood, stripped of its leaves and with all its branches pointed sharply toward the enemy, makes a very effective chevaux de frise. But after all it is the spade work that tells; and it is the spade that makes the fougass or land torpedo, an illustration of which we give. The fougass is simply a kind of mine.

"Strictly Confidential!" Letter That Was Widely Read. "Here is a story I once heard about Gabe Bock's handwriting," said Henry M. Davis of Superior at the Hotel Pfister: "During a session of the legislature in Madison a bill was presented which Bock was very anxious to have his member去 Oakhose, and stated his objections to the bill and asked him to have it killed. The member saw that the letter was from Bock, but that was as far as he could go. He sat up nearly all night trying to make it out, and in the morning he was in a state of mind. He had been able to make out only two or three words. He came after another into his confidence until he had consulted nearly every member of the legislature. After about a week, with the aid of ex-printers and natural experts, he found out to his horror that Bock wanted the bill killed. It had Defective Page been passed without much opposition a day or two before. Bouch came down from Oshkosh in a rage and hunted up the member. He asked him of he had not received his letter and why he had paid attention to it. He explained the facts and told him he had found out what he wanted only after he had called in the services of the entire legislature. "But even then he said there were a couple of words at the end of the letter which no one could make out. So he took out the letter and sent it to the police.

Bernh and a Balky Hors There is one story about the late Henry Bergh which, it is believed, is now for the first time in print.

Sothern admits visitors to his dressing room. He did so in Cincinnati, where he entertained a somewhat nervous and excitable gentleman during his moments 'off the stage." In the midst of one of their arguments during which the visitor exposulated volubly, there entered the room a dignified and decorous colored man, who advanced to the center, saying in an earnest monotone: "Have you no fear of God?" and mysteriously departed as he came. Mr. Sothern's guest was greatly dumfounded, but was too well bred to ask questions. Resuming his argument he again grew heated in his remarks, and again the colored man quietly and mysteriously entered, and, clearing his voice, declared: "If you were the devil himself, do you think you could make me like you?" To the guest's surprise, the actor took the interruption as a matter of course, so Sothern's visitor in a dazed manner continued his argument, only to be interrupted again and again by Long Name, The smallest backboned animal in the world is a fish. It was discovered in Buhi, a mountain lake in the island of Luzon, in the Philippines. The tiny creature has two names out of all proportion to its size. The one given it by the natives is sinarapan, and doubtless has some significance in the language of the Blools, the natives living in the lake region. The scientific name is mystichthys Luzonensis, and means the smallest fish inhabiting Luzon. The largest of the species measures but half an inch in length, and the smallest not more than one-fifth of an inch. It would take about 6,000 of them to weigh a pound. Fortunately for the fishmonger of Luzon, the sinarapan is not sold by the dozen, or even by the hundred. They are measured by the quart. Small as the fish is, it forms an important food staple, even in a country First Use The two nations credited with the invention of the alphabet are the Phoenicians and the Persians. But it is not usually conceded that the two are entitled to anything like equal credit. The Persians, probably in the time of Cyrus the Great, used certain characters of the Babylonian script for the construction of an alphabet; but at this time the Phoenician alphabet had undoubtedly been in use for some centuries, and it is more than probable that the Persian borrowed his idea of an alphabet from a Phoenician source. And that, of course, makes all the difference. Granted the idea of an alphabet, it requires no great reason of constructive effort. It is made of alphabetical characters; though even here, it may be parented by another, a study Poison in A matter of practical science to which legislation must be directed much more seriously than has yet been done was brought before the congress of medicine recently held at Madrid.

It is well known that salicylic acid, salicylate of soda, sulphites, borax, boric acid, formalin and a variety of other chemicals are employed to make the substance in question "keep," the pretence being that they are used in such small quantities as to be innocuous.

Small Fish so rich in these products. The appearance of the native fish dealer with his basket of sinarapan is hailed with delight by the soldiers as well as the Filipinos. No net is fine enough, no hook is small enough to catch these fish. They are built by using a finely woven cloth as a net, and in this way woven in thousands at one swoop. When preparing them to eat they are first driined in a basket. Next they are mixed with pepper and other spices, made into cakes, and laid upon leaves in the sun, where they soon dry.

Regarding the Persian alphabet maker, then, as a copyist rather than a true inventor, it remains to turn attention to the Phoenician source whence, as is commonly believed, the original alphabet which became "the mother of all existing alphabets" came into being. It must be admitted at the outset that evidence for the Phoenician origin of this alphabet is traditional rather than demonstrative: The Phoenicians were the great traders of antiquity; undoubtedly they were largely responsible for the transmission of the alphabet from one part of the world to another, once it had been invented.—Henry Smith Williams in Harper's Magazine.

Of course, had Gorman received the Democratic nomination, he would have been beaten, as will Parker or any other candidate for the slaughter, but we are very glad that Gorman has been brought to see that he was not even a possibility. He's too tough for even the Democrats to stand. An unusual interest was shown in the case of Selden and others against the board of state canvassers, involving the election laws of Virginia, which was argued by John S. Wise before the Supreme Court of the United States. Governor Wise is endeavoring to show that the law is unconstitutional and he has our best wishes for success. --- The Maryland legislature has adjourned and the decent people of that state feel greatly relieved. The majority of the legislators were either ironamuses or knaves, who have distressed their state by enacting unjust laws. They have wanted to poop money, but have done nothing except put "Jim Crawford" laws on the statute book. Afro-Americans are constantly complaining because Caucasians discriminate against them, yet fourteen fool teamsters at Richmond, Va., refused to work with a white man and were discharged.

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, April 7—The Afro-American race has yet to learn the power of petition and how to ask for legislation that will favorably affect material interests. We depend too much on sentiments and the attitudes of men interested. But little new legislation of any importance is introduced and passed by congress without the aid of petitions which have been industriously circulated and signed by interested citizens and members of the sections of the country. For instance, if the powerful: A. M. E. or Baptist organizations favor the passage of a certain bill by congress, as was intimated by the introduction of a certain bill by Congress, we probable that much attention will be given one petition that recites the fact that two million members of these organizations desire such legislation, but on the other hand, if every church in the connection prepared a petition to the members and then mailed it to a friendly member of congress or to the committee in charge of the bill, there is likely to be favorable action or else good reasons will be given by the committee for its petition, and the passage of the bill in question. The work of preparing the petitions should be done intelligently, however, and by a special committee appointed by the organizations interested. The committee should have a thousand petitions having the signature of two hundred members, more or less, on each petition, will have an effect where only one petition purporting to be from two million members is sent to the pigeon hole and forgotten before the sun goes down. We must learn how to ask for what we want. The language of the republic of Haiti is French, while the language of the republic of Santo Domingo, on the island of Haiti, is Spanish. In speaking of the case of Santo Domingo Mr. William Bayard Hale recently wrote, among other things for a Thursday Evening Post, the following: Work for the United States. "It is not unlikely that the United States has a failure in the government for Haiti. The Ethiopian has been a failure in his Eden. He has nothing to show for a century of independence but a wilderness where there was a garden, and runs where there was a museum, a museum of art and joy. His governments have proven ridiculous affairs of contemptible incapacity; his moral condition is an affront to the conscience of the world. He has no principles to follow, and no future holds for him, if he is suffered to sink into it, nothing but a total atavism into savagery. If ever human considerations called to a duty they call out the world's attention to the world, in this instance, is the United States. The intolerable character which conditions in the black republics have now assumed recommends with what must be irresistible force, an interference in Santo Domingo for the relief of outraged humanity and the rescue of expiring civilization, not to mention the behold of morality, decency, tranquility and efficiency; and to mention the behold of the recommendation will be heeded." The physical, social and political conditions as pictured by Mr. Hale are deplorable, but what of the civilization he wishes to substitute? Read of the little social happening in Mississippi that recently occurred, and ask yourself, if Santa Domingo would be better or worse under the protection of the state. The following is the editorial from the Nashville American, Wednesday, March 16, 1904. That Congressman Crumpacker of Indiana, had read in the house during a heated discussion on the "Race Question" several days ago: The Brutal White. "Not long ago Governor Vardaman succeeded in preventing the lynching of a Negro in Mississippi. But there was a lynching in that state that for frenchish brutality has not yet been surpassed, even when the victims have been roasted at the stake. It occurred at Dodswille recently, and these are new circumstances." Luther Hobert, a Negro, had a quarrel with a white man, and followed the usual Mississippi method, they exchanged shots, the Negro escaping and the white man being killed. The Negro, knowing the penalty for killing a white man in that act, was killed by his wife, who had had no part in the quarrel. They were captured by the mob, and this is what was done to the Negro in the Virksherrn Herald; everyness in the Virksherrn Herald: "When the two Negroes were captured they were tied to trees, and while the funeral pyres were being prepared they were forced to suffer the most flendish tortures. The blacks were forced to hold out their hands and were forced to be pinned off. The fingers were distributed as souvenirs. The ears of the murderers were cut off. Holbert was severely beaten, his skull was fractured, and one of his eyes, knocked out, with a stick, hung by a shred from the socket. Neither the man nor woman begged for help, but the executioner came forward to lop off fingers. Holbert extended his hand without being asked. The most exquisitating form of punishment consisted in the use of a large corkscrew in the hands of one of the mob. The instrument was bored into the flesh of the man and the woman in the arms, legs and body, and then pulled out, leaving the tearing big pieces of raw, quilting flesh every time it was withdrawn. "After these tortures the mutilated bodies were burned. Had this Negro outraged a white woman? Oh, no; he had merely killed a white man who was shooting at him. His wife had committed no crime. He was killed when she was made to share his fate and with him to suffer the most cruel and brutal tortures the devilish ingenuity of the degraded savages could devise. The Vicksburg Herald truly says: 'If there is any hell, and if it is the abode of devils, the devil is greed and greed with any of the genius of their brethren on earth.' "White men," the members of this mob called themselves. They were brutal, cowardly curs who are a distrace to civilization, a dishonor to the human race. These miserable savages respectable citizens in their community. Perhaps they are. Then what a community it must be! Think of any state in the Union in this twentieth century containing a community of white men capable of producing such such barbarians, such savages as these. "The red Indians, whom we disposed of this country, in all the bloody history of cruelty and torture, were never guilty of more savage crimes than the most brutal crimes, their most bestial state of voodooism, could be guilty of nothing more savage and brutal. The white man is given to much hoasting, but in many instances he is but a thinly veneered savage who shows his capacity and his strength to the most deprived depths. But for the restraining influence of organized society and the law this class of whites would soon descend to savagery. The conduct of mobs shows this. The more frequent the mob the more 'brutal' the savage brings its excesses, the nearer the general approach to anarchy and barbarism. "It would seem that even men of dull and muddy minds, men who have no high thoughts or worthy conceptions, who read little and think less, would see this and appreciate the law lies safety for individuals and for society. The mob feeds upon its own brutal instincts. Yesterday it sought only to hang Negro ravishers of white women, and organized society, and then either guided by clear, cold judgment, rather winked at it. Today the mob multitates, dismembers, hacks to pieces, borses into their bodies with cork screws, and burns the bodies of grocers for money. Some do not amount to a misdeaner. In this instance the Negro man had killed a white man in a fight, and the Negro woman had done nothing except to stand or to die with her husband. It is high time for thoughtful decision to ask. Where is it going to end? "The Southwestern Christian Advocate, published at New Orleans, says of this latest exhibition of unrestrained savagery in Michigan: 'The Vardaman wanted a Vardaman gubernatorial canvass is at the bottom of 'this heart-sickening affair. Mr. Vardaman wanted to be governor, and in order to attain his wish he went in to the Negro, if anything at all, less than human. Many who heard him were too glad to have him say it. They turned from the speaker convinced that the Negro is unworthy of consideration, and has no rights which they now have.'" Governor Vardaman cannot escape the terrible responsibility for his utterances. He may be sincere in his views. So also were the New England witch burners, who were popularizing his candidacy for governor among the cheap 100 STEWARD THEOPORE GREENER RICHARD THEODORE GREENER.

In 1881 he defended Cajok since det Whitaker and established the Afro-American. whites by infirming them against the Negro, and this was made easier by Roosevelt's action in the Indianola postoffice affair. Vardaman as governor will find it difficult to suppress mobs which he encouraged as a candidate, and which he still encourages as a mouthing-politician. It is such men as he, mere surface skimmers of the white population which find expression in such sickening and savage conduct as that of the Doddsville horror." POLITICAL POINTERS 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. Gov. Van Sant of Minnesota may be chairman of the Republican National convention. The Second district of Tennessee has elected delegates to Chicago and instructed for Roosevelt. Indiana delegation will not present Fairbanks' name for vice presidential nomination, but if rest of country insists senator will not refuse. Republicans of the Ninth congressional district in North Carolina indorsed Roosevelt for president and Fairbanks for vice president. In the hardest municipal campaign that Hartford City has ever known, Judge William F. Henney, the Republican nominee for mayor, and his whole ticket were elected. Andrew Carnegie will probably be the largest individual subscriber to the Roosevelt campaign fund. He is ready to give $500,000 or even $1,000,000 if that is needed to reselect the present occupant of the White House. The Twenty-third Congressional district Republican convention elected William Barnes, Jr., of Albany, and Mary P. Barrett, of Connecticut, delegates to the national convention. The administration of President Roosevelt was indorsed. Republicans of the Fifty-ninth Congressional district in convention elector Representative B. W. Wadsworth of Genesee, and State Senator Stevens, of 'Attica, as delegates to the National Convention. Resolutions were adopted indorsing President Rocovelt. The Twentieth Congressional district of Pennsylvania to-day re-nominated President D. F. Lafean. His vote in 1896 for McKinley was the second of the leading business men of Richmond, from the field as a candidate for mayor of the city. Congressman Jesse Overtstreet has been renominated by the Republicans of the Seventh district by acclamation. The national convention delegates voted to reelection.

The inaugural Easter Party which was given by the "Social Five" at Litt's Hall last April, was so much of a success in every way that it was thought it could not well be improved upon; but everyone who was present organized at the same hall last Wednesday evening will readily admit that the former occasion was totally eclipsed. The organization consists of the same gentlemen, viz. Messrs. B. Burk and W. Johnson, Jas. W.Wynne and Harvey B. Burk; and they were as courteous, affable and omnipresent as before. These gentlemen were "gotten up regardless of expense" and were veritable Beau Brummels with their full armor, and they diagonally across each of which there was a lavender ribbon sash; each wore white kid gloves and patent leather shoes. They met their guests as they arrived in the reception room, where they were presented with pots of useful and fragrant flowers, and directed them to the cloak rooms. As the guests returned from the claok rooms they were handed lavender envelopes which contained dainty lavender dandelions. The programs were accompanied by little bows of lavender ribbon, which were used as badges of admission. In the reception room was a large cut glass bowl of champagne punch, which was constantly replenished and served by the attendant, Master Fred Wheeldin, during the entire evening. The carriages began to deliver their precious passengers at 8:30 o'clock sharp, and the champagne press was opened. They gathered in the parlor, which was also elaborately decorated with blooming plants and cut flowers that filled the air with their delicate perfume. The reception room was held and stangers were introduced and all given a royal welcome. Shortly after nine o'clock the St. Anthony Hill Orchestra, which furnished the music, played an introductory and then the marry of the Social Five was inaugurated. The order of the dances with their dedications were as follows: The refreshments were served in the balcony, as usual, and formed a very important feature of the occasion. After the refreshments were served dancing was resumed, and not until an idle moment, an eleclectically call their carriages and leave the scene of one of the largest and most delightful social functions our city has ever known. The "Social Five" are "IT." and no mistake. The number present was nearly twice as large as that of one year ago, and coincided with that, if possible, be beautiful. But every one is at liberty to draw his or her own conclusions from the following descriptions which speak for themselves: Mrs. C. H. Miller, white orginate with lace insertion, whole lace yoke, pink roses, diamonds. Miss Hattie Weir, Minneapolis, pink and white striped grenadine over cream taffeta, valenciennes lace yoke, white satin taffeta ribbon, American Mrs. Jas. W. Wynne, white crepe du chine over old rose and white silk, creme point d'esprit, roses, diamonds, Miss Georgia Davis, raag silk, pear trimming, blues and white medalion, pearl necklace, Easter illies. Miss Minetta James, white alba tross and lace, roses. Continued on 4th page. Crescent and Day Bicycle—Both manufactured by Poe Manufacturing Co., are the wheels we carry.

Since we began making "Star Brand" in 1888, nearly every store in town has an "Extra Brand" of butter; the paper cap is all the extra there is to it. Grocerymen and butchers don't make butter—they have it shipped from some outside creamy and repack it into jars or prints—consequently comes to you second-handed.

At the party last year there were thirty-seven ladies and thirty-four gentlemen present. This year there were sixty-one ladies and fifty-one gentlemen present. Master Fred Wheeldin was all right and "Charlie-on-the-spot" every time. Tis said that the ladies' maid was not as accommodating and agreeable as she might have been. The profusion of beautiful flowers added much to beautify the occasion. The proprietor and attaches of the hall were emphatic in their declarations that no other function held there this year equaled this. The party opened with a general promenade, the grand march did not occur until just before the intermission for refreshments and was led by Mr. Judge W. Johnson and Miss Georgia Davis. Twenty-three of the ladies and twenty-two of the gentlemen present at the party last year were present this year. The most handsome gown at the party was worn by M—well, that's a matter for each one to decide as he or she sees fit. Just the same, there were a lot of beautiful costumes on a lot of beautiful women. Everybody said that, and what everybody says is so, don't you know? The "boys" will have to hunt up a larger hall for their next party, is the general opinion. Hon. Wm. W. Ferguson, a prominent attorney of Detroit, Mich., and an ex-member of the state legislature, was in the city a few days last week on business. While here he was the guest of Mr. Robt., Pelham, Jr. His Ambition Realized. His Amplifier Reaches "At last, after forty years of hard work, my highest ambition is about to be realized," said a worthy fellow citizen who began on a capital of brains and push and is now counting his wealth in seven figures. "I have bought a house before whose doors nearly every parade of consequence will pass. I can sit in the window night or day and see the crowds go by, hear the cheering and listen to the music of the bands without having myself squeezed flat, my toes trodden upon, my clothes disarranged, my hat knocked off and all that sort of thing. Ever since I was old enough to run away from home to witness a procession I have envied the possessors of doors or windows along the line of arch, and at last I'm happy." An Ancient Invention. Archimedes of Syracuse, when he was in Egypt, invented the earliest machine for pumping bige water out of the holds of ships. The instrument was also used in the Delta for purposes of irrigation. Diordorus Siculus twice refers to it in his writings. A curious model of such an instrument, probably of the late Ptolemaic period, has been found in Lower Egypt. It consists of a terra-cotta cylinder with a screw inside it, ten inches long and four and a half, inches in diameter. Near the center of the outside is a band with cross-pieces. These may represent footholds, and suggest that the machine was worked after the manner of the treadmill. Such screws were probably made of wood. Beauty and the Beast. A strange affair happened in a village on the Lake of Constance. A local photographer, wishing to obtain an original design for an illustrated post-card, persuaded a young girl, the village beauty, to pose with a bear belonging to a wandering showman. The photograph was to represent the bear caught in the act of kissing the girl. The bear gave the girl such a close embrace that she fell senseless. It was some time before she recovered, but, fortunately, no bones were broken—London Mall. Some Pertinent Questions. When you see a young man flaunting his quickly gained wealth in your face, just ask yourself, "How much did he lose in getting it? How much of himself has he parted with in exchange for the money? Does it pay to sell one's manhood and character in order to get rich a little faster? isn't it safer to take the slower and approved method? Doesn't a youth lose unless his life is square and clean, no matter what money he gets?"—Sue The "NEW BREW" is a Bottle Beer that's new to you but four months old to us.
