NO. 24 He Needs No Sleep "How is it that some persons want much sleep, some can do on little, while there are still others who can get along without any sleep at all?" asked a writer in the New Orleans Times-Democrat. "Now here is a problem, a solution of which might prove a vast benefit to humankind. I am reminded of the importance of the subject by a case to which my attention was recently called in New Jersey. Albert Herpin of Trenton, born in France, a hostier, declares that he will help the elderly for years, and his steward, accorded to the New York Herald's correspondent, is borne out by the physicians who have at different times treated him for insomnia. "Of his case Herpin says: 'I have been to hospitals, where they attempted to drug me in order to produce sleep, but I would not undergo that sort of treatment. I have given up the idea of sleeping for the rest of my life; in fact, I'm so used to it that I think no more about the matter. I've heard of people going insane that were troubled with insomnia, but I never will. I am well and content with my life.'" It "would seem from that this sleep is not one of life's essentials. Is sleep absolutely necessary to healthful existence? Is it possible for men to live to the reasonable and average Centers of the Brain Biologists admit that psychic centers are localized in the cortex of the brain. The function of language, for example, is perverted or suppressed when a certain portion of the frontal lobes of the brain is altered or destroyed. Dr. Grasset, in a recent work on "Spiritism," holds that the centers of automatism and sub-consciousness form together a kind of polygonal area. In the Revue de philosophie he also discusses the question of an immaterial soul and its relation to these psychic centers of the brain, and he concludes that the two conceptions are not incompatible. Intelligence, he argues, is a faculty of the soul. One cannot localize it in an organ. The psychic function, however, is more complex. It comprises the immaterial intelligence and the expressive intelligence, and it observes it in human life. For this psychic function a material organ or instrument as well as the immaterial intelligence is required, and this organ is the cortex of the brain. Whether the psychic center of the cortex only serves to cloth the idea, to express the thought, or intervenes otherwise, The Horses The Horses of Mexico Although at the time of the conquest horses were unknown in Mexico, that country to-day boasts of some of the finest of the species. The horses of Cuba that were taken to Mexico as well as the horses that went to the River Plate on a similar errand of conquest are believed to have been of Andalusian breed, and Cunninghamage Graham, the famous British horse from personal experience both Mexican and Argentine horses, holds that we must look to Barbary for the progenitors of the Cordobese horses. "Most horses," he says, "in fact, all breeds of horses, have six lumbar vertebrae. A most careful observer, the late Edward Losson, a professor in the Agricultural college of Santa Catalina, near Buenos Aires, has noted the remarkable fact that the horses of the Pampas have only five. Following up his researches, he has found that the only other breed of horses in the Americas is so found that of Barbary." So Cunninghamage Graham, who hasidden the horses of the Moors in Morocco as well as the horses of Mex- Cupid Ever at Work Long ago the silly odum that attached to old-madenship disappeared, but even in the days when popular notion made a spinner of 40 a hopeless old maid, records show that there was no age limit to matrimonial hopes. For instance, so long ago as 1774, Miss Jane Hodgeson of Stepney, England, was wedded to Henry Hulton, of the same place, when she had reached her 92nd summer, and the bridegroom was two years older, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. More remarkable was the wedding of John Jackson and Annie Bates, on March 22, 1798, the first birthday of the bridegroom, who was three years old. The bride. It was his fourth marriage into two years, and 10,000 persons escorted the couple to the church. A youth of 19, a son of Mr. Graves, of Balcolock-Herts, married "Mistress Lake, lakein, plastered, aged "04. April 20, 1731, and in August of the same year, at Bath, Capt. Hamilton, aged 30, married Miss Manson, a blushing bride of rank, fortune, and 85 years. --- arg without sleep? These are large questions and they ramify in many ways when one begins to deal with them speculatively. In the first place much will depend upon the type and temperament of the man. Persons whose mental capabilities are of a low order, whose receptive powers are limited, and who are without the affasit which gives a rich poetic color to the things of this life—persons who are sluggish minded, who feel only when pricked and probed by the sharp extinctions of the struggles for existence, the dumb, driven cattle of the world, must need sleep much, whereas the men and women of a sensitive mold, whose minds are as fragile and responsive as the most delicate of photographers' plates, who catch and hold, and love the images as they fit in variant shadings—the men and women who mentally trace the very finest of the nuances and absorb much of the forces which play upon them—such as they may do on less sleep than persons of the dull, hardened mind, who Napoleon required but little sleep; but, as a great American who was once reminded of the fact remarked, all men are not Napoleons. I have known many men, well advanced in years, who actually slept less than younger and more vigorous men." what does it matter to the biologist so long as he can localize the center? These centers of the brain are as indispensable for the expression of the highest intelligence as for the lowest automatism. Consequently the biologist may endeavor to localize the centers of higher as well as of lower intelligence. This quest, however, is distinct from the study of the principle of intelligence. Hence psychology should not become a department of biology. Psychology is the science of will and conscience. Biology is the science of the cerebral instrument whose intervention is necessary for the regular working of that will and conscience. Each of these two sciences has its own domain, and there is no contradiction between them. It is curious to find that after going from the laboratory to the field, the notion of a purely immaterial to a purely material mind, to a brain "secreting thought" as an electric battery secretes electricity, scientific thinkers are coming round to the union or conciliation of the two conceptions—namely, a brain which is the material organ of an immaterial soul—London Globe. of Mexico too and the Pampas, is of the opinion that these horses are evidently descended from those of Barbary. Of late years thousands of American horses have been imported into Mexico, often thoroughbreds, and undoubtedly the type of the Mexican horse of to-day has changed somewhat through the infusion of new blood. Some one competent and with leisure (and it is indispensable that he be a lover of horses) should take up this theme of the Mexican horse and make a big book on the subject. Anyone who has ridden the wry and long-enduring little Mexican horse will not need to be told of its good points. Not infrequently is he a "wind drinker of horses" and his horse is full of joy and fireless. Given a grassy plain of a league or more, a "caballo briseo," a horse of mettle, the crisp air of the tableland morning in autumn or even in March and a man may taste one of the joys of paradise, for who may say that our horses will not meet us gladly oogly and good country when we are the noble riders and lovers of swift steeds? More than half a century ago, a Yorkshire belle, who had so many suitors she could not choose among them, told one of the most persistent that if he would ask her 50 years later she would marry him. He waited carefully and faithfully for 50 anniversary, and she, too, kept her word. A celebrated French artist, who fell in love in his student days, was told by the malden that she would never marry so long as her mother lived. They waited half a century before they were united. Only two years ago a wealthy monarch of an English county purchased a delightful sensation by marrying the curate of her parish church, a young man exactly 60 years her junior. An astonishing feature of this marriage was that as a girl the aged bride had been engaged to the curate's grandfather, and perhaps it was the memory of this ancient romance which inspired a sentimental regard for her daughter's energy under other conditions might have been her own grandson. Defective Page THE APPEAL. AMONG THE HEADHUNTERS OF LUZON. (From the New York Sun) How a small party of men defended hunting igorotes of northern Luzon and how the handful of men constituting the first expedition that ever entered the land of the head hunters and came back again persuaded the savages to give up that memorial usage form the subject of the following story, which is published here for the first time in the book *Lient-COL.* W.

Franklin Bell he had operated against the Villamor brothers, Blas and Juan, and assisted in harassing them and their mixed followers, including Alazados, Nerlitos, Tinguianos and Igorotes, into surrender. After the pacification of the province he served successfully in Batangas against Malvar, the successor of Aguinaldo, and against the insurrectos in the Cagayan valley. He was relieved in May, 1903, and is now in charge of the United States recruiting station in Buffalo. "Adios, Americanos!" called out the presidente of Bangue, with a cadence of foreboding in his grave voice. "They will come back again nevermore," remarked the larger part of the adult locanos of the barrio, we thought hopefully. diers from the Fifth Infantry to look after the horses, a photographer who took the accompanying pictures, an interpreter, a guide who had been captain in the insurrect army, three packers and two muchachos (servants). It was not an impressive show of force, but it was at least very mobile. It was at San Guillermo that the first mention was made of the Alazados, and that was when the native brought to us one of their numbers who had been attacked by the heathers a few days before. He saved his headpiece, but his body was riddled with spear wounds. The racheria had been attacked twice with two years by the Alazados. On the last day of the year we These were the farewells that sounded in our ears on a pleasant morning on Dec. 26, 1901, as we rode forth from the capital of Abra to visit the wild tribes of the Alzades for the purpose of persuading them to give up their immemorial practice of head hunting. The Iloanos were Christians, after a queer fashion; the Tinguiales were pagans, and the Alzades were savages of the most ferocious type. The Iloanos and Tinguiales had often been visited by white men, and I had visited the chief pueblos and villages during the summer, taking the flag and an escort, in order to administer the oath of allegiance. But no white men had ever explored the Land of the Head Hunters, for it would have required a large force under Spanish rule to brave these rugged mountains fastnesses, and indeed there was nothing there to tempt the capidity of our predecessors. I had made up my mind that there could be no peace and prosperity for the people of Abra, even under the flag, while the head hunters were allowed to continue their peculiar practice unbaked. To attempt to persuade them from it by moral sasion was the reason for the expedition that started forth from Banged, as stated above. Because of the force, in view of the serious nature of the errand, was what excited the pessimism of AMONG THE CORRILLERAS the natives, who gathered to see us start. They had an idea, and expressed it freely, that it would require a regiment, with one or two rapid-fire guns, to penetrate the land of the head hunters and argue with them successfully. I thought otherwise. Those with me were not so confident, but were willing to take the chances. The expedition included Col.

It was not an impressive force, but it was a powerful mobile. It was at San Guillermo that the first mention was made of the Alazados, and that was when the natives brought to us one of their number who had been attacked by the head hunters a few days before. He had saved his headpiece, but his body was riddled with spear wounds. The rancher attacked the body within two years by the Alazados. On the last day of the year we AN ALZADO WOMAN WITH reached Tue on the Buclog river, at the base of the Cordillera Central, and here at 2 o'clock in the afternoon we encountered a band of Alzados. We sighted them at a distance, and I saw them drop something into the bushes beside the trail as soon as they made us out. "They are throwing away heads," observed Col. Villamor. We outnumbered, and had sent back the horses with the packers two days before, so we were in a fix, seemingly. The only resource was to bluff the game through, so we stood our ground. The natives proved to be the president of Sumadar, a barrio three days' march over the mountains, with a retinue of as villainous looking savages as one would not care to meet alone. The president looked even more villainous than his followers. He were bitten and hurted about his head. All of the members of the party were nude save for gee-strings, and all were tattooed, showing that they had taken heads. When we met, the presidente rubbed my palm solemnly with his nose, in token of amity, and his followers did likewise. I promptly brought up the subject of head hunting. The presidente of Sumadar at first affected innocence, but when I insisted that I had proof against him he dropped his bluff and look on a look of entreaty. "The Americans know all," he said through the interpreter. "Say that it has been the custom of our fathers, and we have weaved it, but that we have put it away from us. If any of our young men cut off a head, from this time, his head shall I take." I assured him that I believed him, but that I would keep an eye upon Sumadar. Then I invited him and his band to sit down with us to a feast. They accepted greedily, and we all sat down amicably, but watchfully, to a feast of canned goods, which the Alzados seemed to take as kindly as a city housekeeper. I doubt if the Cordilleras ever looked down upon such a mixed company and such a banquet before. During the meal I asked the presidentie why he had taken heads. "It is the custom; the Anita (the idols of the Alzados) have ordered it. It is part of our religion," he replied. "Ask him whom they are commended to kill," I suggested to the interpreter. "Everybody" replied the presidente. "The strangers. Everybody is a stranger not belong to our tribe." "Why do the young men always keep the heads with them?" I asked, looking toward the part of the trail where I had seen the party throw the objects into the long grass when they first sighted us. The Alzados looked uncomfortably at one another when this was translated to them. Then the presidente replied: "They carry them to show their bravery. The young men cannot marry until they have taken the head of a stranger." "Is it bravery to kill babes and old women?" was retorted. I expected this question would bother the old scoundrel, but it did not. the warrior must go close to the barricade. The warrior must go close to the barricade. The warrior cannot lie to the child. He cannot tie in the forest and wait until it comes to him. He must seek it in the village, where he may be slain," replied the president, as simply as if that question had been discussed in the affirmative in lyceums in his native barrio. He went on to explain that the heads of enemies TATTOOED ARMS. were believed to bring good luck in about all the details of life among the Alazades. To kill and cut off heads before seed time and harvest brought luck, brought the rains and warded off the anger of the Anita, who, he assured us, had a weakness for the heads of strangers. After an hour's talk the presidente and the other Alazados started for Sumadar, saying they wished to take some tobacco to San Jose to sell. We were not so thoroughly convinced of the good intentions of the parting guests that we felt ourselves justified in going to sleep without setting gates, so we took a look at guard duty, and my wife was from 10 to midnight, so that I saw the year 1902 in, watching the shadows of the mountainsides lest in their friendly obscurity our late guest, the presidente of Sumadar, might creep upon us to add our heads to his collection. However, the night passed without alarm, and we were forced to admit that our thoughts did him an injustice. From that day to this I have never heard aught to cast discredit upon the promise of the presidente of Sumadar to give up head hunting. Has Killed 2,000 Chamois.

The story is that the Inca's treasure, withheld from Pizarro and now discovered in Bolivia, is worth $16,000,000, and that the Indians believe there is still much more hidden away. Pizarro received a great sum from the Inca whom he so cruelly treated and then killed, but the Indians missed a greater amount, which the captain saved his life, promised his tomporre. In this country one sometimes hears talk of a great golden sun and other treasure hidden securely from the early Spaniards. One gentleman who has the blood of Montezuma in his veins and in whose family the traditions of the times of the conquest have been preserved, has said that probably fully $80,000,000 worth of treasure from the portions and his followers. When is this sure hidden? Some have said that it was thrown into Lake Coccoco, and Gems to Cure Ilis Many of the precious gems that are so highly valued as ornaments were once supposed to possess curative powers. The amethyst, for instance, was the stone of temperance and sobriety and was said to prevent the waiver from strong drinks and from indulging in too much sleep. Further, it was believed to quicken the wits and drive vapors from the head—altogether a most desirable gem to have about one's person. Amethysts should certainly become fashionable. Pearls were administered in cases of consumption, and, when powdered, were recommended in ten-grain doses to strengthen the heart. Besides these virtues they were believed to fortify the heart and even "a cordial to resist the plague when taken in doses of six grains in water sweetened with manna." Amber was given to cure coughs and diseases of the head, while red coral was said to be "an excellent purifier of the blood and good for the liver." Jasper was employed by the early physicians as an astringent and a cure for epilepsy and stone. It is Marvels of Marvels of the Ganges The bank of the river Ganges, says a traveler, is one of the most picturesque and imposing panoramas you can imagine. It rises from the water at a steep grade, and is covered with a series of terraces upon which have been erected towers, temples, mosques, palaces, shrines, platforms and pavilions, bathing-houses, hospices for pilgrims, khans or lodging-houses, hospitals and other structures for the accommodations of the millions of people who come here from every part of India on religious pilgrimages and other missions. These structures represent an infinite variety of architecture, from the most severe simplicity to the fantastic and grotesque. They are surmounted by domes, pinnacles, minarets, spires, towers, cupolas and canopies; they are built of stone, marble, bricks and stone are placed in various varieties of colors, the balconies and windows of many of them are decorated with banners, bunting in all shapes and colors, festivals of cotton and silk, garlands of flowers and various ex- A. Real Fishing Yarn Seeing some of your fish and bear stories in Maine woods, I must confess some of them do smell a little fishy, and for a change I will give you one founded on facts. You see it was this way: We were fishing on one of the Keswick lakes in the spring of 1883, and our catch had been enormous. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon we heard a peculiar noise on the bank of the lake like tearing of roots. So we went to investigate, and on nearing the shore were surprised to find a large black bear digging up the ground to beat nine of a kind. We lay low to watch, and what do you think he was doing? Why, he was digging worms, and after putting nice, fat angle worms on each of his forsakes he ventured out in the lake on an old sunken log, put down his forefeet in the water and actually scooped out huge trout so thick and Early Tragedy.

A series of subterranean chambers was found, but no golden sun. Both in Mexico and Peru gold was hidden away from the greedy conquistadores by the Indians, who cherished the hope of making a successful rising against their conquerors. That hope has long died away, though much of the hatred for the race of the conquistadores remains in the breast of the aborigine. It is quite probable that some fine day much of Montezuma's hidden treasure may be found here, by a lucky hit. Perhaps it is concealed in an idle cave in the southwestern part of the Sierra surrounding this valley, where it was told among the Indians. Whence has come the gold that Indians living in these mountains, so close to the city, have brought here and sold to their legal representative? There is a mystery in all this, and a greater mystery in the accounts of Montezuma's treasure which remains untouched.

The beryl was said to help "defluxions of the throat" and the sardonyx "to make men cheerful and avert melancholy." The chrysolite was reputed to ward off fevers, while the onyx, when worn around the neck, was beaten with a spoonful of epilopic flies. The opal was said to cure weak eyes, and the bloodstone was often carried by warriors to arrest bleeding from a wound. It will be seen from this list, which might be considerably extended, that the physicians of old had in precious stones a formidable armament to combat many of the diseases flesh is heir to. Whether their modern descendants will be bold enough to try their effects remains to be seen.

SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 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. It will be held at the National 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, 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. Chicago, May 20, 1868—Nominees, Ullysss S. Grant, of Illinois, and Johver Colaf, of Indiana. Philadelphia, June 5, 1872—Nominees, Ullysss S. Grant, of Illinois, and Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts. Chicago, June 5, 1872—Nominees, R. B. Hayes, of Ohio, and Wflam A. Wheeler, of New York. 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 Logan, of Illinois. Chicago, June 3, 1888—Nominees, unjiam Harrison, of Indiana, and avi P. Morton, of New York.

St. Louis, June 15, 1896—Nominees, William McKinley, of Ohio, and Theodore Roosevelt, of New York. Since the Republican party won its first victory, it will be noticed that the first name on its ticket has always been from either Illinois, Indiana, or Ohio, with the single exception of Maine. New York is yet to be given such a distinction, when Mr. Roosevelt is nominated June 22 in Chicago JEWISH NEGROES A missionary who has recently returned from Africa claims to have discovered many Jewish Negroes. These Jews enjoy equal liberty with other subjects of the African chiefs, and are not subject to the oppression. The explanation which they give of themselves in connection with their black skin is this: That after the destruction of Jerusalem, at the time of the first captivity, some of their ancestors having neither goods nor land, they were so poor that they endured so was great that nearly all the females died on the way. The children of Ham received them with kindness; and by intermarriage with their daughters, who were black, they communicated their color to the children of the same came, generation by generation, of a deeper hue, until no distinction of color now, distinguishes the children of Shem from those of Ham. The form of their features, however, are quite different from that of the Negroes in their interesting facts, and create a strong desire that these unexplored regions may be speedily opened to intercourse with the civilized world. Access to those ancient manuscripts, which are probably older than any others now extant, would perhaps be of great interest in receiving the Hebrew text, or in throwing light upon doubtful passages. In the course of an address on "The American Citizen," delivered at the high school commencement at Danaville, III, Judge E. R. E. Klimbrough advised the graduates to select husbands and children to the South held white population of the South to be the burst of the American civilization. The distinguished jurist is a learned man, but it seems he has is not read history aright. According to the best historians, a large percentage of the Southern Caucasians is descended of convicts, in fact, most of the people who left their homes for their country's good. The South is not yet civilized, as is shown by the mob murders and burnings at the stake, which would put a Fiji savage to shame. Northern boys may get good wives in the South, but the Southern Caucasian men may not. Their sex in the country, are not fit to be the husbands of Illinois girls. --- There is a terrible hubbub being raised in New York because it has been discovered by accident that a woman named Hannah Ellas has an infinitesimal portion of African blood in her composition. The fact of this discovery has much excitement, but the fact that she was the mistress of a Caucasian multimillionaire who had lavished over one of his millions on her, caused the trouble. Had she been a pure Caucasian it would have been little talked of, but as it is she is accused of obtaining the favors of the 85-year-old gallant by an old blackmail man languishing in jail in lieu of $50,000 bail. The people who claim the Caucasian Americans should sympathize with the Russians because they are "white" people should read up a little. The Russian population is the most mixed of all nations. Only one-third are true Muscovites. They are Lapps, Finns, Germans, Lithuanians, Ruthenians, Roumanians, Greeks, Georgians, Artarians, Jews and Gypsies. Russians, Jews and Gypsies, are in the blood in many of the noble families. Alexander Pushkin, Russia's greatest poet and novelist, was half Russian and half Negro. --- The selection of Hon. Henry F. Cummings of Baltimore as one of the orators to second the nomination of President Roosevelt is a well deserved compliment to one of the brightest young men of the race.

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, June 10, 1904.—A very beautiful home wedding took place Wednesday evening, June 8th, at the home of the bride's parents, Mrs. J. C. Smallwood, B113 Church street N. W., the contracting parties being Miss Louise Kellogg Smallwood and Mr. Charles James Pickett, of Quincy, Ill. The ceremony took place at 5:30 p.m. on the lawn of a floral wedding bell. Green vines were trailed over the walls and ceiling, and pink and white flowers gave a pretty touch to each of the adjoining rooms. Rev. Bishop, of St. Augustine's church officiated. An orchestra played through the room, on which several hundred guests came in those who witnessed the marriage. The bride was most becomingly gowned in white liberty satin with duchess lace, and carried a shower hat. The bride was also the maid of honor, Miss Gelser Smallwood, sister of the bride, wore white liberty satin and carried pink roses. The bridesmaids were: Miss Otelia Cromwell, wore white mignon, with embroidered an anet (not, Miss Mary Shepard, the chic charm of the Lulu Love, lavender mignon and lace; and Miss Carrie Younger, cousin of the bride, white crepe. The bridegroom was attended by Mr. James Walker, the bride and Mr. Charles Browne, Dr. Lofton, Dr. A. Ridgelye, Dr. R. Stewart, Mr. James E. Walker, Mr. Frank A. Byron and Mr. BenJ. Washington were ushers. The reception that followed the ceremony was served in the dining room by Lowery, the well-known caterer, and the wedding cake was given in dainty boxes as favors. Mrs. Smallwood, mother of the bride, received the guests, wearing a gown of white lace. The bride was the recipient of many handsome and useful presents. Mr. and Mrs. Pickett left immediately after the reception for Chicago, where they will spend the summer, re-entry in the fall, when Mr. Pickett will resume his duties at the capitol. Editor E. A. Manning of the Indianapolis World. is in the city visiting his brother, who is dangerously ill. A hat-trimming contest at the Beacon Baptist church, participated in by a score of well-known Washington men, furnished abundant merriment to the large audience assembled in that beautiful auditorium last Friday. Several of the contestants avowed that they were millinery, and talked gibly of aigrettes, pompoms, bows, bandeaus, and other technical terms of the profession. They found it a more difficult matter, however, to apply in practical use the theoretical knowledge they had so far acquired. The well-known tenor, for example, after trimming his hat in "fetching" style up to a certain point, "killed it" by attaching a bow on top of his hat. The audience was almost a unit in predicting that A. S. Gray, president of the audience, as they saw his hat frame assuming beauty and grace under his skillful manipulation, but their hopes were dashed to the ground when they saw him attach as his "piece de resistance" to a hat trimmed with red flowers a bandeau, composed of pink flowers and a white shirt. In church, evidently intended to cultivate the humility of the person who should purchase his hat, which was a "brown study," devoid of brilliance, beauty or becomingness. Without exception, every man pinned on some incongruity, and conspired ultimately to his sex, and convulsed the audience with upoarious laughter. The first prize was awarded to Mr. Perdue. Those belonging to the "also ran" class included Messrs. Warner, Pierre, Goines, Dixon, Procter, Madison, Gray, and numerous other gentlemen who blushingly retired from the contest without registering their names with the reporter. Mr. Albertus Brown left for Chicago Monday morning. Mr. Brown goes to Chicago in response to a telegram from Mr. Elmer Dover, secretary of the Republican national committee. A delightful private picnic was given last Monday at the summer residence of Mr. Brightwood. D. C. Shortly after the noon party the hour made its way into the woods nearby, carrying with them the splendid repast which had been prepared under the direction of Mrs. Cardoza and the Misses Warrick and the culinary art was well esteemed, if hearty eating is an indication. In the afternoon a challenge was sent to the gentlemen in the party from a baseball nine, composed of Brightwood citizens and after five innings the team was in the middle of which the pitching of Mr. Cardoza and the difficult plays and catches at first base by Mr. William Hawkins, were the principal features, the Brightwoodites were defeated by the score of 9 to 6. Among those present were: Mrs. William Hawkins, Mr. Frank Cheek, Mrs. William Hawkins, Misses Nellie Burke, Julia Syphax, Ollie Booker, Mamie Cheatham, Jeannette Wormley, Learah Lewis, Theresa Lee, Beatrice Warrick, Beatrice Ridgleye, Sarah Johnson and Maude Johnson, Harry Cardoza, Frank Cheek, James Lee, Dr. Ralph Steen, Benward, Dr. Charles White, White, Dr. Charles Green, Clarence C. Wormley and William L. Hawkins. The two Afro-American posts of the G. A. R., Charles Sunner Post, No. 9, and Frederick Douglass Post, No. 21, conducted the exercises at Harmony cemetery Memorial day. The programme, in addition to the music, consisted of a prayer by the chapain, the salute of the flag, an address by Hon. John A. McCarthy, by Miracle Mason Layton, a recitation by Miracle Marie A. D. Madre, an address by Rev. Edgar R. Ricks, and a salute to the dead by a squad from the First separate battalion of the District of Columbia national guard. The children in the Slater public school took part in the exercises. The music committee of the Fifteenth street Presbyterian church presented the laugable drama, "The Old Malds' Convention," at Odd Fellows' I cannot consent to take the position that the door of hope—the door of opportunity—is to be shut upon any man, no matter how worthy, purely upon the grounds of race or color. hall last Friday night. The entertainment was a financial and social success. Miss Anna Gray, president; Alex B. Coleman, vice president; Miss S. Fisher, secretary, and Miss Florence Lovett, treasurer. Miss Lena S. Walton, of Nome, Alaska is an Afro-American lady with a remarkable record of achievement in sports and braved all the dangers of the male sex in her mining venture in our big northwestern territory. Miss Walton has been dubbed the Hetty Green of Alaska by reason of her success in locating gold mines in and about Nome. She used to be a dressmaker in New York, but migrated to the state of Washington, where she did a big business in the mining industry. She fever caught her and caused her to seek her fortune in the far North. Mr. W. J. Calloway gave a dinner at his home, 1732 V street N. W.

Charles Samuel Deneen is a native of Illinois, and a member of the state's greatest gradfather, Risen Moore, a soldier in the revolutionary war, having settled in St. Clair county in 1812. His father, William Moore, a Belleville in 1835, was adutant of the Hon. Charles S. Deneen. One Hundred and Seventeenth Illinois volunteers during the civil war, and United States consul at Belleville, Ont., under President Harrison. The Republican nominee for governor was born May 4, 1863, at Edwardsville, Madison county. He was educated in the public schools, and he graduated from a college where he was graduated in 1885. He is now one of the trustees of that institution. After spending a brief period as teacher in country schools he came to Chicago to complete his law studies. Unable to finish his course at the Union College of Law he moved to St. Paul as a clerk in a law office. Returning after nine months, he taught in the night public schools for four years, and in the meantime established himself as a lawyer. Among his partners have been Judges Chytran McBwen, and in the meantime a member of the firm of Deneen & Hammel. Since 1886 Mr. Deneen has taken an active part in local Republican politics. For fourteen years he has been a member of the city and county committees, and for ten years has represented his congressional office. He was elected to the legislature in 1892, and in 1895 was chosen as attorney for the sanitary board, but resigned when nominated for state's attorney in 1896. He was elected to that office in November of that year and again in 1900. In the latter year he was a delegate to the national convention at Philadelphia. In the Republican gubernatorial primaries in Cook county, May 6, the only contestants were Mr. Deneen and Frank O. Lowden. Mr. Deneen won a majority of the delegates from the county, the vote on the first ballot broke yesterday being 221 for Deneen to 189 for Lowden, with 5 scattering. Mr. Deneen was married May 10, 1891, to Miss Bina Day Maloney, daughter of James S. Maloney, a farmer of Carroll county, this state. They have one son, Charles Ashley, and two daughters, Dorothy and Frances. They are attendants at the First Methodist Episcopal church of Engle wood. ROY O. WEST, Campaign Manager or Hon. Chas. S. 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 Leng Way Off, the Pot Begins to Boil. The Democrats will hold a convention at St. Louis and the Republicans a ratification meeting at Chicago. Former Governor Black of New York will make the speech nominating President Roosevelt at the Chicago convention. "President Roosevelt will be nominated by acclamation and elected by a large number of the Democrats cannot bring forward a candidate who can defeat him," says Senator Albert J. Hopkins of Illinois. . . . Big conventions are not as likely to be stamped this year as they were ten years ago, or even two years ago. Delegates are chosen with greater care, for the importance of the office delegate is beginning to be appreciated. --- There will be just two questions for deliberation by the convention—the candidate for vice president and the vice president, the candidate, that the vice president will be taken out of the debatable list by the time the convention meets. Senator Fairbairn of Indiana and Congressman Mitch McConnell are the most prominent favorites. ```markdown ``` The Republican National Committee will meet at Chicago June 15 to take up contests. The committee does not accept the contests except that from Wisconsin. It is feared that that contest will be carried to the floor of the convention, whatever the decision of the man on credentials or the committee on credentials may be.

He was the deceased, and Mrs. Wright, sister of Mrs. John Hunter, and her husband of St. Paul, Minn. Geo. Young and wife of Freport, and Mrs. Taylor of Chicago, and Miss. Edna Gray, sister of Mrs. Hunter, of St. Paul. The return, of the beloved remains of the father and husband to his little family is like a cut down flower of life. The flower of his young manhood makes the event one of special sadness, for John R. Hunter was hon- ored by all who knew him, regardless of race, as a man of worth of character and of nobility. He up till within a few months, made his residence here with his family, but recently has been married and has been dining car service, running between Chicago and Omaha. His family have made many friends among old and young, and from every side are expressions of grief over the said affliction, lives at the time when they need the most the love and care of a father. The family have resided in Mason City about nine years. Mr. Hunter was first with Supt. Cosgray, and later with Sup. Cohn in the special car. He was a devoted supporter of popular caterers in the city and no public function was cut up to the elite without John Hunter as manager of the menu. He leaves a wife and six children to mourn his loss, besides his wife, who love him and have a kind word for his beloved dependents and a sympathizing tear for their affection. The funeral will occur from the Congregational Church, Sunday afternoon, at 2 o'clock in the morning at Elmwood—Mason City (Iowa) Globe-Gazette, June 4th.

Potter, will be the first attraction that the Percy Haswell and Geo. Fawcett Co. will present at the Grand, opening the summer season next year. The play takes place in the studio of three Englishmen in the Latin quarters of Paris introduces the leading characters of the drama and sketches quickly and in sharp outlines their relationship. "Taffy and the Laird are both discovered to be in love with Trilby and Little Billee is angry because she has been sitting with her brother in a courtroom with the familiar cry, "milk below," and Svegengi comes and makes music divinely" and proves his powers upon Trilby by curing a headache. The second act shows the revelries of Christmas evening, the preparations for elopement and the arrival of Billee mother. The third act shows Svegengi compiles Trilby to dictate a letter to the Laird telling of her intention to yield to the mother's entreaties.

It is the occasion of the appearance of La Swengal, a new star in the lyric world of Paris, who has astonished everyone by her wonderful singing. The act is talking of her. Then appear on the scene the irrespleible Zou Zou and his boon companion Dodor, and they are soon joined by the other members of the merry studio group which had broken up after the happenings. The act is talking of the Laird and Little Billee. They arrive late and are informed by a servant that La Swengal is about to sing and that they must not enter the auditorium then. The Hungarian band starts playing and recognizes her as "Trilby." She sings her "bon" while under the hypnotic influence of Swengal, and a moment later appears in the foyer on the arm of Swengal. Swengal is berated by the three artists and in a paroxysm the singer rushes in excited with the news that La Swengal had made a complete failure of her second song. The last act shows Trilby under the care of her old friends and on the couch. She catches sight of a photograph of Swengal, the old influence is exerted and she dies as the curtain goes down. Miss Haswell will be seen as Trilby and Mr. Fawcett as Swengal. The rest of the company is said to be the audience. The production will be staged in an elaborate manner, and in regard to detail.

Visits St. Paul. Mr. A. C. Howard of Chicago, inventor of Howard's Lightning Shoe Polish, and president of The A. C. Howard Manufacturing Co., manufacturers of standard leather dressings, dies and shoe polishes, was in the city this week and gave The Appeal a call. Mr. Howard's preparations were awarded the award for Howard's handling of the number of 1900 and they are considered to be the best that are made anywhere. The big department stores in most of the large cities handle Howard's goods. He has made an arrangement with the Golden Rule in this city to handle his goods and this enterprising and unprejudiced firm is the best that he now gets orders from all parts of the civilized world and the manufactory at 3544 State street is constantly working at full capacity. This is quite pleasing and is an object lesson, teaching the fact that if an Afro-American will produce an article that is as good or better than others, Howard's Lightning Shoe Polish is the best on the market and though he has "his face on every box" it sells like hot cakes.
