NO. 19 Man's Days of Life It is a sad commentary upon our scholarship and our civilization that the average life of a man to-day should be somewhere between 30 and 35 years, says What to Eat. With all our scientific advance and our knowledge of hygiene and sanitation, we have cut down the life of man to nearly one-sixth since the days of Abraham and Isaac. We have it on good authority that Abraham lived 175 years and that Isaac died at the ripe old age of 180, being "full of years and of days." Job's life was full of trials, bolts and vicissitudes, and yet he was 120 years old when he gave up the ghost. Prof. Eli Metchnikoff of the Pasteur institute has fixed the minimum limit of man's life at 140 years. Having lived a natural and scientific life from birth, he gave up his life to sacrifice off this mortal coil at 140 years. At that time of life he will merely begin to feel himself "full of days." Prof. Metchnikoff shows that man's vermiform appendix is a moral disharmony, for whose useful existence we must go back to herbeating creatures like the rabbit, in which it fulfills a notable function in the digestion of raw vegetable matter. In man it is nothing but a substitute, one Paris hospital having treated 440 cases of appendicitis and leucocarditis. The Spread The Spread of Russia To the unknown south, across the murky Nippees to Vladikavik, nesting below the snow-covered mountains of the Caucasus, a world of history and romance, lies our route, and within two days we are in real Russia—the Russia untouched by foreign influence.

According to a German exchange, the assistant of the university clinic of the Royal Charity hospital, Dr Weather Thorner, has succeeded in solving a problem which had received much attention from many others before him, with little or no success. He has managed to photograph the background of the eye and obtain good pictures of it, too. His invention represents a material improvement on the ophthalmoscope invented by Helmboltz in 1850.

Champ S. Andrews entered his law office one day last week and found waiting for him a client named Hulett from Ogdenburg. According to Mr. Hulett's previous account of some matrimonial and business tangles, which he wanted Andrews to straighten out, he had been victimized by shrewd and unscrupulous lawyers in the vicinity of his home town. Therefore he had small regard for members of the bar as a class. "I'm sorry I keep you waiting, Mr. Hulett," said Mr. Andrews. "I've just returned from the funeral of a lawyer." sion from all this? Man cannot wait for his great intestine to disappear in the course of the ages, and he does not care to run the risk of having it cut out. And yet it is the theory of Prof. Methicklou that the phi-sac is due directly to the microbes of the large intestines, which are continually breaking down the higher cells of our structure. The only course is to fight the intestinal microbe, and as there are 128,000,000,000 of him formed each day it will be seen that the job of fecal digestion is better fecal smelling, butterfly and warn us to weave over all uncooked products of the micro-infected earl's salads, artichokes, strawberries, melons, onions, cucumbers, celery, radishes, turnips, carrots, cabbage.

He will not "grow old" at 60, 70 and 80, as he does now, with the theories of Prof. Technikoff are scientifically sound or not, there is little doubt that man was designed to live to a much greater age than he now attains, and that longevity is even now a question of rational hygienic living. prior in Russia pleasant in the summer.

The fact that all attempts to photograph the interior or the background of the eye had remained fruitless so far, was due to the peculiar construction of the eye. It is difficult to light up the interior to such an extent as to enable one to take a photograph of it, and even in the use of strong sources of light the exposure would require so much time that the eye would have to be fixed, which would mean great inconvenience to the patient. Now Dr. Thorner has constructed an apparatus with which he first succeeded in photographing the eyes of animals, especially cats. Jewelers' Circular-Weekly. Where Love softening waits.

THE APPEAI Minnesota Historical Society White House Palace The Dolly Madison Fruit Bowl, two dancing girls of Sevres presented by President Loubet of France, and some historic silverware. The Dolly Madison Fruit Bowl, two dancing girls of Sevres presented by President Loubet of France, and some historic silverware. Widespread interest has been shown in the undertaking which Mrs. Roosevelt has started of collecting, as far as it is possible, and preserving at the White House specimen pieces of all the china which has been used by the Presidents of the United States. That which makes Mrs. Roosevelt's undertaking harder than it otherwise would be is the fact that there has never been a curator at the White House whose duty it was to look after its furniture and furnishings. Consequently, very many things of value have been broken, lost, or simply dismineered. Of course, in the early days of our history as a nation, life at the President's house, was far simpler than it is now and far less, plate and plate were needed. Design this, it is also together probable that for many years each President, bound with his own money part of it, not all the better grade of china that was used during his administration, and that when he left the executive mansion he took his china with him. Another thing that reduced the Presidential china was the custom, which prevailed until a very short time ago, for the new mistress of the White House at the beginning of each administration to discard much of her predecessor's furnishings and wares, the china of the White Rabbit. Naturally, quantities of the china must have left the White house in this manner. There is probably more: Washington china, indisputable authenticity, existence to-day than china which can be identified as having been used by all the other early presidents combined. This is doubtless due to the fact George and Martha Washington described the ware in detain their wills. Miss Mary Lee, daughter of Robert E. Lee, possesses a greater quantity of filth ware than any other person in the country. Her collection includes many pieces of the Chevrolet and Nissan Brake set, a dugout set, a pair of blue and white earl ear sets, some blue and white earl ear sets, and a number of unclassified pieces. Mrs. Kennon's collection of Washington china contains many other things besides china. She has some fine plate, several scences and cang delacra, some of the furniture and pictures that were at Mount Vernon washing Washington's lifetime, and the old brass andirons which stood in the wide mouthed fireplace of the room in which he died. The Ladies' Mount Vernon association has succeeded in bringing back to Mount Vernon a number of interesting pieces of the Washington ware, among which is a big punch bowl. The National Museum has a large collection of Washington china which the government bought of the Lewis helen. It includes many pieces of blue cartonware, others of the gold and white china set, besides a handsome Neiderveller bowl, and a very old and quaint plate containing an ancient Chinese battle scene in its center. Aside from these collections some of the presidential china will of course White Horse The Dolly Madison Fruit Bowl, two dances, Loubet of France, and be found in private homes throughout the country, and from one or all of these sources Mrs. Roosevelt hopes to obtain specimens for the cabinets which she has recently placed in the White House. It will be difficult to secure specimens of all the presidential ware, but it is believed that those who own such china will be glad to lend it to the White House for the purpose of exhibiting it there. 88 Where the Presidential China is Shown in the White House. The matter of preserving the presidential china has been seriously considered by several of the president's wives. Mrs. Harrison, who was perhaps more interested in American history than in preserving the china of historical value in the White House than any of her predecessors, felt the necessity of placing some safeguard Where the Presidential Chin about them. For this reason she tried to unravel the history of the oldest furniture in the executive mansion, and wanted to place on each side of it a small label that would identify and explain it. She also designed an elaborate cabinet, that she planned to have built in the walls of the state dining room, where all of the presidential china would have been placed. Mrs. Harrison did not succeed in putting her plan into execution, but she did succeed, in restoring many of the discountful historical associations was Jackson Fruit Dish and Candelarab. The Candelarab were presented to Fresno, California, and New York. They now belong to his grandmother, Mrs. Emily Wilcox of Washington, carded pieces of china and plate, and while she was its mistress none of the old furnishings of the house of even allowed to be sold or thrown into storage. One day in rummaging through the garret of the White House, she found the three pieces of a high and classical fruit bowl which was evidently of House Relics. Fencing girls of Sevres presented by President and some historic silverware. great age, but which at that time could not be identified. Capt. Pendell, the oldest employee of the house, remembered seeing it in the state dining room during the Lincoln administration. It probably, at that time, became disjointed and was laid aside through Col. William H. Crook, who has been connected with the critical force of the White House for forty Defective Page years and who has made a comprehensive study of its china, this piece was identified by the late Mrs. Nesley of Georgetown. In searching some old Virginia records she was able to identify the fruit she was selling. Madison china that was destroyed when the British burned the White House in 1814. This bowl now graces the sideboard of the private dining room at the White House, but when another cabinet is added for the exhibition of the Presidential wartime is intended to give the visitor a view of the ornate babywolf is held by a standard, on the upright shaft of which are the figures of the Three Graces, and in its a is Shown in the White House. entirety—bowl and standard—it measures fully two feet in height. Its decorations are in blue and gold, first a wide band of gold, then a narrower curved rim of the blue, followed by a wide band of small gold dots, outlined with threads of blue and gold Medallions of gold decorate the bottom of the bowl and the same design is carried out on its standard. At this time some of the china of eight administrations is still in use at the White House, besides a number of pieces unidentified. Two cabinets have been secured to display the specimens of the china of eight administrations. They have dark frames with glass doors and sides. Were they entirely of glass with glass shoveling the china would show to far greater advantage, but as it is they have awakened the interest of hundreds of sightseers who daily bring the public part of the White House. They stand in the east ground floor hall of the mansion, one on its north, just at the entrance of what is known as the picture gallery of the house. Hanging on the walls near them are the paintings of Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Hayes, the second Mrs. Tyler, and Mrs. Polk. On the upper shelf of the cabinet on the north side of the hall are specimens of the latest additions to the Presidential ware—the Roosevelt set. It is beautiful china in both texture and design. It is Wedgwood, and each piece bears a simple Colonial device with the obverse the Seal of the United States enamelled in color as the decorative feature. The display includes a large dinner platter, a dinner and breakfast plate, an exquisite round dish for chilled oysters, and a coffee and tea cup in their sancers. Mrs. McKinley selected but little china while she was mistress of the Executive Mansion, but the cabinets include three of her plates, two with green and gold borders, and one having a deep wild rose design outlining it. There are also two tea cups and saucers matching them. Like President Arthur, Mrs. Cleveland selected a large number of plates to supply the White House table, and of these there are displayed in the cabinets specimens of what are known as the Cleveland red, green, gold and porcelain plates. Besides these with cup and saucer decorated with rosebuds and a gravity bowl bordered in red. Six plates of what was called the gypsy set and two dainty cups represent the Arthur selection in the cabinets. Mrs. Harrison was nothing if not patriotic, and this was shown even in the decorations of the dishes which she designed for the White House. The margin of each dish of the set bears the American golden rod and Indian corn, as well as the coat of arms of the United States. She also selected a quantity of cut glass, and two or three pieces of it are included in the cabinets with the dishes of her kitchen. The grant china is white French ware with a pale yellow border, and each piece of the original set bears the coat of arms in its border and an American wild flower in its center. Of this set a long fish platter, a large openwork fruit dish, a small compote, a breakfast plate, a tea plate, and small butter plates are shown in the cabinets. Of the Lincoln china, with its red-dish purple border and dainty seal of the United States, they decorate White but Mrs. Roosevelt has put into the cabinets a large fish platter, a tall fruit dish, one of three remaining water pitchers and two plates. This completes the collection as it now stands, but as the way opens to secure more of the historic ware other cabinets will be added, and it is the earnest desire of the mistress of the White House to make the collection complete by including some dish from the administration of each of the Presidents.—New York Sun. A Machine That Talks A talking machine that has created no little sensation is that just produced by Dr. R. Marage, a well known member of the French academy of medicine. It is an interesting device, which reproduces with perfect accuracy the sounds of the human voice, not, as in the case of the phonograph, by merely repeating words spoken by a person, but by a process which is purely mechanical from start to finish, and in which no word is spoken by any human being. The machine is of vibration. Attached to the machine are a series of plaster heads, five in all, representing the five vowels, a, e, i, o, u. They are each a perfect model of a person's mouth, fitted with pliable lips and perfect teeth. Air currents set in motion by the machine are made to pass through the dummy mouths, which are fitted with sirens. Through his invention, Dr. Marage has discovered that the steam sirens Drown in Short Time "The story frequently repeated about professional divers who have been able to remain under water for over two minutes is silly." Dr. Joseph Boehm tells me. "No one can remain under water that long without drowning, whether they are trained divers or not. At Navarino, where the sponge divers are reported to be able to remain under water for a long time, they were made recently and resulted in conclusively proving that none of them remained down as long as a minute and a half. Ninety seconds seems a very long time to the watcher on shore, and it is about the limit of a diver's endurance under water. At Ceylon, where time tests were also made among the famous pearl divers, it was ascertained that few of them remained below the surface as long as a minute and a quarter of sea among the Arabs proved that a minute and a quarter was the longest they could endure without a fresh breath. Not Milton's Not Milton's Great Work When William Morris was playing in "The Lost Paradise" some years ago the company happened to be booked in a Western town noted for its religious tendencies, where theatricals were viewed askance. Companies played only when the exigencies of booking made it absolutely necessary. "What was our surprise, therefore," said Mr. Morris, "when we got to the theater, and were informed by the manager that the house was sold out. "Say, he asked, 'what sort of a show is this, anyhow? Sort o' religious, alit' it? "Our manager outlined the plot to him, and did I see such a transformation in a man's face; then, with one short, powerful expletive, he started down the street on a dead run.

Post, who is traveling through "unknown South America" for Harper's Magazine, writes in the March number of a dangerous ride through the mountains of Bolivia: "We kept on ascending between winding walls," he says, "at length emerging on a narrow table land—the top of the cliffs we had seen from the decks of the Limari. A short distance over the level ground, and then from the farther edge we looked down on the fat, stony bottom of the Vitor Valley—a ragged gorge that wound a tortuous course through the desert.

Thus different phonetic syllables may be obtained which could be used to form an international alphabet. By this ingenious contrivance attached to this wonderful instrument it is possible to see reflected in a tiny mirror the vocal chords of a singer. By the same device, one can also trace their action, and see how, as the note gets higher, the aperture between them becomes less and less, until when the top note is reached it is almost closed. As the force of air current expelled becomes stronger the opening decreases in size. It increases as the force becomes less. The smaller the aperture the greater the vibration. This is how human beings get their singing voices. "There is no mystery about it." declares Dr. Marage. "It is a purely mechanical process, based on known laws of higher mechanics."—Sketch. On the coast of England several years ago a diver, a trained diver, one of the best on the coast, renowned for his endurance, went down and was pulled up so slowly when he gave the signal that he was under water about two minutes and five seconds. He was drawn out of the water insensible, with blood flowing from his nose and ears, and it was only after long and arduous work that his recovery from the effects of that two-minute stay under water was assured. Drowning is a quick death. Even though the water is kept out of the lungs, insensibility will ensue in one minute, and complete unconsciousness in two. The stories of people who have been in the water five minutes being resuscitated are generally mistakes or untraction.

NATIONAL CONVENTION The date for holding the next National Republican Convention, June 21, at Chicago, is the latest of any convention in the history of that party. It will be the thirteenth National Republican Convention, and it will 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, and William L. Dayton, of New Jersey. Chicago, May 16, 1860—Nominees, Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, and Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine. Baltimore, June 7, 1864—Nominees, Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, and Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee. Chicago, May 20, 1868—Nominees, Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, and Schuyler Colfax, of Indiana. Philadelphia, June 5, 1872—Nominees, Ulysses S. Grant, of Illinois, and Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts. Cincinnati, June 14. 1876—Nominees, R. B. Hayes, of Ohio, and William Chicago, June 2. 1880—Nominees, James A. Garfield, of Ohio, and Chester A. Arthur, of New York. Chicago, June 3. 1884—Nominees, James G. Blaine, of Maine, and John Chicago, June 19. 1888—Nominees, Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, and Levi P. Morton, of New York. Nimaphela—Nominees, Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, and Whitewalt Reed, of New York. St. Louis, June 16, 1866—Nominees, William McKinley, of Ohio, and Gar- rison Hobart, of Missouri. Philadelphia, June 19, 1800—Nominees, William McKinley, of Ohio, and Theodore Roosevelt, of New York. Since the Republican party won its victory, it was decided that the president was indebted to its leaders. It was been from either Illinois, Indiana, or Ohio, with the single exception of 1834, when the honor went to Maine, and it is yet to be given a demission. The Roosevelt is nominated next June. 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 the Pulman Car Co., which has been appealed is the intention of the director of the Bureau in view of the recent ruling of the Pulman Car Co., which virtually excludes Afro-Americans from their selling cars in the South and has 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 they feel able to subscribe to this cause, in which every Afro-American person is required. 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, 210 Vermont avenue, Washington, D. C., to whom subscriptions may be sent. In a recent sermon Dr. Emil G. Hirsch of Chicago told the members of his congregation that he hoped to see the Jew, become more self confident and less prone to bow and pander to the ambitions of others in the hope of gaining the respect he means. This is good advice for the Afro-American to take to heart. If the race hopes to have its manhood rights in this country the fight must be made by men as men. The alleged problem is that men must gain their favor should be relegated to the rear. Keep up the fight for manhood rights and fight as men. When the attention of Secretary of the Navy Moody was called to a dispatch from New Orleans saying that Lieutenant D. F. Boyd, who is there on recruiting duty had informed 20 Afro-American applicants that No one would be the navy" he said he would discipline the officer if the report proves true. The rule of the navy is that Afro-Americans and Caucasians are on the same footing as regards enlistment. Lieutenant Boyd is a native of Louisiana and like the majority of Louisiana Caucasians has unreasonable prejudices against his brothers of dark hue. The following was found among the Associated Press presses this week: "St. Louis, May 4—The executive committee of the National Liberty Party completed arrangements for holding a national convention here June 6th. The party is composed of Afro-Americans, and it is said will nominate candidates for president and vice president. It is estimated that he will be in attendance on the convention." We know nothing of the affair, but suppose some schemers are trying to catch suckers, of which it is said one is born every minute. A colored man was recently the guest of honor at the White House, yet the Southern newspapers which so viciously attacked the president for enlisting of the army in the Southern state not said a word in denunciation of it. The colored man was yellow and it happens that he is a nephew of the Emperor of China. That's an important difference. If the president of the United States entertains a colored alien of the country the Southern barbarians how; if he entertains a colored alien nothing is said. All citizens look alike to President Roosevelt. Sara Jane Lippincott (Grace Greenwood) the authoress who died recently at the age of 80 years, was in her prime during the more tumultuous times in the mankind's career and generously contributed by means of lectures to the anti-slavery cause. The four delegates at large to the Republican National Convention from Kentucky are: W. O. B. Bradley, Richard P. Ernest, Geo. W. Long and Dr. Anderson. The latter is an Afro-American. Kentucky is all right sometimes. THEN WAS THE TIME. Southerner's Peculiar Plea for Promotion of Harmony. Dr. G. Watson James, for many years on the editorial staff of the old Richmond Dispatch, now out of existence, tells this story to show how gentle and sweet was the feeling between the Methodists North and the Methodists South right after the war. It was a raw and wet day when the doctor took a Mississippi steamer at New Orleans. He was accompanied by a Virginia Methodist. On board was a party of about 200 Northern Methodists who had been to some important conference away from home. The Northern Methodists hugged the warm sides of the great exposed boilers of the steamer. Another steamer came up aastern, and a landed "The doctor's craft was losing by inches; and the captain had the furnaces roaring and full head of steam on. When an explosion seemed to have been overdue a half hour, the Southern Methodist went out into the cold and drizzle and raising his hands toward the gray sky uttered this invocation. "Law!

L THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSFAPER. 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, May 4. Before Senator A. J. Hopkins left this city he arranged to have sent to his Afro-American friends and constituents several hundred copies of Congressman Ralph Nader'sfrage, and "Should the Fopreteenth and Fifteenth amendments be repeated?" It was very thoughtful in the senator and those who were so Fortunate as to receive copies of the formal acceptance of the senator's kindness. Representative Morrell is an aristocratic gentleman, broad minded and scholarly, which of course also implies that he is a republican—his ancestors were old time Philadelphiaans and were prominent in the history of that city. Morrell is also a newly rich "Negro haters" were dwelling in caves and eating clay for bodily nourishment. The immense wealth of Mr. Morrell is not the result of a day or a year's speculation and his social status, like that of President Roosevelt, is not the result of his words he is now PARVENUE and therefore has the courage of his convictions. Born and raised amid favorable surroundings, educated with care and by those who doubtless taught the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of child, in equal opportunities. In speaking to low-furious们 are treated he said: "It is not alone in the Southern states that the Afro-American is unfairly treated in the enforcement of law; it is also true that in the Northern states courts and juries are often his faults and ignore his faults and ignore his virtues. "The Afro-American, especially the ambitious and aspiring Afro-American is treated very much as the Jew is treated by the ignorant peasantry of Russia. Everywhere prejudice tracks him and defeats him; everywhere he is punished. He is an interior and is discriminated against in many of the walks of life." We must remember that such men have nothing in particular to gain by taking up the "Black Man's Burden" and in order that they might know how we appreciate their efforts we should encourage them by letters of thanks. The Washington friends of Ex-Senator T. T. Allain are glad to learn that he can take an active part in fictional politics regardless of the president's recent orders, but the most distressing thing is that they don't know what to do. A few days ago that Washington was flooded with marked copies of papers announcing the important fact that the eloquent ex-senator from the land of sugar cane would take the stump and make thirty or more speeches for Col. Frank O. Lowden—and we thought Illinois safe. In a few days the district attorney stated that the ex-senator will speak for Chas. S. Deneen, and incidentally preach the political funeral of Hon. E. H. Morris. Has the venerable ex-senator forgotten Yates, Warner and Hamline or hasn't he time to make a few more lightning changes before the election in the meantime the Washington friends of the ex-senator hope that they will not be called upon to send flowers to HIS political funeral. But those who are familiar with Chicago politics whisper knowingly about other times and about other fellows who have been involved in the last sad words over the political corpse of Hon. E. H. Morris. But where are they now—echo answers "on the hog." Miss Ella M. Russell and Mr. Henry P. Slaughter were married Wednesday evening at St. Luke's P. E. church by the Rev. Owen M. Waller. The bride was becomingly gowned in embroidered white chiffon over white foulard and wore a bustless headpiece of breath of orange socks. She carried a dainty finished prayer book, a gift from the bridegroom. Mr. Slaughter has for a number of years been lay superintendent of St. Luke's Sunday school. The ushers were Messrs. James A. Cobb and William Fisher, a member of the Sunday school served as acolyte and Mr. John Burns escorted the bride. After the ceremony the bridal party was entertained at the residence of the bride, where a wedding supper was served. The newly married couple are residing at 1210 North Avenue where they are at home to their friends. Mr. Slaughter is a Kentuckian and is well known in Chicago, in fact in most parts of the country, especially by the "newspaper gang," the K. of P. Odd Fellows, Masons and Bears, all of whom wish Mr. and Mrs. Slaughter many years of happiness and prosperity. Senator Allison, chairman of the committee on the order of business in the senate in a public statement issued April 28th, the day congress adjourned, gave notice that if the nomination of W. D. Crum, to be collector of the 28th, the day congress adjourned, sent to the senate it will be pressed to a conclusion, regardless of other business. The statement is as follows: "The committee on the order of business at a meeting today decided that if the nomination of Dr. Crum is again made and sent to the senate it will be taken up immediately at the senate." The committee on the order of business and made the order of business until disposed of. The minority senators having given notice that its consideration at this session would require a debate at least two weeks. "This action was taken because it was impossible to complete the consideration of the case at this session. It was also the 29th Secretary Shaw presented to the president the new commission of Dr. W. D. Crum as collector of the port of Charleston, S. C., and the president of the university, who attended out at the Treasury department by direction of the president given the day before while the senators who had neglected to confirm were still wondering if he had the nerve to further insist upon Crum's appointment. Odd Fellows' Hall on M street was the scene of an "Annuity Bazar" last week under the auspices of the Teachers College. Mr. Crum said "Native Washingtonians." The open address of welcome was de- livered by John F. Cook. Tuesday evening, there was a fancy paper dress reception. Wednesday night there was an address by Mrs. Maggie L. Walker; Thursday night was teachers' night and an address was delivered by Dr. W. S. Montgomery the hall was decorated with baskets and potted plants the scenes each evening were quite animated. The various departments were conducted as follows: China; Miss R. C. Boston; fancy, Miss R. C. Wheeler; fishing; A. Moore; grocery; B. E. wisel; jewelry; Miss A. Cusher; misal; Mrs. M. Weston; refreshment; Miss M. T. Bibs; supper, Mrs. A. H. Slade. The joint committee in charge was composed of Dr. James T. Walker, president Native Washingtonians; Mr. J. D. Baltimore, Mr. J. R. F. Williams, Mr. J. D. Weston, Mrs. G. F. Meritt, president of Teachers' Benefit and Annuity association; Miss U. V. Brooks, Miss L. S. Chase and Miss A. V. Thompkins. One day last week the president received a visit from officials of the "Negro Development and Exposition Company of the United States," an auxiliary of the Jamestown exposition to be held in 1907. The officers condemned the visit, and John W. J. Johnson, vice president, and John B. Jackson, J. Anderson Taylor and N. T. Goldsburg, directors. They were presented by Judson W. Lyons, register of the treasury, and the president to aid them in every way possible in making a creditible exhibit at Jamestown and in securing an appropriation from congress." They left with the president a statement of facts showing the progress of the Aforesmale American children and the Aforesmale statement shows that the race has built 18,900 churches, with seating capacities of 6,000,000; and that this property is valued at $40,000,000; that there are 1,500,000 Aforesmale children in common schools, and 40,000 in American teachers; 25,000 students of technical professions, and thousands pursuing other courses. The Aforesmale of the country own 137,000 farms and homes valued at $750,000,000 and personal property valued at $170,000,000; and 25,000 lands in the South alone and is constantly increasing its belongings. It owns school property valued at more than $12,000,000 and has 12 colleges, 10 academies, 60 high schools, 5 law schools, and 100 colleges. His illiteracy has been reduced over 50 per cent in 40 years. The president said he would be glad to give consideration to the paper submitted to him and for that he could take it in the exposition work of the Afro-American. THE 'AFRO-AMERICAN AND THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. To the Afro-American in the South: The problem of providing proper school facilities for our children is of gravest importance to us as a race of people. The need of Massachusetts feel that a ten months' school session is necessary to fit their children for life, and a generous public school system answers this demand. How much less can we afford to provide this service? Of this appeal is to force from Afro-American fathers and mothers, from Afro-American men and women who feel and think, a prompt and effective answer to this vital question. Our people must depend upon the public schools for all the education they will receive. Not more than one per cent of the Afro-American children of school age will enter a private or an endowed school. We must ensure the burden of educating the remaining ninety-nine per cent, if indeed they receive any education. It is evident that our progress in the industries, in business, in college and industrial schools, as in morality and religious education, must be accomplished work done in the public schools. To fail here, then, to neglect our youth in the most formative period of their lives, is to do them an irremediable harm. To speak more definitely, I find that after careful investigation the Afro-American children in the exslave states are in school on an average of 22.5 per cent of the only one-third of the children of school age are in school; that in North Carolina, for example, the average school term is only 68 days, and that only 22.5 per cent of the Afro-American children attend school at all. I find that in thirteen of the former slave states 90 per cent of the Afro-American children and any school for as much as six months during the year 1900, taking that year as an example. It requires no argument, then, to prove that if these conditions control, we shall continue to be classed as an ignorant, illiterate people. We must, of course, use the main question, then, is, What shall be done? The first answer is that we pay our taxes, and thereby aid the state in supporting the public schools. Because of their poverty, and poverty in the rural districts, the system is but little different from the city or the large cities. Mere fault-finding with public officials will not educate our children. In the present condition of the public schools; I would urge we all the earnestness I can summon men, women, and men, leaders, parents and newspapers insist that our people shall 1. Go before, the public school authorities and ask for better school facilities. 2. See that all taxes, especially the public taxes, which go directly in most states into the school fund, are promptly paid. 3. Co-operate in every way possible with the public school officials, and raise money by private taxation, or other methods, to supplement the present school funds until the next eight months. Unless the child is not kept in school for at least seven or eight months in the year, we cannot expect him to be educated. A three months' school means practically no school. 4. In connection with the school taxation, we must comfortable school house and properly furnish it. Some of the schools to be found in the rural districts are not fit for any child to spend a day in. In conclusion I would repeat that in the present important period in our history the whole race will be lifted and strengthened, and a general quickening will be evident everywhere. Booker T. Washington. Tuskegee; Ala. April 25, 1904. 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 Boll. Talk of Secretary Shaw for vicepresident has been renewed at Washington. He is a good campaigner and mixer. "President Roosevelt will be nominated by acclamation and elected by a large majority, as the Democrats baned it," candidate who can defeat him," says Senator Albert J. Hopkins of Illinois. Senator Hopkins, in predicting the nomination and election of President Ronald Reagan by majority, said Democrats are without issues and that Bryan's attack on Albany platform eliminates Judge Parker. Senator Cullop in a recent interview says that the Republican party is in good shape generally 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. SCALLOPED HIS OWN GIMP A Hotel Keeper's Son Who' Made Big Money on Horses. "When he goes to bake, little hotel not far from the Central Department de in Detroit, he told his troubles to several of his intimate friends. "That boy of mine is a perfect lunkhead," he candidly admitted. "He don't know enough to carry in wood, and when it comes to 'rithmetic he don't know the difference between multiplication and subtraction. I don't believe he'll ever cut much of a figure, 'less it's on the hay scale, but I'm going to do my duty by him and take him out on a farm and see if I can put some gimp into him." A few years later one of these confidential friends found the father running an old fashioned tavern not far from Kalamazoo. "Hello! was the greeting. Last time I saw him in the country to put some gimp into him." "That's right. Well, farin' didn't put any gimp into the boy, and it took all the gimp out of me and ma. One day when it was 'hour 80 in the shade, and I was drenched from chameleo the hogs out of the oats, long came a fellow that wanted to trade this hotel for a farm, and the dicker didn't take five minutes." "And the boy?" "That's the curiousest thing about it. He coaxed his ma to give him the money to buy a colt. He didn't do nutin' but work on that colt. At the fair he cleaned out everything and the boy sold it for $500 more than the man, and brought home the scrawniest, messiest lookin' young critter ever see, and if man had coaxed, I wouldn't have given the thing barn room. But he worked on that colt just like 'tother one, and he sold it to a Cleveland horseman for a profit of $2,500. Now he's in the business. I can't diskver that he has a bit more gimp than he usert have, but I'm durned if he hain't making it to my one, just the same." WORN-OUT RUBBER MADE NEW. Modern Inventions Permit Rejuvenation of Valuable Product. Worn-out rubber, like worn-out silk, is something that does not exist in these days. Ever since the advent of bicycles and automobiles, both of which draw heavily on the world's rubber supply, and ever since the hundred and one uses to which rubber is put in connection with electricity, the material has become more and more scarce and valuable, so that even the old rubber shoe and the worn-out rubber boot may throw out their cheats in pride at being worth really something. Nothing containing rubber is discarded nowadays. The old rubber coat over which the spring tires of a door may be driven road to-day may some day find a resting place in the soft tresses of a woman's hair after having been transformed into a handsome comb. Even vulcanized rubber, which, owing to the sulphuric process to which it was subjected, was formerly valueless, is now subjected to a process which rejuvenates it and makes it fit to be worked up again for the purposes of the manufacturer. Immense quantities of this product, which formerly was assigned to a rubbish heap, are now treated and admixed with a certain percentage of rubber, which, at the price of most rubber goods turned out by the manufacturers to-day. Old rubber, however, can be used by itself without any addition of fresh gum, the process of treatment being a simple one.—Answers. A Remarkable Watch In one of the chief watchmaking establishments in Zurich there is to be seen a remarkable curiosity in the way of watch or clock making. The timepiece is in the form of a ball, which moves imperceptibly down an inclined surface without rolling. The length of this inclined surface, which is sixteen inches long, is accomplished from top to bottom in twenty-four quadrants. "Game" only relies lifting to the top again. This extraordinary timepiece has no spring, and therefore needs no winding. 'The "hands" are kept in motion by the sliding along an inclined plane—London Globe.

This Bankrupt Stock Sale started two weeks ago. just after we closed our Spot Cash deal with the trustees of the Insolvent concern of Fultz, Weis & Co., furniture dealers of Kansas City. The phenomenal values offered have cleaned out large quantities of goods, but we started with an enormous stock (some $40,000 worth) and the beginning of the third week finds it practically unimpaired in all lines, and the choice as good as when the sale started. Remember That many so-called "sales" are not sales at all as far as discounts are concerned. Remember That we not only challenge comparison with any other furniture offering in the Twin, Cities, but that we ask comparison. Remember That if you have no room in which to store the goods, or if you don't need them at present, we allow you the privilege of having them set aside for future delivery. Remember That it is the consensus of opinion among all who have seen our values and compared them with others, that we are doing more than we advertise to do. Remember That at the rate at which we are selling, these bargains will not long be here, and when they are gone there will be no more like them. So don't delay. Remember That the reason why we are able to sell at these ridiculous prices, is that we bought for spot cash from parties who had to sell. The advantage is yours. We quote a few of these prices.

Mr. William Arthur Robbison of Yankton, Pa., is coming to St. Paul he had studied music for about eight years. He has a natural aptitude for music and not of the common kind, but the classic and he came east because he felt that there better opportunity to study music upon his arrival he precurred the best instructors obtainable, and being both a student and an indefatible worker he made wonderful progress despite the fact that he had to earn the wherewithal to pay his tuition and his living. However he was up early and midnight oil too and thus his progress was more rapid than would have been the case with a less determined and faithful student. The most pleasing performers on the violin in the Northwest Mr. Robbison has not hidden his light under a bushel but has generously donated his services to the choir of St. James church and also on any occasion where he thought he could be of service to public or help along a wicked cause.
