The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1- It aims to publish all the news possible. 2- It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3- Its correspondents are able and energetic. Goes Back to Nature A son of a Portland (Ore.) physician has created a sensation by the startling method of living which he has adopted and which he advises all to adopt who desire perfect health. He advocates a return to the primitive way of living without clothing. Ernest W. Darling, son of Dr. J. W. Darling, is the man who advocates the return to ways primeval. Until a year ago he lived in Portland, but was compelled to seek a sunnier time on account of his health. For the Laat year he has lived on the summit of a hill or the outskirts of Los Angeles, Cal. He does not occupy a house, nor even a tent. The sole habitation is about seven by four feet and two feet in depth. In that peculiar place, trapped in a lover's house, he is an ardent lover of nature and believes that by his method of living he is able to commune more closely with its invisible forms and at the same time build up his constitution, which was shattered by disease. "Good health is the first requisite for religion or anything else," he says, when questioned concerning his novel ideas. "I firmly believe that if we take perfect care of our health, avoiding all accidents or disease, we shall live eternally in these bodies of ours. Every person should learn gradually to live outdoors and to live on natural food—that is, food just as it Flagged by a Cow "Those people sleeping comfortably back in the Pullmans little know how often the engineer grasps the air brake valve thinking that the next minute his widow and fatherless children will be eligible to participate in the division of the Carnegie hero fund," said the fat engineer. "In most cases there no cause for alarm, but my hair has stood on end so often that it has fallen out and now I'm totally blind. "One night last week I was coming east on No. 44, and, though I do say it myself, we were hitting the trail at a rate that would make the Empire State express look like a stationary engine. I was pretty sure we'd come under the wire on time all right, when suddenly flashed a red light comin' at me wavily in violently at right angles with the track—the usual flag signal. "Hem," I says to myself, "another freight hoag laid down ahead, and it's up to us to do the Good Samaritan act and push 'em out. Gettin' a train over this pike on time makes that stunt of the camel gain" through the needle's eye hook like falling out of a hat.

He can take the steps on They "Buck the Tiger" In Butte, Mont., there is a gambling house where the patronage of ladies is the special feature of the management, and where all kinds of women play the good old game of faro, perfectly at home and without fear of interruption. The entrance is from the lobby, and the rooms are luxuriously furnished. Carpets are laid on the floors, softened lights shine over the players, courteous attendants deal and shuffle the cards and pay bets or take winnings without the slightest suggestion of the incongruity of the situation. Here many fashionably gowned women come home in parties or in pairs with桌桌, to quietly venture silver or gold pieces coined from copper by their husbands, who busy themselves in Butte's continuous political war. Women of the business world keep track of the game, and both dealer and player usually maintain a rigid silence, and are always with the simple word "five" or "ten," and conversation is economized to a minimum. And there are schemes to inveigle the unsuspecting that only the initiated understand. Many women of the middle classes are among the most Of Thirty Years Ago She's walking in her garden, with quiet step and slow— Ann does not lose her lover now thirty years ago.

Personally I prefer the fruit of the tropics—bananas, persimmons, figs, dates which have been proved to give as great strength and endurance as does any mixed diet. "The objects in living on natural food are: - To make us more natural in thought and in action. "Second—From an economical standpoint, it is far cheaper where these fruits grow. It is well known by travelers in the tropics that we can live on $1 a month or less. "Third—There is a very decided humanitarian issue in this diet. No animal has to suffer imprisonment and final slaughter in order to feed the fruitarian. The fruitarian will take his meal directly from the tree and eat." Mr. Darling has evidently found these results in his mode of life, for he has built himself up wonderfully. When he left Portland a year ago he went to New York, where he now weighs about one hundred and seventy-five pounds. It was done without a drop of medicine. He rises at daylight, takes a cold shower bath, then runs half a mile or so. Then he goes through calisthenic exercises before eating breakfast of milk. He eats regularly three times daily and always has a good appetite. the tank when we go by and tell me what's the matter.

FEUDS Personal feuds have played their part, and a fateful one, in the history of the presidency. Had not Alexander Hamilton been the unyielding foe of Aaron Burr, the latter, and not Jefferson, would have succeeded the elder Adams; but even more momentous in its consequences was the long battle' between Andrew Jackson and Henry Clay. When Jackson first ran for the presidency, in 1824, the candidates opposing him were Adams, Aaron Burr Aaron Burr Crawford and Clay. None of the four secured a majority of the electoral college, and the election thus devolved upon the House, with choice to be made from the three candidates—Adams, Crawford and Jackson—who had received the most electoral votes. This debarred Clay, who, as he expressed it, to choose between two evils, announced that he had decided to support Adams. But Clay's determination no longer became known as some of Jackson's friends attempted to drive him from it. The weapon used for this purpose recalls one of the most discreditable incidents in our political history. A few days before the time set for the election in the House a letter appeared in a Philadelphia newspaper, asserting that Clay had agreed to support Adams upon condition that he be made Secretary of State. The same terms, the letter alleged, had been of fered to Jackson's friends; but none of them would "descend to such mean barter and salary," as they purported to be written by a member of the House. Clay at once published a card, in which he pronounced the writer "a dastard and a liar," who, if he dared avow his name, would forthwith be called to the field. Two days later the letter was acknowledged by a witness member from Pennsylvania, Kremer my name, who asserted that the statements he had made were true, and that he was ready to prove them to duel with an opponent. Something, however, had to be done, and Clay immediately demanded an investigation by a special committee of the House. Such a committee was duly selected. None of its members had supported Clay for the presidency. Kremer promptly declared his willingness to meet the inquiry, but in the end the committee reported that he had declined to appear before it, sending instead communication to the House to compel him to notify. No further action was taken, and in this shape, for the time being, the matter rested. Soon, however, came the election of Adams by the House, followed quickly by his appointment of Clay as his Secretary of State. Though it is now generally acknowledged that there has been no bargain between Adams and Clay, it was natural that, at the moment, the rank and file so soon agreed to regard Clay's appointment as conclusive proof that such a deal had been made. By accepting it Clay made himself the victim of circumstantial evidence. As M. Roscoe Conkling a matter of fact, he hesitated to accept the place, and finally assumed its duties with reluctance. He felt chiefly determined to believe that he believed he should accept it would be argued that he dared not. This to Clay was more obnoxious than the other horn of the dilemma. He therefore, took the alternative of bold defiance; but in so doing committed a calamitous error. A strong effort was made at the moment to reject Clay's nomination. This falling, the cry of "bargain and corruption" was again raised, and with it began another contest for the presidency, a contest longer and more scandalous than any other in our no- Defective Page literal annals. Everything that rancorous partisan intention could concoct was spread broadcast by the Jackson journals; nor were Clay and Adams the sole objects of the storm of slander. Charges of the most infamous character were made against Jackson, and infamed his animosity against Adams and Clay to a degree that approached insanity. Jackson believed Capable of anything of which the latter could be accused, he gave caveats to the "bargain and corrupted ory," which was printed, placarded and carped upon throughout the land. Clay on the other hand, was unable on the stump to assume the line of dignified refutation; and his language, losing all restraint, became the vehicle of raving wrath. The result of the contest was a signal tri- Alexander Hamilton. Alexander Hamilton. umph for Jackson. Even Kentucky, Clay's own state, went against him, and Adams retired in the shadow of deep humiliation because himself was a candidate against Jackson, he received but forty-nine out of 286 electoral votes. In 1880 the unresteting animosity of Henry B. Payne alone prevented Allen G. Thurman from being made the nominee of the democratic national convention. In 1857 Payne was a candidate for the democratic nomination for governor of Ohio. He conditioned himself in Compass, and Thurman then fresh from a period of buremite service on the supreme bench of his state, had a friend in whose candi- JOHN HENRY BURTON Henry B. Payne dacy for state treasurer he was much interested. Some of Payne's lieutenants, without his knowledge, promised Thurman the support of the Payne forces for his friend in return for the votes he controlled in the convention; but the Thurman candidate for treasurer failed at the last moment to receive the promised support of the Payne following, and was defeated. Payne was not aware of the trick that had been played upon Thurman, but the latter, who scorned double dealing in any form, was quick to resent it. Within the hour the opportunity to do fell in the hands. The convention ended, in the form of a hotel for dinner, accompanied by some friends, and in joyful mood opened wine in celebration of his success. Presently Thurman and a few friends came in and took seats at an adjoining table. Payne bade the waiter carry a bottle of wine to the newcomers, but in a moment it came back with the graff . James Q. Blaine James G. Blaine message that Mr. Thurman did not care for any of Mr. Payne's wine. In evident surprise at this retusal, Payne rose from his seat and crossed to the group of which Thurman was the central figure. "I trust you and your friends will drink a bottle of wine with me, judge," he said urbanly. "Drink to my mo- cess and the victory of the democratic party." "I do not want any of your wine, sir," was the reply, "I told that damned waiter to say as much to you, sir, a moment ago." And so saying, Thurman turned his back abruptly on the man from Cleveland. Payne never forgot nor forgive this public insult. The quarrel thus begun ever after kept the two men apart, and three and twenty years later thwarted Thurman's highest ambition. In 1880 he was a candidate for the presidential nomination before the democratic national convention. Had he had the unfinching support of the old duo that he would have been the nominee. The delegation was solid for him on the first ballot. Then it broke and the chances of his nomination vanished into thin air. Payne was behind the break. The delegates from the district in which his influence was supreme led it and were strongest in the claim which stamped the convention to a dark horse. As Ohio was then an October state and practically certain that he was disastrous to the democratic cause. That argument defeated Thurman and nominated Hancock, and the revenge of Payne was complete. But the most dramatic of all the political feuds of the last forty years, both in its inception and its sequel, was that between Blaine and Roscoe Conkling. The two men entered the popular branch of Congress at about the same time, and both soon became leaders in that body. There was, however, little in common between them save the gift of pre-eminence ability. Conkling made Blaine the object of his sarcasm whenever opportunity offered, and the member from Maine was prompt to retort in kind. Thus the enmity grew until, in the course of one of their many encounters, Blaine, stung to the quick by an unjust and ungenerous aunt, burst forth in an onslaught on his tormentor or which wrought the House into a high pitch of excitement and marked the beginning of a fierce party that ended in the humiliation of Conkling and the defeat of Blaine for President. Here are Blaine's words, and they are a model of exorcism: "As to the gentleman's cruel sarcasm, I hope he will not be too severe. The contempt of that large minded gentleman is so wilting, his haughty disdain, his grandiloquent swell, his majestic, supereniment, overpowering turkey-gobber strut has been so crushing to myself and all members of this House that I know it was an act of the greatest temerity Allen G. Thurman for me to venture upon a controversy with him." Then, referring to a chance newspaper comparison of Conkling to Henry Winter Davis, lately dead, he continued: "The gentleman took it seriously and it has given his sturt additional pompity. The resemblance is great; it is striking—Hyperion to a satyr, Thersites to Hercules, mud to marble, dunghill to diamond, a singed cat to a Bengal tiger, a whipped puppy to a roaring lion. Shade of the mighty Davis, forgive the almost profanation of that locose satire." There could be no reconciliation after such an onslaught, and the battle was to the death. Defeated for the Republican nomination by Conkling and his friends in 1876 and again in 1880, Blaine in the latter year threw his following to his friend Garfield, who, nominated and elected, made Blaine his secretary of state and official right hand. Then came the struggle over the New York patronage, which retired Conkling, and was followed by the assassination of Garfield. In 1884, when Blaine was finally the formal choice of his party, conkling long ago criticized, but the sequel program that his still the will and power to strike a mortal blow. A defection of a few hundred votes in Conkling's home county of Oneida gave that county, normally Republican, to Cleveland, and with it the electoral vote of New York and the presidency. Conkling had wiped out the score against his ancient enemy—Rufus Rockwell Wilson in Philadelphia Ledger. Lion imams frequently perfume themselves with lavender. There is, having attacked a trainer who had taken the precaution of using this Weapons of Modern War The present war has raised, perhaps more acutely than ever before, the question how far it is permissible to go with death-dealing inventions. . . . This recalls to mind the mysterious invention of the great Dundonald, which was so terrible that the British government even in its need and extremity shrank from employing it in war. It is clear that the secret lest somebody should put it to use and literally "stagger humanity." Dundonald, who was as accomplished in chemistry and engineering as he was formidable in conflict, first proposed his device in the early Napoleonic wars, to annihilate the French fleet and fortresses at Toulon. It was considered by a committee composed of the foremost army and navy authorities and including Congreve, the inventor of the rocket. The committee reported that the device would undoubtedly do all that Dundonald claimed, but with a devastating fury that would not use nor divulge his invention due to use it at Toulon or at Flushing. When Dundonald went to South America, the British government exacted of him a pledge that he would not use nor divulge his invention there, a pledge which he kept at cost of forfeiting his pay from South American states. In 1846, when there was fear of war with France, his scheme was again considered by a British committee, which reported that it would infiltrally annihilate a hostile fleet, but that the use of it would be inhumane. The British Government was considered for the rescue of Sobotaput, but though nobody doubted it would do the work effectively, it was rejected on the same grounds as before. So to this day the awful secret remains a secret, hidden Spy on Each Other Every nation leads a double life. Even our own honest republic is honeycombed with dark recesses of policy and what is rightly called statecraft. Our president is supplemented by Mr. Hay, and, as well, by John E. Wilkie, our chief of secret service, who wears, quite properly, a dark air of mystery as he goes about the world. We have not invented espionage and I do not know that we have perfected it, but where, other spies go our list-footed gentlemen go also, and there is in Washington a tolerably complete knowledge of the doings in the underworld of international politics. Brussels, however, is the capital of international espionage, whether it be political or diplomatic or military—this by reason of its central position and the nexus of Belgium. The treasury of France has always been singularly good, as it has need to be. Of recent years, however, the service has been badly dislocated. Both England and Germany have outmaneuvered it time and again. A few years ago a stranger in Paris might have seen a whole city boiling with patriotism and hissing an alien king in the streets. What interest had the Parisians in crying "A bas le jungle Uhlan" to Uhlan? No, the Non- European world. The German embassy had, however, at that moment an interest in creating a "diplomatic The Sand Man's Town Come cuddle your head on my breast, lit- tle and cover your drowsy eyes.

Lord Lyveden, who has traveled all over the world, narrated at a dinner some of his adventures. At one point he said: "I used to know in Australia an intelligent and interesting missionary. He and I were talking one day about the natives of New Guinea, and he told me how one of these natives had stumped him in a certain argument. "It seems that he had accosted the native, and urged him to let himself be civilized." He said, "good, the native asked, 'will this civilization of yours do me?' "Well," said the missionary, 'you will desire, for one thing, to take all $2:40 PER YEAR. Modern War away in the confidential archives of the British war office. Now, it may be that the British government was right, and that Dundonald's invention was too inhumanly destructive to be used. But it seems doubtful if governments will assent to the outlawing of any of the existing engineg of war, or even of some new inventions that may yet be perfect. mand that warfare in the twentieth century should be conducted with the weapons of the tenth century. Nor are we sure that it would be well for humanity thus to restrain warfare within primitive limits, even if it could be done. The more terrible the engines of war become, the fewer the wars themselves become, and, strange as it may seem, the less destructive they become. Hannibal used weapons which would be contemptible by the side of those of the last hundred years, and his army was a mere handful compared with those wielded by Nassau of the last century can be compared with Cannae in destructiveness to human life. Had Gatsby equalled it, proportionately, not a single man of Lee's army would have been alive. As for Waterloo, its slaughter seems insignificant besides that of the Apuliaian field. Nor was Cannae singular. The battles and the wars of old were, as a general rule, more numerous and more deadly than those of modern times. The broadsword and the pilum did greater harm than the sword. So, in a strange way, do deadly invenions lessen mortality, and so, with a strange literalness, does civilization get forward on a powder cart—New York Tribute. incident," and so it distributed money to the servile press of Paris, loosed its many agents in the streets, and the organized "manifestation." This is a single, slight illustration of the utility—the morality is another question—of a secret service which has to do with more than smugglers and colonists and such simple folks. One cannot live for many years in Europe and study what are ironically called "public affairs" without cutting many of these dark trails. International espionage is a huge and complicated system. That part of the world in which public politics is by far the most important. In France, at all events, under the popular tumult of many a noisy election, the wily work of England or Germany has been discovered. Three years ago I was told by one who was informed that the French government knew and was watching the following foreign agents—274 Germans, eighteen Austrians, seventy-one Italian, eleven Spaniards, seventy. Engl's men and thirty-three Russians and Poles, with a fair complement of Americans. Do they do a retaliatory network of observation hardly the smallest minnow of fact can escape.

JULY 23. 1904 It is quite interesting to note the difference in manner in which accounts of crimes and misdeemers are published in the daily papers where the persons referred to are either white or all black, or both black and white, or all white, scarcely any notice is taken of the most serious crimes, except to state the facts. When they are all black nine times out of ten the matter is written up as if it were a matter of course or ludicrous, but where there is a mixture of black and white, the word "NEGRO" is used as a red rag to further infurate an already mad bull. We do not believe it is the province of the newspapers to stir up ill feelings and precipitate strife in the community, but constantly doing by the manner of publishing accounts concerning Afro-Americans. We know there are many criminals among the 10,000,000 Afro- Americans in this country, and we deplore the fact as sincerely as any one can. But crime committed by blacks is no blacker than crime committed by whites as viewed by the acknowledged Creator and Ruler of all mankind, who is no respecter of the right. There seems to be a general desire to foment race hatred; already too strong and prevalent, rather than to olar it and little or no effort is made to learn the true status of a case in which any Afro-American is guilty of race hatred; allegation is gladly, eagerly accepted as true without investigation; and, in many cases, the fervid imagination of some ambitious but, prejudiced reporter is drawn upon. Any little clash between blacks and whites is Race Racism; which is certainly said to be the worst of it. If an Afro-American is accused of any sort of crime, instead of endeavoring to learn his or her name, so as to fix the crime upon some individual, they simply say a fact that it is a man. If a woman is accused of these designations are used with malice aforethought; they knowing that it makes no difference which one it is, as "all look alike" to them, and it is not necessary to make any effort to punish the guilty, but the first one they may get is a man. If a woman is accused of that lawlessness should not be made to suffer for the guilty, no matter what his race, color or creed. The Good Book says it is better that many guilty should escape rather than one innocent should suffer. If there is an honest desire that lawlessness should not increase, their newspapers can do much toward preventing it from so doing by not making mountains out of mole hills and by not making black criminals worse than their crimes, as they now seem to be systematically designed to try delight to designate as "the land of the free and the home of the brave." We very frequently are forced to wonder why some white people get it into their heads that they can insult Afro-Americans with impunity. They make propositions to Afro-Americans they would never think of making to them. They are insulting S. Haight (who evidently insults Afro-Americans) of the fourth H. S. Cavalry, military aide to President Francis and director of the military camps at the World's Fair, having assigned the Eighth Illinois regiment to a position in the regular military camp, learned that the regiment was Col. John R. Marshall, commander of the regiment, asking him if he would consent to give up his assignment in the regular camp and occupy a camp in a remote part of the grounds. This of course Col. Marshall refused to do and the regiment decided to abandon its trip to the fair. The matter was not resolved. The department and Lieut. Haight was requested to resign his position at the fair. Afro-Americans are just the same sort of human beings others are, with the same sense of justice and injustice, right and wrong. They frequently are compelled by force of circumstances to pocket snubs and insult others. The number of the times and Lieut. Haight doubtless is sorry he spoke. --- It seems that Mrs. Mary Church Terrell was the star performer at the International Congress of Women at Berlin, Germany.

Scott, the man who made the rope that hanged John Brown, is dead at his home in Tipecanoe county. Ind. he was $82 years old. It was a rope he had made for Va., that his master ordered him to make the rope to be used in the execution. Scott, with unwilling hands, constructed the hangman's noose and witnessed the execution. He asserted that he was the man who was on the way to the scaffold. Father of 27 Children Trenton, July 19—By the death of a three-year-old son yesterday the number of the children of William C. Pettiford was reduced to nineteen. Pettiford is fifty-two years old. He was once a slave in North Carolina. He has been married twice, and twenty-seven children born to him. Of these eight have died. Alas, Poor Scott! St. Louis, Mo., July 20—W. T. Scott, presidential candidate of the National Negro Liberty party, who is running for the Belleville, Ill., jail, charged with keeping a disorderly house, has been deposed. George E. Taylor, of Ottumwa, Iowa, has been chosen to fill the vacant made vacant by the deposing-of Scott. Democratic Bureau C. A. Hughes, editor of the Irounuis, St. Paul Democratic paper, has returned from Chicago, where he is connected with the executive offices of the National League of Colored League and the Afro-American league has headquarters at the Keystone hotel, and a committee known as the committee on literature and publications will soon engage in the debate over Afro-American voters in connection with a national campaign committee.

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. Special Correspondence, THE APPEAL. Washington, July 21, 1914.—Bulletin No. 8, "Afro-Americans in the United States/" just published by the Bureau of The Consum, is a very interesting and important first authenticated statistical compilation of its kind, showing in detail the result of various investigations conducted under governmental authority. It is to be regretted that the bulletin does not include tables showing the value of homes, other than the number of people in the various states and territories, the number of newspapers, their value, character and circulation, the number and value of the churches and the value of property owned by the numerous societies of our race, but this information will probably be supplied by the Bureau of the Consum, a race, admitting unavoidable inaccuracies, will be fixed to a degree heretofore undetermined. For the compilation and publication of this valuable information Director S. N. D. North, of the Bureau of The Census, is to be congratulated by leaders and those who are interested in the study of the development of the human race as shown by the Afro-Americans whose progress during their forty short years of freedom is without parallel in the history, of races Among every 1,000 Afro-Americans 10 years of age and over, 452 are engaged in gainful occupations in the United States 373,000 every 1,000. The proportion for both: aces has increased since 1890, but the increase has been greater among the Afro-Americans. In the Southern states about 10 per cent more of the Afro-Americans than of the whites are reported as having some gainful occupation. About two Afro-Americans women out of five and one white woman out of six are breadwinners. In 1900 there were 27 occupations which gave employment to at least 10,000 Afro-Americans; the ten showing the largest number of employees are as follows, and in order named: Agricultural laborers; farmers, planters and overseers; laborers, not specifying their occupation; farmers and laundresses; draymen, hackmen, teamsters, etc.; steam railroad employees; miners and quarrymen; saw and planing mill employees and porters and helpers in stores, etc. In the state of Illinois, where we had a total population of 85,078 Afro-Americans in 1900, it is interesting to note that 41,142, or 58 per cent of the 71,154 persons of years of age and under 18 years, 9,725 of whom were females. Deducting the employed we have 29,702 persons, or the remaining 42 per cent, which of course includes the 15,154 children of children not attending school and the men and women unemployed. Classifying the occupations, we find that 25,838 persons were engaged in domestic and personal service. 5,303 persons were employed in busy in manufacturing and mechanical pursuits and 1,286 in professional service. Under the head of "Professional Service" there were 245 actors, actresses and musicians; women; 288 clergymen; 8 dentists; 54 lawyers; 300 musicians and teachers of music; 65 physicians and surgeons; 221 teachers and professors in colleges, etc.; 23 officials (governors and other professional people not classified. 【It is to be hoped that proprietors Snowden and Motts will not reduce the wages of their "Palm Garden" performers because of the apparent oversupply of actors and actresses.】 The nomination of my old friend William T. Scott of East St. Louis, Ill., for President of the United States by the "National Joy Liberty" party is a source of joy to me, as I little thought the day would ever come when my list of acquaintances and friends would include presidential candidates. But in these strenuous days one must be ready for surprises and to read and bear of things not even dreamed of heretofore. When "Bill" was in business in Cairo and lived over the saloon on Commercial avenue, his activity in ward politics presaged his entrance into a broader sphere of usefulness, into the arena of national politics, be it the war in Iraq or a disturbing element in "Egypt." But Bill was there and his presence indicated that there was, or soon would be, something doing. Just why he let Cairo I do not know, and it would be unfair to intimate that my other friend Hon. George Chlisy of The World, but Louis, was a member of Louis, had anything to do with Scott's change of residence, although Chlisy carries politics in his line of goods. The candidate for vice president, W. M. C. Payne of Virginia, will doubtless carry the Southern states. The platform does not contain a financial plank, but it is generally unchanged. The candidate will do that, Mr. S. J. P. Mitchell of Memphis, who will manage the campaign as chairman of the executive committee, is known to fame and fortune as the gentleman who was the author of what is known as the "Ex-Slave Pension Bill" a measure that caused unintended harm. It all looks like the "National American Liberty party" with my friend Bill at its head is nothing but the thinnest sort of a Democratic scheme to capture the Afro-American votes in southern Illinois and Indiana. The trick won't work. The Democrat has, I have a chance, to have Mitchell evidently believe that it is a good scheme to hold out their plates while the soup is being passed around. The regular Democratic party will probably pay the campaign expenses. Mr. John H. Payter, the Afro-American author, whose book, "Joining the Navy," has been placed in all the libraries of the Navy Department, and upon all the battleships, etc., has just received a substantial order from the Navy Department for additional copies.

Mrs. Francis Pelham of Detroit is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Pelham. Mrs. Danl Murray and family are spending the summer at Harper's Ferry. Dr. Hughes will probably be promoted to the vocation caused by the dismissal of Dr. Charles I. West of the Freedman's Hospital. This arrangement will leave vacant the position of second assistant, which pays $1,000 per annum, but it is generally understood that this place will be abolished. The Premier Athletic Club organized Wednesday night, at 1144 15th street northwest. The following officers were selected: President, Billy Peyton; vice president, Frank Edwards; treasurer, Henry Chapman; secretary, Jos. Howe. The other members are George Younger and Charles Brown. The object of the club is to increase interest in athletic sports among young Afro-Americans. WILLIAM H. ELLIS. Bearer of Treaty to King Menelik—Suspected in Connection with Disappearance of His Colleague Loomis. New York, July 18.—Intense interest connects with the personality of William H. Ellis, the who was in the company of P. Keut Loomis aboard the steamer when Loomis suddenly dis- WILLIAM H. ELLIS appeared. That the young man fell overboard, committed suicide or met death as the result of foul play are among the theories suggested for his strange disappearance. Ellis and Loomis were bound for Abyssin, conveying to King Menelia a United States government at Washington and which was drawn in connection with certain concessions which had been granted Ellis by the king. Ellis landed at Cherbourg and declared the treason to Menelia, for the disappearance of his colleague. After a short stop at Marselles, he continued the journey to Abyssina to deliver the treason to Menelia. By the late Henry H. Hotchkiss, inventor of the Hotchkiss gun. When the millionaire inventor died, Ellis became business manager for the widow, who lived at the Plaza hotel, this city. Ellis acted many diamonds, dressed conspicuously and cut a wide swath in Wall street. N.E.A. MRS. WILLIAM H. ELLIS. When Ellis sailed from New York he said that he would cross over from Europe into Africa. He had arranged with King Menelik that when he reached the Abyssinian border he was to be bound by the king's bodyguard. Ellis was born at Victoria, Tex., and lived for many years at San Antonio. Ellis' wife, who resides in Washington and New York, is a good-looking young white woman. She dresses gorgeously. Her antecedents are not A POLITICAL HISTORY OF SLAVERY. A Political History of Slavey. By William Henry Smith, in the presence of by Whitelaw Red. Two volumes, $80. Net. $1.50. By mail, $5.00. New York G. A. "A Political History of Slavey," by Wm. Henry Smith, is an elaborated story of the history of the slave question, from the early days of the 18th century to the close of the Reconstruction period in the United States. Troy is an introduction by Whitelaw Red, which tells of Mr. Smith's career and which gives quite an extended criticism of these two very instructive volumes. Mr. Reld says: "This Political History that comes from having seen many of the events from the inside as they occurred, that comes from having seen many of the events from the entire range of the subjects, and from access to much unpublished information, and Governor Brough, in the records of the state office held during a critical part of the war, and communication with some of the actors." Again: "As time goes on fuller justice is being enforced by the agents by which a free people enlarged the bounds of freedom, to communities and the Anglo-Saxon means for the correction of wrongs and the better development of the people." Gretey first among public educators to Chase and Seward. Stanton and Welles, first among legislators and cannot mine the superior of them all, and certainly the politician of the list, Abraham Lincoln. In Chapter I, the author says: "If there one thing clearly establishes that is that the Constitution is that formed the Constitution; who, recognizances with Christian civilization, inconsistency for which the colonies had contended, and which constitute the basis of our Reformation, which constitute the foundation of that day. There was no state feeling that it was injurious to society in was no sense dependent upon sectionalism, which confidently expected: amniscipation or Maryland, and it is not unreasonable to suppose that if there had been no inhiltration would have followed that amniscipation would have followed in Delaware. Maryland, North Carolina, Kentucky and "Opposition to the institution of slavery arose from religious convictions as to its moral and religious policies. The resistance of those who with Mr. Jefferson condemned it because they believed it was an impotent as his, or suspected to the violence of political forces; while that havoc was not the result of an important part in the creation of a third party. The Society of Friends led all other denominations to the employment of the labor force to the work of Lloyd Garrison, Benjamin Lundy or Chas or moral influence for the eradication of outspoken utterances in the Presbyterian Baptist and Methodist churches at arbor city, especially in Ohio, Kentucky Tennessee." "Some years ago one who had been a longtime contest endeavored to show the unfaithfulness of current history in dealing with the conflicts that have shaped and thereupon a controversy springing Osborne was entitled to be styled the first president of the writer who challenged "the truth of history," clearly established the claims of Lundy or Lundy, or Gundry or Lundy, but strangely overly concerned that his work was strikingly like that of Lundy-John Woolman, like a Friend, who was born in New York and lived in North Carolina, the count of his early life and career, exceedingly interesting and of his own interest. He was visited North Carolina, where he held a lecture and wrote an essay entitled "Conferences on the Keeping of Negroes." which was published, had a wide circulation. It shows that his life was given to him from colony to colony, preaching remembrance. The author discusses with painstaking detail the "Free Soil Movement," "The Compromise," "The Normation of Lincoln, and in their discussion exhibits a knowledge, which could only result from the leading men of those stirring times. Vol. II opens with a chapter on "The Outbreak of the War," in which he says: "The war is the most weak rulers are treated with scant respect. They become the dupes of Knaves, the instrument of oppression; they imperil governments and little disorder to enter in, they are real enmies to human progress." When Mr. Buchanan was brought face to face with men resolute in purpose to disrupt the Union and overthrow the government. He is the most unrestful of all the people who are impotent as he was in fact as the executive. Imagine Andrew Jackson, the executive head of the government in the United States, who is the only leader of the gaged in the work of disunion have been welcomed at the White House? Would they have bullied him? CIVIL WAR TIMES Civil War Times. By Daniel Wait Howe, author of the Puritan Republic, $0.000.421. $1.50. Indianapolis: Dobbs-Moll. The war of '61-5 will never cease—at least in the present generation, to be a perennial and never failing topie of absorbing interest. This is, because he is not a man who was a giant person, many of those giants still survive: its 'hair breadth escapes, and the imminent deadly breach: its long and dreadful vengeance—it is the most unrestful of all the people who are impotent as he was in fact as the executive. Because the final of that conflict profoundly influenced the civilizations of the world, because its echoes still receives the all the various activities of American life. Because of these things the author's work with profit by any one and many incidents of the great strife which has birthed by Mr. Howe, unwritten, is brought forth by Mr. Howe. One of the most interesting chapters in the publication of the Confederacy toward the "Negro Soldier." The author tells us that, during the Confederacy that manger favored the enlistment of black soldiers; that the matter was finally deferred to bill authorizing the enlistment of Negro soldiers, was defeated by but one vote—that desperate circumstances of the Confederacy became so visible that the leaders of the Confederacy, in a draft order—a draft order was issued to force the black soldier to fight under the Confederacy made effective, the fall of Richmond, and the flight of Jefferson Davis was at hand, especially interesting at under its banner. There are other very interesting chapters in this book, devoted and natural, and the author has written a very good book.

Hon. W. T. Coe is a striking example of the right sort of men. A little incident which occurred some time ago will demonstrate that fact. An Afro-American of this city purchased a home near the residence of Mr. Coe. There was some protest among the white residents and one of them approached Mr. Coe and importunted him to use his influence in the community against the Afro-American. Mr. Coe said: "It's character and not color of one's skin that counts, and if he proves to be respectable I have no objection to having him for a neighbor, and will extend to him the right to vote." Mr. Coe has found the Afro-American to be one of his best neighbors. Every one has found Mr. Coe to be a Christian gentleman and a first-class lawyer. He is a candidate for Congress.
