CURIOSITY OF TEXAS ODD FORMATION NOT EASY TO BE ACCOUNTED FOR. Wall Now Entirely Underground Believed by many to Mark Boundaries of Prehistoric Fortress—Scientists Hold Different Opinion. Near Rockwall is one of the most curious formations in Texas. This town and county were named after it and many contend that in spite of the opinion of scientists to the contrary the formation of the product of the toil of a prehistoric race of people. The rock wall; as it is known, extends along three sides of the town, but generally at some distance from it, although to the south it is to be found within 200 or 300 yards of the corporation line. One no seems to know just how long it is, but traces of it have been discovered across the river in Dallas county. Geologists say that the wall owes its origin to a volcanic sphecnite. It is composed of stones which are three or four inches in width, two or three inches thick and from six to eighteen inches in length. They are piled on top of one another, just like brick, and with the same regularity. All of it is underground. At some places it comes to within ten feet of the surface of the earth. In others one will have to dig down to twice that depth before its top is touched. In the localities where it is nearest the surface plowshares have turned over the earth. In some places the fields are plenitively brinkled with them. Wells have been dug down by the side of the wall for a distance of fully fifty feet, but it extends down beyond that depth. The stones are of a light yellow color and evidently have mica in them. There are some streaks, too, which closely resemble white marble. The substance is very hard, and when exposed to the elements does not deteriorate. It is attested by pieces that have been bitten exposed for more than a generation. Another curious thing about it is that there is no other stone in the county which is just like it. Rock-wall county has some fine building stone, but it is of an entirely different kind. It resembles more nearly than anything else the bricks which are manufactured from the clay found in this section. Many believe that this wall was built by prehistoric men as a fortification for a settlement which once stood on this very spot. Asked to explain why it is that the wall is now underground, they explain geologists that once the Rock river found its way to the sea down through this valley and that it was miles in width. This black dirt, the theorists contend, is a mixture of alluvial deposit and clay, and these deposits, they say, covered up the wall—Galveston News. FUNGI HAVE GREAT POWER. Growing Mushrooms Broke Through A Brick Wall of a Hothouse The brick wall shows. The orchard is predeceased by the vegetation it has received many illustrations. No incident illustrates this power more forcibly than one which was noted recently in England. A few weeks ago some halfday annuals were sown in a frame just cleared of a winter crop in the gardens of Kelsay park. Beckenham, and the lights closed to hasten serpentation. Some days sheer signs of cracking were observed in the brick work, and gradually a block weighing in the aggregate one and one-half hundredweight was pushed out of position. After cutting out several bricks a mass of mushrooms was placed in the boxes on ounces in weight, growing in the center of the wall. The mycelium had run freely in the mortar, and on the inner face of the bricks. Potato a Friend of Monkin The potato is one of the most important foods of mankind. It is above all the friend of the working man. While it does not contain all the necessary elements of nutrition, yet in combination with a moderate supply of meat it makes a satisfactory diet. The Irish, who are one of the finest races physically in the world, live largely on potatoes. The most wholesome way to prepare the potato is to bake or boll it in the skin until it is just done through. Then take off the skin as neatly as possible and break on the plates into light masses. Pour on the gravity and the seasoning, or butter. This method is strongly recommended by physicians He Did Not Mean It: Ex-Mayor Charles F. Warwick, in exchanging with a group of lawyers tales of funny experiences, related this story as illustrative of a bon mot perpetrated on him by one of his witnesses under examination: "You have lived in Philadelphia a number of years. How long?" "Just twenty-five years." "Where did you live before that time?" asked the lawyer, hoping to prove an important point. "I didn't live; I was single!"—Phila delphia Ledger.

Do sit this way a wondering ACTIVE WHISTLE OF ITHACA. It tells the People when to Get up to Go to Work, to Bed, to Meals. In Ithaca they whistle for it. The whistle on the sewer pumping shows at 8, 12, 1 and 5 o'clock, and announces to working day of eight hours. At 11 o'clock the weather report is blown to the four winds by a code of blasts and shrieks and toots, and when there are special reports announcing cold waves or snowstorms these are whistled without delay so that he who listens may learn. At 12:30 there is a warning blast, at which every one pulls out his watch and gets the standard Eastern time fresh from the pipe. And then at 8 o'clock in the evening there is just one long blast, which announces that curfew will not ring to-night, but that every boy and girl under sixteen mother or be caught by one of the five regular pouceen, or perhaps a special, who is watching out for the well being of the rising generation. Furthermore there is a siren whistle which screeches to a fire and flood. It gives the number of the box, and if it is a food that is going to waste with it, the siren blasts after the announcement of the box number—Elimra Advertiser. The Song of the Sea. Katayama Studied at Iowa College. Japan's distinguished sociologist, Sen Joseph Katayama, laid the foundation for his great labors in behalf of humanity in Iowa and imbibed the first principles of altruistic social views at the feet of Prof. Parker at Iowa College, at Grimell. When the young Japanese left Iowa College as a graduate with the class of '92 his friends and associates expected much of him, for he had shown himself the possessor of an unusual mind and of a notable aggressiveness and optimism. Sen Joseph Katayama is now at the head of the most noted social settlement in Japan, Kingsley Hall, Tokio, which he founded; and he is recognized as one of the leading sociological workers of the world. This noted Japanese has had an interesting career that reads much like a romance. He was born of a peasant family in Japan and his education was obtained through his own efforts, against almost overwhelming odds. Affinity of Meteorites for Mountains. A total of 634 meteorites was known up to 1930, of which there were 182 irons and only 74 stones in the western hemisphere, and 299 stones and only 79 irons in the eastern hemisphere. The records show only the fall of 350 of these meteorites, dating back to the fifteenth century. Prof. Berwert finds that meteorite numbers of known specimens, calculates that 500 meteorites must fall to the earth each year, not counting shooting stars that disappear in the atmosphere, and that 55 of these at least should come under observation. Prof. Berwert finds that meteorites have been chiefly recorded in civilized countries, but in other areas there are more numerous in thinly settled districts, and that they have an especial affinity for mountainous areas—Philadelphia Record. Africa's Iron Ore. In addition to the gold and diamond mines of Africa, iron promises to be an important industry, as the first blast furnace has just been erected near Pretoria, on the line of the railway, and is located in the center of iron deposits and in close proximity to coal supplies. The furnace, which will have a diameter of 4,000 tons of iron and is to be followed by rolling mills and a steel converting plant. The ore is of the hematite and magnetite variety, and runs 58 to 62 per cent of metallic iron. A survey above ground and cross-cutting indicate that there are some 62,000,000 tons of iron in sight—Harper's Weekly. **Some Taste.** "Mandy, dye recollect how Henry Wiggins used to play marbles all the time when he had a little feller?"

THE APPEAL. BUILDING AMERICA'S GREATEST BATTLESHIPS A TIME RACE FOR A STAKE OF MILLIONS U.S. NAVAL CONSTRUCTOR WM.C.J.BAXTER First Class Battieship Connecticut as She Will Appear When Completed. Was there/ever before a contest, either of masters or matter, for a prize of millions!" Such a *struggle*, a race in which two thousand men and the best brains of shipbuilding science are matched, takes place on Tuesday. The contestants are the United States government and a great shipyard. The test is the speed of construction on two battleships of exactly similar type, each to most about $4,000,000, and the question at issue is whether the government or the prince of the nation is the builder of fightable vessels. In the Brooklyn navy yard the battleship Connecticut is taking shape and the man who has been delegated to make the race with her building is Constructor William J. Baxter of the United States navy. In the yards of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock company, at Newport News, the ship is being built. The time allowance is forty-five months from the start, and the judges who will award the laurels of victory are the president of the United States, his cabinet and the two houses of Congress. It is a race against time, and its result, according to the plan of the Congress that authorized it, will be to show in exact terms the efficiency of our navy yards. The government has proof that the government could build its own ships at less expense than private companies, at equally as well and in as short a time. First Class Battl The Navy department accepted the challenge. "A difference of opinion makes horses race," one some has said, and it is the same sort of difference that is responsible for this novel and unprecedented race against time. Late in 1902 Congress authorized the building of the two pammoth battleships on the same plans. They represent the highest degree of the development in naval construction reached at that time. Early in 1903 the contract for building the Louisiana was awarded to the Newport News Shipbuilding company, on their bid of $3,900,000, and on Feb. 7 of the same year her keel was laid. To the Brooklyn navy yard was allotted the task of building the Connecticut in March 10 work was begun by the employees of the government. The contest, was on. When an interviewer sought out the chief government racer last Thursday—the anniversary of the laying of the Connecticut's keel—he found Naval Constructor Baxter half hidden by a mass of blue prints and plans that formed a paper wall around his desk. But, busy as he was, the constructor smiled amiably. Evidently his big job had not "gotten on his nerves." And that this was just the sort of man to build one of the greatest fighting machines ever projected, just the sort of man to lead this race of races. "Now, I've always maintained that there should be no feeling of rivalry between the men who are building the Louisiana and myself," he began with another reassuring smile. "There is, The Rivals Must Show, Within a Time Limit of Forty-five Months, Whether the Navy Department or the Corporation is the Best Builder of the Nation's Sea-Fighting Machines. test,ize tire,write two of s of ched ship- hip con- ctly property speaking, no contest with them—it is a race against time. We are, each of us, building what is designed to be a great battleship, and my task is to complete the Connecticut within the limit of both time and money set in the building. News to be is merely a test of the navy yard—not one of the Newport News people. "As to whether we shall win there is a grave question. We are making an uphill fight. The government yards are at a disadvantage in competing with private concerns for several reasons. For one thing the private yards are the same price that the government pays for eight hours' work. There is, you see, a difference of something like 25 per cent in favor of the private yards in so far as labor is concerned. In addition, one must take into consideration the twenty holidays within a year when no work is done in the government yards, but for which, nevertheless, men are fully paid. So much for labor. "In the matter of material it is well known that the method of government purchases is cumbersome. A private concern can buy at less cost almost all the material that goes toward the equipment of a battleship. So you must realize that we have a hard face to make. For all time we are also at a disadvantage. When the fleet is at sea, we can devote all our time to Battleship Connecticut as She Will Appear WI the Connecticut, but when the ships come in, demanding repairs, we are compelled to give them the preference and then all work upon the big battleship is practically at a standstill. "It is accepted at present by naval experts that the battleships of a navy form its backbone, as it were. It was with this idea in mind that the planers of the Connecticut and Louisiana worked in forming them. Its best feature was a combine armament with speed—to couple the speed of a cruiser with the strength of a battleship of the earlier type. "Some idea of the immensity of a battleship may be formed from the fact that we already have placed 7,500,000 pounds of metal in her, although the mere shell is barely completed. The total displacement of 16,000 tons includes the weight of the ship when everything is in place—the guns, armor, engines, coal, and incidental furnishings. We can give an adequate idea of the tremendous destruction of such a vessel when hurled forward by the momentum of her engines upon an adversary." is When one stands in the shadow cast by the huge hull of the Connecticut, a row of houses, five stories high, and extending a full long block, conveys approximately the same sense of size as the hull itself as it lies in its huge cradle at the water's edge. On each side, from the ground to the bulwarks, temporary companionways have been constructed, up and up down these warm continuously two men who are making streams of humanity—the men who are making the race, 1,000 of them siloother. But one must scale the companionway. Defective Page and stand upon the deck—as yet rough plates of steel—in order to realize the magnitude of the ship and of the task which is being accomplished so quietly by Naval Construct or Baxter. In the basin to the right the big battleships Iowa and Indiana laid up for repairs, seem toy boats by comparison. "They are hardly pigmies," said the constructor, "but they don't compare with the Connecticut. "The battery of the Connecticut is to be one of the heaviest in existence. In the bow and stern turrets the four twelve-inch guns will be placed—two in each. To the port and starboard of these will be the turrets for the eight-inch guns the turrets in all guns in each. Disposed at points between the eight-inch turrets will be the twelve guns of seven-inch bore—something new in the armament of our ships. The secondary battery will include twenty rapid-fire guns of three-inch bore, twelve semi automatic three-pounders, two automatic one-pounders. With the three gun tubes the Connecticut will be able to give any ship afloat a very unpleasant quarter of an hour." —New York Times. Force Sixty-three Miles Long. One of the longest fences in the northwest is being constructed around the Lower Brute Indian reservation, on the Missouri river, in the central portion of South Dakota. This remarkable fence will be sixty-three U.S. NAVAL CONSTRUCIOR WM.J.BAXTER When Completed. miles long. It is composed of four wires placed on posts set to a rod apart, cedar and ash posts alternating. In its construction 250 miles of wire will be used, or 76,000 pounds. To erect the fence required an aggregate of 19,000 posts. In this long fence there will be only three gateways, which will be guarded when the fence is completed. Taxes Exceed Expenditures The expenditure of the province of British Columbia having for years been less than the receipts, the legislature has been forced by the banks to increase taxation.

Securea Absolution SECRET ASSIGNMENT "A local gentleman" of Kilmarnock admitted to the provost of that town the other day that he was the author of the bogus letter regarding the gift to Kilmarnock of a Burns tangle, at a cost of £500,000 from Andrew Carnegie. He gave the provost £250 for the local hospital, and the incident was officially closed. Land Under Irrigation. The census bureau estimates that approximately 9,200,000 acres were under irrigation in July of last year. This is an increase since the irrigation season of 1899 as reported in the census of 1900 of 1,660,455 acres. London Birth Rate Declines. In 1881 the London birth rate averaged 32.2 a thousand. It steadily declined to 28.5 in 1902. BIRD LIFE IN HAWAII. Many Species Will Disappear or Be Dominant in Unexpected Heights. Driven to inaccessible Heights. From some of the open pastures rises the song of the skylark, which was imported from New Zealand; skylarks increase in number, but not very quickly. Voice of the Chinese turtle dove—the mourning dove, it is called—is heard in the land quite near to the valley homes; also the upward whirr of the Mongolian and the Japanese pheasant. Grouse and quail—the California valley quail—are there until lately, but we now betaken themselves to heights of herons to 7,000 feet, whither the marauding mongoose can not follow them. I asked a young niece of my own who lately left Honolulu what birds visited their grounds three miles up the valley road, and she tells me: "Java" sparrows, rice birds, and those squawking mynahs. The last eat up all our young figs and grapes, unless we throw the tennis nets over that watching of birds which is essential to a knowledge of their life history has, indeed, been impossible to most visitors to Hawaii. And now that annexation is giving an impetus to the development of the country's resources, the inevitable destruction of its forests, even if the birds themselves do not perish with the trees that sheltered them for so many years, they still offer more heights and wooded depths between the sharp volcanic peaks, which will baffle the hardiest climber. —Blackwood's Magazine. LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT. Great Results Sometimes Spring from Small Beginnings. "The longer I live," observed the cashier of a bank down town, "the more I realize the importance of little things. Here is a case in point," he continued, referring to a letter he just had received. "A few weeks ago I had two years of experience on a elderly man, a big depositor, and the other the president of a manufacturing concern and the writer of this letter. This manufacturer left, and soon afterward the excitable man discovered that some one had taken his hat. He stormed at the place until one of the clerks suggested that perhaps the manufacturer had taken his hat, and then handed his address and started out to hunt him down and give him 'a piece of his mind.'" "The other day I read a letter from the manufacturing concern and was astonished to see among the names of its officers that of my excitable caller as vice president. My curiosity was aroused and I made some inquiries. Now I learn that the excitable man was so pleasantly received when he called for his hat that his anger cooled at once. Then he taking a man manufacturer's business and the money he was making. A few days later he invested heavily in the concern and was elected its vice president. And all be cause of that little mistake about a hat."-New York Press. Example of It Himself. The delegate with the scarred face rose to speak.

When the photographing operation was completed he told the photographer, as people had done from time immemorial, that he hoped the camera would stand the shock. Anxious to reassure his distinguished patron and somewhat frustrated with the importance of the occasion, the photographer has really replied: "Oh, that's all right, Mr. Platt.

MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. THE SWORD IN JAPAN WEAPON HELD IN GENERAL ESTEEM AND REVERENCE. Authentic Blades of Famous Makers Still Highly Prized—How the Product of One Swordsmith Obtained a Bad Reputation. Until the year 1603 there was no law existing in Japan with regard to the wearing of swords. Any one might carry as many as he chose. During the Tokugawa regime, however, a law was promulgated which allowed only the nobles, the fighting men or samurai, the artists or painters and the swordsmiths to carry swords. This law remained in force until 1877, when an edict was issued forbidding any one to wear swords in public. This created discontent among those whose privilege it was to carry them, whereupon the government proclaimed another edict, allowing any one to wear as many swords as he pleased. This removed the cherished distinction attached to the wearer of a sword, to one领领 to do what was permitted to all. All swords has entirely ceased for twenty years in Japan, the old esteem and reverence for the weapon and its use still exist among the gentlemen of the country, and many of the nobility have at their houses regular establishments where fencing is practiced. In the past there were certain famous swordmasters in Japan and authentic blades of their workmanship are highly prized. One old-time swordmaker has a singular reputation. This is Muramassa, who was a pupil of the great Masumane, second in fame of all Japanese swordmiths. He was widely known and undefeated in the excellent weapons, but he was a man of violent temper, and his swords were thought exceedingly dangerous. It was supposed that once withdrawn from the sheath they always shed blood before being returned. They were regarded as being particularly unlucky, so far as the Tokugawa family of Japanese rulers was concerned. The father and grandfather of Iyeyasu, the first shogun of the family, both attacked him and murdered Muramassa. Iyeyasu therefore issued an edict forbidding any one to carry them. It was in this way that they acquired their bad reputation. Muramasa once challenged Masamune to a trial of their respective swords. Masamune consented, and the sword blades were placed in a running stream of water, with their edges turned against the current. All the leaves, twigs and rubbish which flowed down stream ran into Muramasa's sword and were severed, while they carefully avoided coming into contact with the Masamune blade. "Ah," said Masamune, "that demonstrates very well the difference between our swords; yours is bloodthirsty and cuts everything which comes near it, while mine avoids doing unnecessary damage." MISTAKEN FOR A PATIENT: Ameusing Reception Accordeed a Visitor to a New York Hospital. An Italian who had been in this country only forty-eight hours went to Bellevue hospital last week to visit a patient. An obliging fellow countryman in the reception room instructed the stranger in the mysteries of the main office, and presently he was whisked upstairs in an elevator. When he was walking into the room, he walked into a ward and sat down. The first nurse that spied him there took it for granted that he was a new patient. In less time than it takes to tell it he had thoroughly scrubbed and put to bed. Then the doctor in charge of the ward came along and made an examination. The unwilling patient seemed to be resting comfortably, but the absence of any pronounced symptoms was alarming. A second doctor was sent twice and twice the second examination and then called a third. The time the bewildered Italian had yielded to the inevitable and was sleeping peacefully. The third doctor prescribed an interpreter and finally a guide took the smiling visitor to the bedside of his sick friend.—New York Sun. A Bridge of Note The "Aud Brig o' Ayr," which Burns made dear to all lovers of his immortal poetry by the famous dialogue between the new bridge and the old one, is falling into decay. Well it may, for the date of its foundation, cut into its wall is 1252. Six hundred and fifty years is a respectable age for a bridge. Its supports are now crumbling. An architect, who is also an archaeologist and an enthusiast for Burns, reports that it will soon collapse unless it be shored up and renewed. The architect's council of Ayr to appropriate $2,500 for its preservation. The council is willing to act, it is said, but is delaying over a question of whether the money should come from taxation or be taken from a bequest long ago made for the purpose, the validity of which is undecided. Here is an opportunity for Andrew Carnegie.

SATURDAY, APRIL 23, 1904 NATIONAL CONVENTION. The date for holding the next National Republican Convention, June 21, at Chicago, is the latest of any convention in the history of that party. The next Republican convention, which fact will give the superstitious something to talk about. Other Republican conventions have been held as follows: Philadelphia, June 17, 1856—Nominees, John C. Fremont, of California, William L. Dayton, of New Jersey. Chicago, May 16, 1860—Nominees, Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, and Hanibal Hamlin, of Maine. Chicago, May 16, 1861—Nominees, Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, and Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee. Chicago, May 20, 1868—Nominees, Ulysses S. Grant, of Illinois, and Schuyler Colfax, of Indiana. Chicago, May 20, 1872—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. Cincinnati, June 14, 1876—Nominees, James A. Garfield, of Ohio, and Chester A. Arthur, of New York. Chicago, June 3, 1884—Nominees, Ames G. Blaire, of Maine, and John A. Logan, of Illinois.

Since the Representation will be noticed that the first name on its ticket has always been from either Illinois, Indiana, or Ohio, with the single exception of 1884, when the honor went to Maine. The only York is when Mr. Goodwin is distinguished when he goes well, is nominated next June. AFRO-AMERICAN RIGHTS SUSTAINED. The supreme court of the state of Illinois on last Wednesday in the famous-, or rather infamous- case of the city council of Alton against Scott Bibbs, an Afro-American boy, for the second time reversed the decision of the Madison county circuit court, and he also should attend. The council of Alton to admit Bibbs to Washington school, that being the school nearest to his home, and he should attend. The Douglass and Lorejoy schools had been by this unjust color prejudice council for the use of Afro-American pupils and tried to force Bibbs to attend one of those schools rather than the one nearest to his home, he refused to go. The case has been before the courts a long time and it is with much pleasure we are able to state that the supreme court holds that the contention of the city council that no discrimination was made against Bibbs on account of color, is ridiculous, and the supreme court is right. For every one knows that if Bibbs were not an Afro-American there would have been no discrimination in any school any school he wished. All honor to the supreme court of Illinois. It is quite refreshing and encouraging to find, in these times when it seems that an Afro-American has no rights that a white man is bound to respect, the highest court of the great state of Illinois, for his insignificant rights. Again we say all honor to the supreme court of Illinois, may it live long and prosper, and may its tribe increase. Between the out-and-out democrats and the despicable, so-called "Lily White" republicans, the Afro-Americans in Louisiana have been entirely shorn of any political power or persecution. They have been the decisive offices and the "Lily Whites" get all the federal ones. "It's a long lane that has no turn." THE CRUM CASE SEND YOUR SUBSCRIPTION The Legal and Legislative Bureau of the National Afro-American Council has issued a circular letter asking the people for funds to prosecute the case of Rev. H. T. Johnson vs. The Pullman Car Co. which has been appealed. It is the intention of the director of the Bureau in view of the recent success of the case, which virtually excludes Afro-Americans from their sleeping cars in the South and bordering states, desires to make a strong effort to get a favorable decision in this Johnson case. The only way the Bureau can get funds is for the people to send in such sums as the case requires, in which every Afro-American in this country is vitally interested. The specific sum asked for is ONE DOLLAR from each person who feels enough interest in this vital race matter to pay that amount, but no one is limited, and anyone who wishes to do so must do so. The financial secretary of the Bureau is Mr. Jesse Lawson, 2011 Vermont avenue, Washington, D. C., to whom subscriptions may be sent. BOOSEVELT REALLY RIGHT The latest evidence of where President Roosevelt stands was furnished Wednesday, when a delegation of members from the White House called E. conferen- tion to Wall rights, and asked him to pay respects. President Roosevelt said: "Gentlemen, I am glad to greet you here, and especially to hear the kindly sentiments which you express concerning my administration, all other men, irrespective of color or previous condition, you should have nothing less, and, as far as I am able, I shall strive, as in the past, to secure you the rights that are yours. With Roosevelt? Roosevelt's really right!" The democrats are still at sea as to who will be their candidate for president, but the republicans have but one man in their minds—Theodore Roosevelt. The little "Jap" has demonstrated to the big "Rus" the wisdom of the old "Despise not the day of small things." CORRESPONDENT WANTED With View to Matrimony—Good Chance for Young Lady.

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, April 21—Whenever a Southern Democrat, whose lineage can often be traced to the "Clay Eaters," "poor whites" and "Hill billions" of that section, makes a speech in Congress on the "race question" he inquired about. He is some ignorant, irresponsible and trifling plantation hand whom he knows quite well, and, strange to say, the leading newspapers of the country, irrespective of politics, print, every day. When a man when a man like Congressman Charles F. Scott of Kansas speaks, in the almost forgotten language of an American citizen, for freedom and equal opportunities to all classes—when such a man speaks words of encouragement shown by a struggling race, we seldom see a line in print. In fact, the idea is quite prevalent that certain "news bureaus" are being largely dominated by Southern stockholders, in consequence of which the worst side of the affair is continually held in the lime light. The poor whites of the South, who were hated alike by the aristocrats and slaves, are now in power, and the world looks on and laughs because power and influence in their hands is the same as an elephant in the hands of a man, and incidentally trying to forget the depths from which they sprang, the aristocrats and Northern capitalists are developing the resources of the South, are building the factories and railroads, marketing the crops and the foodstuffs, the power and influence now enjoyed by the poor whites is of short duration. The rehabilitated aristocrat will soon have affairs under his control again. During a recent discussion in the House occasioned by the presentation of a letter from Ex-President Cleveland, denying that Fred Douglas was invited to his wedding reception, and further that while governor of New York, the signed bill providing mixed schools, Congressman Scott of Kansas said in mart: "Is not the Afro-American handicapped enough, in heaven's name, by the prejudice of color and cast, by the limitations of his race, without trying to deny him the protection which the law gives to the meanest of his white competitors?" "We have heard it stated on this floor that the Afro-American is unfit for citizenship and incapable of rising above the records show that in forty years, starting with nothing, this race has accumulated $800,000,000 of property. It shows that, starting in almost total ignorance, more than half of them over the age of 25 have not yet write. The census shows that nearly 25 per cent of them own their own homes, while here and there individuals have amassed fortunes. Here and there also individuals have acquired education and culture and developed skills, which would do credit to the men of any race. "In the face of such a record as that it is not the acme of effrontery to declare that there is nothing for the Afro-American to do but 'peaceably and quietly'. in the language of a member of this house, to assume that inferior position has been fitted him? Nature and training have fitted the great majority of the Caucasian race for an inferior position, but does it follow, therefore, that no individual of that race who is capable of reaching a higher position shall be allowed to aspire to it? A fair field and no favor is all the Anglo-Saxon has ever asked for himself, and he has always demanded that. Can he get his position and espouse his inferior, that which he demands for himself? "The lesson of our history, the lesson of all history, Mr. Chairman, is that the people of one nation rise or fall together. We must lift the Afro-American up, we must drag us down. For my own part I have no shadow of doubt as to the final outcome. We will lift the Afro-American up. We will do this partly by reason of the spirit of fairness, the rights of the black-saxon nature that it compels us in the end, whether we will or no, to give every man a fair chance; and we will do it partly out of the spirit of enlightened selfishness, because our own industrial society has made it possible that we have complete faith in the invincible common-sense of the American people, and all this problem calls for is common-sense. For common-sense will call at last for common justice, and when common justice is meted out, we will be rewarded, and we measures the deeds, the rewards, and the penalties of black and white alike, when equal opportunity keeps step with equal rights—in a word, when the Afro-American is given a fair field he will receive, and the race problem will be solved." The S. Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society has accomplished an interesting and important feat in musical affairs of next season, having received an acceptance to their invitation to the Anglo-African composer, Coleridge-Taylor, for the fall and personally conduct a performance of his own works, "Hiwatha" and "The Atonement." The first one has been heard here several times, and always with splendid success, the last named not having yet been sung here, the composer expressed himself as particularly delighted to accept their invitation and terms, as it had always been his special ambition to some time conduct a good choral society of colored singers, and he looked for them. This will be the most pleasing. The composer has recently written three new chorales, which he informed them he had dedicated to the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society here, and which he hoped they would sing on the occasion of his retirement. This will be the musical event in this city, alike to the white people and the colored, for Coleridge-Taylor has been spoken of as among the greatest English composers. Special services were held in all of Sunday. It was ordination day, and Sunday. Bishop Lee delivered the ordination sermon in the morning at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. The ordination ceremonies took place at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. In the evening speeches and ceremonies were given by the combined choirs of the Washington and Baltimore Churches, conducted by Prof. Layton. The evening sermon was preached by Rev. H. T. Johnson, editor of the Christian Recorder of Philadelphia. A special meeting of the Wilberforians was held at the residence of President Wm. A. Joiner on April 16th. Bishop Lee, Rev. John Hurst and wife, Dr. Jennifer, Dr. Woodson and Rev. Reese, were present. A delightful evening was spent in the discussion of affairs pertaining to Wilberforce. Congress has appropriated $4,000 to the Industrial department of Howard University. Judge S. D. Davis of Maine made the principal address Sunday night in Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church, on the occasion of the celebration of the fortieth anniversary of the issuing of the proclamation of annunciation for the Negroes in the District by President Lincoln. He said he deplored the conditions which confront the Negro race. There are men, he said who profess to be Christians, but who, in fact are brutes in human form, who stand by and perhaps participate in that great crime which has become the scourge of the nation. CHAS. E. HALL. HISTORY OF THE COMMUNE OF 1811. History of the Commune of 1811. Translated from the French of Lissagourge Eleanor and Celia Leeling. New York: International Publishing. "History of the Commune of 1871" by Eleanor Marx Aveling is a well written volume of history, dealing with one of the most frequently shook France to its foundations. The translator has performed the difficult art of preserving the peculiar epilogue of the French prose, and of which Lissaguer appears to be a master. The author art of the author never lags from the opening to the closing chapter of this book of extraordinary The Commune of 1871 was the culmination of French weakness and imbueness—the rested upon those in authority, and which the prostration of the French by the wonderstrategist Von Molke. In reading certain chapters of this book might easily imagine that the revolting being enacted in Paris and elsewhere the Events which led up to the war with Germany are thus described by the The war of '61-5 will never cease—at perennial and never falling topic of absorbing interest; giants; because many of those giants still survive its vicissitudes; and next deadly breach; its long and dreadful matches; its Gettysburg and Chichester profoundly influenced the civilizations of the world; because its echoes in the world; because its echoes in the civilizations of American life. In these things the author's volume is interesting. It can be read with power by the art of an artist which has himself remained unwritten, is brought forth This volume, while designed especially for text-book use, is common at the Common Course of Colleges, is equally suited for the games on the Theory of Money, the Practice of Finance, and the topics taken up. This is the first treatise on methods of bank bookkeeping and works on the theory and history of finance, and the authority on the subject, and presents concise summaries. This book will appeal alike to those who intend to devote their lives to studying the history and theories of banking. 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 Leng Way Off, the Pot*Begins to Boll. West Virginia is for Roosevelt The Wisconsin State Republican convention meets May 18. The nomination of President Roosevelt at Chicago will be by acclamation. The Republicans of West Virginia have indicted Senator Elkins for second place. There is harmony in New York and the state will remain in the Republican column. Speaker Cannon will probably be the permanent chairman of the Republican national convention. Talk of Secretary Shaw for vice president has been renewed at Washington. He is a good campaigner and mixer. Indiana delegation will not present Fairbanks' name for vice presidential nomination, but if rest of country insists senator will not refuse. 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 much is needed to reselect the present occupant of the White House. The Republicans of Maine, in convention, elected four delegates at large to the national convention at the White House, and administered President Roosevelt, and recommending his nomination. Senator Cullom in a recent interview says that the Republican party is good about being family speaking but would be greatly gratified if the party in Illinois would dwell together in harmony and select a gubernatorial ticket which would bring about unification. Pennsylvania is for Roosevelt. Read the resolutions: In Theodore Roosevelt, soldier and statesman, author and scholar, equal friend of labor and of capital, vigorous advocate of the rights of a president of whom we are justly proud, and whose wise and beneficent administration we heartily indorse and desire to have continued. We therefore unanimously recommend that the approaching national convention and instruct our delegates accordingly. Chairman Babcock of the Republican congressional campaign committee has announced the executive committee of 'that body as follows: J. A. T. Hull, Iowa, chairman. H. C. Loudenslater, New Jersey. W. A. W. Vijayanaja. Victor H. Metcalf, California. Ector H. Metcalf, Maine. Tawney, Mann, Longworth and Lilly are new members. The officers of the congressional committee at the Bank of Virginia, Chairman Sherman, New York, and Secretary Overstreet, Indiana, are ex-officio members of the executive committee. The indications are that the committee will be established in Washington. THE "PURE" CAUCASIAN A. E. Bell, a real Caucasian, is a thief—he has stolen a million and there the honor lies. Mrs. Ashmead, a Caucasian of purist ancestry, has for years conducted a baby-giving ceremony, and has HUNDREDS of innocent babies—has thrown them while yet alive into the furnace. She is a fiend, the spawn of the Satan, yet a “pure” Caucasian. A secondnel in London who could trace his ancestry back for hundreds of years, has recently committed suicide when he was detected trying to kill his seventh wife, whom he had murdered. The fiends who burn men at the stake in this country are generally pure Caucasians, or pose as such. Many pure Caucasians are all right, but some are all wrong. The simple fact that one is a pure Caucasian does not make him all right any more than the fact that one who is not a pure Caucasian is all wrong. Soldiers' Addresses Wanted Henry N.

He is @ young man, an-attorney by pro- fession, and better posted on munici- dal affairs than the average candi- date seeking an aldermanic position. Byery indication goes to show that he will receive almost the solid support of the young men in this campaign, regardless gf party politics. Robert Jamison, chairman of the Republican state ‘central committee, on Thursday issued a call for a meet- ing of, the committee at the Windsor hotel Wednesday, May 4, to arrange for the state convention to nominate state officers, ‘The committee will meet at 2 o'clock in the afternoon in Rooms 55 and 56, It was originally intended to call the committee at an earlier date, but the meeting was post- poned that there might be time for the call to reach every member of the committee. Frank Arnold, ‘a candidate for re- election on the Republican assembly ticket, is just completing his first term in the assembly. He has displayed a keen intelligence and a broad grasp in municipal affairs, and has taken am advanced stand on all the more prom- inent public questions that have come up during the past two years, working with a single eye for the benefit of the city.

On Thursday, April 14, Miss Rosa Walle Walton arrived in the city from Chicago, where she had been visiting relatives, and in the morning of the same day she was united in marriage to Mr. G. W. Davis by Rev. Geo. W. Gaines at the parsonage on Louis street in the presence of a few intimate friends. The young couple are stopping with Mr. and Mrs. D. Parker, 265 Louis street, in the presence. There is a romantic history in connection with this couple, now married. Mrs. George W. Dais, Mrs. Rosa Lee Walton, was born in Atlanta, Ga., about twenty-two years ago. Her mother died when she was quite small and her father married again, and shortly afterward moved with his new wife to Chicago. He left his little daughter with some distant relatives of her mother. As schoolmates she and her present husband, Mr. George W. Davis, who is two years her senior, met and loved, as young folks frequently do. When Miss Walton was about fourteen years of age Mr. W. H. Young, a young some man, about forty years of age, arrived in Atlanta and was instantly attracted to the exquisite beauty of Miss Walton, who, however, did not reciprocate his alleged affection. He quite a determined suitor, however, and acting on the saying that all is fair in love and war, ingratiated himself into the good graces of the relatives, who in turn persuaded Miss Walton to accept his attentions, and in the short space of about two months she was further persuaded, against her will, by these relatives, who wished to be relieved of the burden of support, to marry Mr. Young. They immediately left for St. Louis, where she soon found he was not the man he was represented to be, as and her life was very unhappy. She, however, determined to about the situation as graceful as possible, but it was a very difficult struggle, as he was an impossible and actually cruel that it almost more than her delicate nature could stand. When she reached St. Paul she was much surprised to find the lover of her school days a resident here, and the old affection which she had smothered again involuntarily arose. She then told her husband the true state of her feelings toward him, and said she did not longer intend to stand his cruel treatment and incompatible temper. Mr. Davis then went to Mr. Young, who endeared to have him do a husband parly his wife, and even gave him to give him a partnership in his barber shop in the Germania Life Building that he might be able to properly meet her. Finally, after about three years, Mrs. Young found that her health and peace of mind, which had been ruined by her marriage and the cruel treatment of her husband, demanded that she seek to relieve herself from her unfortunate predicament, and she told her husband she intended to apply for a divorce. He made no objection and left for Hot Springs, Ark., and shortly afterwards Mrs. Young went to the home of her stepmother, Mrs. Lulu Walton, in Chicago, who is now, a widow, her husband having been dead about five years. Mrs. Young immediately applied for a marriage to the grounds of compatibility and cruelty, and as there was no defense upon the part of her husband the divorce was at once granted. She then returned to St. Paul, where she was joined to the man who was her first and only love, as stated above. This story should appeal to parents and relatives who interfere in the love matters of their children in the extent when the child is driving of the hand when the heart can never be.
