HUNTER, ARMED ONLY WITH SHOTGUN, MET GRIZZLY. Fierce Attack of the Monarch of the Woods Met with Discharge of the Weapon and the Monster Fell Dea-Perfect Specimen of Its Species. A 12-bore shotgun was the weapon carried by F. X. King and a .303 repeating Savage was the armed equipment of its partner, N. P. Peterson, when they were prospecting Homestake creepers at the base of the Sawtooth mountains in Alaska. The men are proprietors of the Nugget roadhouse across the Nugget After a walk of several miles they sighted bear tracks and a little later came upon a grizzly. Peterson dropped to one knee, took steady aim and fired. The bullet struck, but not in a vital spot, and with a growl of rage and pain the wounded bear gave a spring over the cliffs and rolled almost to the bottom, some three hundred feet below, where she regained her footing and vanished among the rocks. Chagrined at the failure, Peterson turned and was horrified at seeing another grizzly, about twice as large as the other, spring upon his partner, Mr. King, and was more horrified when he remembered that his was the only available gun, and as the magazine was out of repair could only be reloaded by removing the magazine from the bear sprang at King the latter, with habitual presence of mind inherent in the backwoods hunter, thrust his shotgun into the face of his assailant, which was advancing with open mouth and extended claws. In the twinkling of an eye the bear had grasped the muzzle of the gun in his teeth and was crunching the gun barrel. Towering two feet higher than King, the latter realized that the only hope for him was to pull the trigger and maybe stop the beast until his partner could reload the old rifle, or until they could procure safety gear. The bear roared and the bear gave a spring in the air and fell to the ground. The men beat a quick retreat, and after covering considerable ground, turned, and were surprised to see the bear still lying on the spot where it had fallen. They waited for a few minutes, in the meantime reloading the rifle, the shotgun being broken at the muzzle left in the mouth of the bear. After throwing several rocks from a safe distance they ventured nearer and found the bear stone dead. The men went back for a sled, and after several hours managed to get the bear to the Nugget roadhouse, and then started for Nome with nine strong dogs to draw the heavy load. It took them three days to reach the Sour Roadhouse, where the bear's remains were put in cold storage. The big brute was taken to Nome and placed on exhibition at the Golden Gate hotel. It is a perfect specimen of the grizzly, and the skin is a beautiful one. The bear, deembroiled, weighs nearly 600 pounds. The skin was sold for $125, and the meat was purchased by local restraint officials carefully. A remarkable thing was the enormous power of the jaws shown by the deep indentations made in the barrel of the gun by the bear's teeth, not only the barrel being bent, but marks were made in the steel connecting pieces about one-fourth of an inch deep. Moustaches and Crimes Frank Richardson, writing in the Cornhill magazine, insists on the dishonesty of hiding the telltale upper lip. "Of all the great criminals of our day," he says, "I can recall none who dared to practice with a naked face. Drs. Lamson and Neill Cream judiciously concealed as much of their physiognomy as might be. Fowler, who murdered by night at Muswell Hill, and Jabez Balfour were bearded men. Wahnwright wrote the 'moustachios' of his period. James Carnam Reed and Deeming, and Bennett of the 'Bootlace' murder were possessed of mouths that prudence compelled them to take the advice. "The blue burglary jowl is a fantasy of the novelist. No burglars go about with it. face that in itself amounts to a previous conviction. Then he is in jail matters are different, for our prison authorities wisely decree that the convict's face shall be shaven and his head be shorn. They at least insist on seeing the man as he is." Loubet Drives III-Matched T Loubet Drives Ill-Matched Team. President Loubet of France has offended fastidious Paris by upsetting traditions and driving on the boulevard with a team of ill-matched horses, one of which was black and the other white. Not only were the steeds matched in color, but one a band and a half taller than the other. The effect was so startling that, it is said, the president's insistence upon it wore out the patience of the master of ceremonies. Lobsters killed by Chewing Tobacco. An old sea captain at Bath is responsible for this tale: A ship years ago was wrecked and went to pieces on the rocks of the Isle of Anglesea. The ship was laden with tobacco in bales and the island is or was a famous fishing ground for lobsters. The lobsters found the tobacco, and with their peculiar vornidity began chewing the weed. Soon the shores of the island in that vicinity were strewn with dead lobsters, killed by their practice of man's vice—Lewiston (Me.) Journal. Old-Fashioned Method of Measuring Medicine Still Practiced Medicine Still Practiced. A man went into a New York drug store and asked the clerk for a remedy for indigestion. The clerk sifted a pink powder into the scales. "Take a heaping dimple of this," he said. "It will bring you around all right." The man's astonishment was almost powerful enough to drive away the indigestion, without the aid of the powder. "A dimeful" he ejaculated. "What kind of a new-fangled system of measurement is that you here?" "It isn't new," replied the clerk. "And it is very simple. Just take a dime and pile as much of this powder on it as will stick. That will be the proper dose. You couldn't get any more exact if you measured for half an hour with scales and spoons." "Well," said the customer, "this is a new one on me." He proceeded to measure out a dose of the pink powder. As he did so a man standing close beside him sighed reminiscently. "It makes me feel about ten years younger to see you do that," he said. "They used to measure medicine that way when I was a kid. I supposed modern appliances had driven all those old methods of measurement out of the market. "All, all," said the clerk. "There are lots of places where they still take medicine by the dimeful." Odd Names for Newspapers. The strangest thing about Russia's popular papers is their curious names, Strekosa (grasshopper), Babotchka (Butterfly), Svistum (The Whistler), Vetr (The Wind), are some names of popular publications.

Russian popular papers have, as a rule, small • circulations. Like the daily papers, they are subject to the censor, who stops the sale for a time or altogether if, in trying to be funny, anything offensive to the authorities is allowed to appear. Many papers are subject to what is known as the "preventive censure": that is, the editors must submit everything to the authorities before publication. A censor who allows any serious anti-governmental hint to escape is dismissed from his post for neglect; but this does not prevent the editor also being punished. Obeyed Request Literally. A few years ago a well-known lawyer remitted, in settlement of an account to the publisher of a paper in the West, a $2 bill, which was returned with the brief statement: "This note is counterfeit; please send another." The papers passed before bearing from the lawyer again, when he apoliorized for the delay, saving: "I have been unable till now to find another counterfeit $2 bill, but hope the one now inclosed will suit, professing, at the same time, my inability to discover what the objection was to the other, which I thought as good a counterfeit as I ever saw." Destroying an illusion. "My, how the times have changed," said the old soldier, with a thoughtful smile, as he looked at the picture of a battle between the Japs and Russians which, adorned the front page of a yellow journal. In this case the startling headline had the additional information that the picture was drawn "from the cabled description." To take to this picture" continued the veteran, "the officers go into the field in fatigue uniform and all of 'em wear their swords on the right side." Praps that's the Jap way of fighting, but I am rather inclined to believe that the cable must have gotten a kink in it when the description was sent." The fishing tackle shops in the Atlantic coast cities are just now looking forward to the busy bluefish season. All these places blossom out with huge steel hooks and great braided lines, heavy enough to hang a man, when the "blues have struck in." The hooks, almost big enough to serve as meat hooks in a butcher's shop, have their shanks set in oval blocks of tin or lead, known as squids; or the more pretentious ones are set in cigar-shaped blocks of cedar wood, or even in pieces of mother-of-pearl carved to resemble a fish.

Recently his mother no longer that at bedtime every night he laid his little boots to another upon their sides instead of setting them upright. "Please tell me why you always place your boots in that way," she said. "Why," answered the little boy, "it's because they must be tired walking so much all day. I lay them sideways so they can rest." - Philadelphia Led Japan possesses over 2,000 newspapers.

The Convict's Paper at Sing Sing - BY ITS FORMER EDITOR The convicts of the state of New York confined, in the four state prisons, one reformatory and two asylums for the criminal insane, number all told about 3,700 men and woman, and that their literacy is something like $3 more or not strangely better have a newspaper is called the Star of Hope, is published bi-weekly in Sing Sing prison, is of twenty-four pages and is written, edited, printed and published by the convicts themselves. It has just passed its fifth birthday, and it may be said to have left the experimental stage and enforced the permanent factor into the education, institution, and advancement of its convict clientele. At present its editor is a prisoner who was a broker of Wall street, a man of scholastic training and a wide experience in the world, from which he has, however, been withdrawn for ten years—a writer of vigor and force and a man of great intellect, him for editorial duties of a much higher class than those to be performed in the chair of the Star of Hope. Nevertheless, his abilities are by no means misplaced. For some years I shared his responsibilities and cares and became familiar with all the affairs of the paper, and although my employments were limited, my employments, no duties that I ever discharged in these relations ever gave STA Vol VI.

I say this at the outset, for incongruous as a free press may appear as part of a penal system, the fact remains that in its operation and influence the Star of Hope has become more important as a reformatory influence than the schools and chapel exercises and the management of state prisons in New York, in regard to the paper as a instrument in their system of discipline and reform whose value cannot be overestimated. Although the paper is printed by men in penal servitude, it is nevertheless distinctively a member of the boasted free press. It is absolutely under no restraint except the sense of right and decency which its editors may entertain, and as these men are chosen for their capacity, good conduct and intellectual superiority, they have fulfilled the expectation of the superintendent of prisons and brought forth a paper of reasonable conservatism which teaches good morals, clean speech, truthfulness, the common sense with which discipline and the rule of making a strong effort to fit possible—and at any rate the importance of keeping out of prison after discharge. Naturally a good deal of hypocrisy creeps into the contributed columns without any editorial demur because the paper aims to be representative of convict thought and aspirations, and to bar the Pharisee is to suppress one of the most serious life crimes. But no hypocrisy nor pretense finds expression on its editorial page, and as the prison authorities never find criticism of their official acts, which of course would not be permitted, they look as vainly for any kind of commendation or praise. Not that subjection to such punishment prison administration are not dealt with by the writers in all departments. For exam- The Synthesis of Crime ple, a few years ago a bill was introduced into the state legislature providing for the organization of a board of parole which should release, under certain restrictions, convicts who conformed to its provisions at the expiration of one-third of their term of service. The board is a Kick of Hope, which, of course, warmly supported the cause of parole. The bill went with laggard movement through its several readings in both houses and lingered long on the governor's table before he affixed his official signature to make it operative, but its progress was always under the spur of the convicts' paper, which urged its advantages so strongly and so exhaustively that the assembly by the supporters of the bill as containing the most convincing arguments in favor of the act. As a matter of fact the Star of Hope gained the credit of securing this ameliorative legislation, although, of course, such an influence as it extended was singular and largely subjective. The discussion of the bill the prisoners were able to show that intellectually at least they were competent to appreciate its advantages. It is needless to say they pleaded their moral fitness with vigor. As the Star of Hope sought to rule our selection of matter R of H G PRISON, OSSINING, N. Y., A ne Synthesis of Cr with a view to making the paper representative of the average mentality of the prison. But pride in its better qualities worked out the selection of the fittest at the end, and we put our best foot forward every time at the expense of our creed. As a result the Star of Hope is indicative of the best mentality of the prison population. Contributors were abundant by the wrote on every subject under the sun. As the convict is, in fact, a microcivilized whole of a highly civilized community numbering nearly 8,000,000 souls, and include men and women of every profession and trade from nearly every country and clime, this was to be expected. So we received translations of Homer, with glossary notes, from university men; the odes of Horace done into English in faultless iambics, and printed speculations upon the realm opened by the discovery of radium subject to the discovery of college classes on chemistry, to subject amide, and the educational value of the paper in the almost remotest from the first in the steady improvement in all classes of contributions. At first a large body of contributors seemed to think that literary production meant poetry, and it is no exegimation to say we received for every issue of the paper as many as 1,000 lines of verse. Gradually we were able to check this affluence and also to spread an intelligent conception of the poorest kind of poetry we would offer to our readers in every issue one or more very creditable compositions of verse. These differences are the common lot of the editorial guild, however, and I shall try to tell something more characteristic of the convict publication. Its composing room contains some forty or fifty cases for the typesetters, and a section of it is occupied by a Gordon power press with a capacity of 4,000 sheets; the siderable job is done in the same manner as its business is conducted by the convicts themselves. The foreman is a young lifer, Eddie Burnz, who never excepted a type nor saw a press except through a window till he came to prison. He is now an accomplished printer and has charge of all the work from the time the copy leaves the editorial desk until the printed papers are folded and addressed ready for distribution. A uniformed keeper is in charge of the disciplinary authority is an uncertain factor and depends largely upon his own tact. The editors, two in number, occupy a room by themselves, with desks and swinging chairs, files of papers and a reference library, a carpeted floor and all the conveniences and comforts that any editorial corps could expect in a well appointed office. They are not interfered with in any way by the keepers, except that they must conform to the general routine of the prison and be locked in a cell at night. In their editorial work they are pot at all hampered. The page proofs of the book are not available for censorship. He is expected to excise any objectionable matter He does not, however, presume to even suggest what shall be printed, nor is he consulted in any other way. If he preach a sermon that is particularly good and interesting, the Star of Hope occasionally will report it, but no other attention is paid to him. Religious or religious exercises, such as Bible class meetings receive any notice whatever. The efforts of the Star of Hope makes to point out that, whatever set back they may have had in life, some of its prizes are still open to them meets with the most cordial acceptance. The social conditions in this country are such that ex-convicts who have made successes in business are not infrequent. Hundreds and hundreds of men who have "served time" have redeemed themselves in a very large measure. One of the first baccalaureologists in the world is an ex-convict from Sing Sing and a man who is a ruler in the domain of high finance served a sentence for felony. Such OPE APRIL 0, 1904.

The characters who are have before he wins the honor for intoxication often believe it will justify the justice with a read word or a plausible excuse.

Casper Whitney writes in regard to his hunting expedition in the far north of Canada: "One of the first lessons I learned was to keep my face free from covering, and also as clean shaven as was possible under such circumstances. It makes me smile now to remember the elaborate hood arrangement which was knitted for me in Canada, and which then seemed to me one of the most important articles of my equipment. It covered the entire head, ears and neck, with openings only for eyes and mouth, and in town I had viewed it as a great find; but I threw it away before I got within 1,000 miles of the barren grounds. The reason is obvious: My breath turned the front of the hood into a sheet of ice before I had run three miles, and as there was to it, the chute, it thawed it, the cushion it was an impossible thing to wear in that region and a poor thing in any region of low temperature. After other experiments, I found the simplest and most comfortable headgear to be my own long hair, which hung even with my jaw, bound about just above the ears by a handkerchief, and the open hood of my caribou-skin capote drawn forward over all." MISCHIEF BY CAPE JACKALS. Yearly Loss from These Animals Estimated at $7,500,000. During a discussion on jackals in the Cape house of assembly a few days ago Mr. Rubidge gave figures based on intelligent and recorded observation of the depreciations caused by the loss. In one year the losses caused to his stock amounted to 10 per cent. Estimating on the number of the flocks in 1895, he worked gradually up to a yearly loss of $7,500,000, directly traceable to jackals. With that as a basis the Cape Argus works as follows upon Mr. Rubidge's figures. "Allowing for a loss of 5 per cent, in the annual destruction of small stock would be $85,000, equal to $1,800,000." "Next there came the estimate of loss caused to the veldt and to the flocks by the kraaling system. If there were no jackals the flocks would run free at night. Mr. Rubidge estimated the loss from the enforced kraaling at $2,125,000. But that does not end the indictment against the jackal. The kraaling system takes 100 flocks, from 90 per cent, to 60 per cent, and Mr. Rubidge estimated the loss from this cause at $2,250,000 — South Africa. The Stupidest Nation. The wanderer leaves Corea with a feeling of having seen how the stupidest nation of created men can also be the happiest; or, could, were conditions only a trifle more propitious. By the evil star of the Coreans it has been arranged that their land is to be the Switzerland of the far east—a territory to be fought over forever, but one that no nation can either itself possess or allow any other to hold. Corea is the victim of her own geographical advantages. And the impressionist carries away with him the picture of a people indomitable patient, dumb with the callousness of despair, that yet has the secret of happiness in its prowess. The most unsatisfactory material: a nation stunned by the oppression of the ages out of all moral and mental vigor—yet still stout, and capable, perhaps, of both—a nation of sturdy, apathetic sheep whose silent indifference beneath the driving lash of the world may some day be found unexpectedly to have its limits or its possibilities—The Living Age. What It Meant. Samuel J. Elder's Yale stories are always in demand at the reunions of the Yale alumni in Boston, and one which slipped by at a quiet everyday lunch recently is particularly good. "A classmate of mine," remarked Mr. Elder, "has a particularly bright lad now in the university, in whose progress I have been a little interested. His father and I lunch together quite frequently, and the father, before sending the son his quarterly allowance, always has the boy send in an estimate of the coming three months, the expenses of which are closely needed. A short time ago, while going over the items, the father read one which surprised him: 'Charity, $45.' "What do you think of the rascal, Sam? What does he mean by that item?" "Oh, that's the charity that covereth the 'multitude of sins,' I had to reply."

Indians, who live along the banks, can be hired for a trifle to retrieve the birds, and they will muster an average shipment of salmon himself. The quail that inhabit the mossy forests, a little way back from the river, are there by millions. Plenty of deer of the large 'mule' variety are here—their antlers being only second to the elk.

Natives' Description of the "Waito- reke" Causes Belief That a Creature Supposed to Be Extinct May Be Found in That Country. New Zealand is such a wonderland of animals and reptiles and birds today, and has been such a wonderland of them in the past, that the scientific world is ready to believe that the waito- reke really exists there and explorers are hunting for it now. Is there a waitoreke at all? Zoologists all over the world are willing to pay a big price for the answer to either or both of these questions. If there is such a thing, it is the most wonderful beast yet known—more wonderful even than the duckbill, the four-footed, egg-laying furred duck, the duck's beak. Like the duckbill, the waiterkee is—that is, if it "is" at all—a native of the Australian continent. The stories about it come from the folk of interior New Zealand. The New Zealand natives declare that it is a mammal that dwells in the water. Its home is said to be in the deep mountain lakes and, unlike such water-loving mammals, as the otter or the seal, it swims in the water like a fish and goes ashore only for short periods. But, say these natives, it is in no way like a seal. It has no wobbed feet, and furthermore, it crawls ashore andays eggs like a turtle or a lizard. They add a further strange statement; it is that this, wonderful beast has mighty jaws, long and slender, armed with saw-like teeth. Only a few years ago science would have dismissed the story as a mad fable. But to-day so many strange stories have been proven true that zoologists are not in a hurry to discredit this one. With Sir Harry Johnston discovering the okapi, which turns out to be a creature that was thought to have died out before the dawn of history; with men searching in Madagascar for the giant bird aepyornis, also dismissed years ago as being an extinct monster with the growing belief that a form of prehistoric giant sloth is alive in South America, men of science are almost ready to believe that the wattereye may turn out to be a form of prehistoric linkanimal—some link between beasts and reptiles. The description of the long, slender, terrible snout with sawlike teeth makes them think of the long, slender snout of the lethyocaurus. The fact that this wristoreke of the seashell eggs, adds to the resemblance A MOUNTAIN-AIR CURE. Health Resort in the Alps Claimed to Work Wonders. The summer season at St. Moritz, a health resort high among the Alps, is short—a scant two months—when the temperature is mild. But even in August snow sometimes falls in the valley at night. (The sun is the life of St. Moritz. The moment it appears over the mountain tops it assails the frost and the cold of night like a devouring flame. It sends the mercury in the thermometer chasing up to the tube 20 degrees in an hour. Where had been snow at midnight ladies in lawn dresses and men in cool flaniels are lounging about at night. Then late in the afternoon comes another change. The life-giving sun drops behind a mountain peak. Instantly a chill shivers through the valley and it is winter again. There are springs at St. Moritz and baths, but they are not patronized with the regularity of lowland resorts. Mountain climbing is more beneficial to the muscles than massage. Long drives through the valley, excursions to glaciers and diligence journeys over the passes take the place of doctors. Outdoor life is the cure of St. Moritz.—Everybody's Magazine.

Just as "Twain" finished, he turned to the young woman who had not laughed and, in an undertone: "You are the only sensible one here. I have not said a single amusing thing.

By King Menelik of Abyssinia—Gets Lions for President Roosevelt Rome, August 2. A telegram from Dijonville states that King Menelik of Abyssinia requested W. H. Ellis, the companion of Frederick Kent Loomis, with great honors and gave him some extraordinary presents to be conveyed to President Roosevelt. These presents include some young lions. Ellis accompanied Frederick Kent Loomis when the latter disappeared from the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II near Plymouth. When Loomis could not be found Ellis proceeded to Abyssinia without him. HOW ANTHRACITE WAS MADE. Scientific Explanation of the Difference in Coal The peculiarity of the Pocahontas coal is to be found in its low content of ash and volatile matter, as well as of sulphur and other impurities, and the resultant high percentage of fixed carbon with the high calorific value that follows upon such conditions. The Pocahontas vein is thought to correspond to the anthracite vein of red ash coal of the Lykens valley, near Pottsville, Pa. The geological explanation of the difference is that the anthracite bed was subjected to a more thorough coking process under pressure than the Pocahontas portion of the vein, while the latter pwes its own lack of volatile matter to the fact that it was subjected to heat under pressure for a more protracted period than the bituminous coals of western Pennsylvania and Ohio. Ireland ```markdown ``` "If I could be absolutely assured of my election as president by turning my back on the principles of human liberty as enunciated by Abraham Lincoln, I would be incapable of doing it and unfit for president if I could be capable of doing it. I do not expect to be elected president by those who would close the door of hope against the Afro-American as a citizen. If I am elected to this high office it must be on my record as the executor of the law without favors or discriminations." This was President Roosevelt's comment on the speech of Senator Gorman attacking him for receiving Booker T. Washington as his guest at dinner at the White House. 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. 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, D. C. August 4. —The industrial condition of our race is undergoing a change that invites the serious consideration of our educators and leaders. While our progress along some lines of industry is very gratifying, yet there are indications that we are not holding our own in several important occupations and that in others we are but barely* keeping a pace that will save us from a complete shut out at a time not far distant. For instance, the number of Afro-American carpenters and joiners has decreased from 22,581 in 1890 to 21,133 in 1900, the decrease being the number of white carpenters and joiners, but the per cent of decrease is smaller. The occupation of blacksmith is another for which the number of our race reported was less in 1900 than in 1890, the decrease being 8.1 per cent. Meantime the number of white blacksmiths increased 8.8 per cent. The occupation of seamstress stands with of carpenter and joiner and of blacksmith as one of the three important occupations in which the number of Afro-American breadwinners decreased between 1890 and 1900. It is to be regretted that our race cannot or is not holding its own in these very important occupations and it might be well to inquire into the cause. There was once a time, not long since, when the Afro-American barber and hairdresser was supreme, but he, too, is passing, and it is his own fault. The first investment made by the average Afro-American barber is his last. His furniture and fixtures forever the same. The money he makes is never put back into his business by lay improvement is actually starved and as a result the patrons of the shop leave one by one and give their support to the barber who is up to date, whose place of business appears new, fresh and attractive. With the "brother in black" it's all going out and nothing coming in. In 1900 there were 19,942 Afro-American barbers and hairdressers, an increase of 14.1 per cent since 1890. During the same period the number of white barbers and hairdressers increased at the alarming rate of 64.5 per cent. The handwriting is on the wall, brother, and the referee will soon count you out unless you get busy. Another instance; In 1900 there were 220,104 laudersers and laudresses, an increase during the decade of 43 per cent. Meantime the white laudersers and laudresses increased 87 per cent, or just about twice as fast as the Afro-American. As jantors and sextons, housekeepers and stewards and fishermen and oystermen the percentage of increase in the number of persons occupied does not compare favorably with the increase shown by the whites who are engaged in the same occupations. There is nothing in the argument that the taking up of NEW labor, trades and professions accounts for our bad showing in the occupations indicated above. The whites are taking up the new and hanging onto the old lines of industry. There appears to be something wrong, brother, and we would better pay a little more attention to industrial conditions, because much, if not all, depends upon our ability to hold our own in the broad fields of industry. This is an industrial age and it's a case of now or never. Among the musical celebrities who will visit this country during the coming season none will have a greater interest for Washington than S. Coleridge Taylor. The choral society here which bears his name, composed of over 200 Afro-American singers, is preparing to entertain him, as he will be its guest while in this city. Two concerts will be given in his honor in Convention Hall, on November 16th and 17th. About one-third of the hall will be sacrificed, and a partition of sounding-board will be placed in the heart of the stage, so as to bring all sets used intoearing distance of the singers. The people of the great Northwest will doubtless be pleased to know that they may have an opportunity to see and hear this great composer, as he is planning to visit Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul while on this his first visit to the United States. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur S. Gray are visiting their home in Atchison, Kansas. The new Freedmen's Hospital will be three stories in height, the wings running from each side of the administration building, and having an L in addition to the frontage. The administration building will contain the operating room, offices and other departments, while one of the wings will be for male and the other for female patients. Congress has appropriated $300,000 for the erection of the hospital. A party consisting of Mr. and Mrs. John Nalle, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Arnold, Mrs. Waring, the Misses Blanche Nalle, Lottie Griffin and Messrs. James Walker and Wm. Hawkins are spending a few weeks on the large and beautiful farm of Mr. McAbee in Maryland. In order to avoid the Jim Crow car law the party drove about fifteen miles. Miss Eva Ross is spending her vacation at Asbury Park, New Jersey. The percentage of Afro-American families occupying owned homes is the greatest in Oklahoma and Indian territories and the least in the state of New York and the District of Columbia. People who claim to know whereof they speak say that there is nothing in the report that my friend R. W. Thompson contemplates doing business again with his old friend Hon. Thomas Taggart of Indianapolis. Mr. James Cusberd of New Jersey is visiting his sisters, the Misses Cusberd. Miss Genevieve Campbell is visiting Chicago and St. Louis. Miss Emma and Meema George are spending a few weeks at Berkeley Springs, W. Va. Miss Nellie Robinson, accompanied by her friend Miss Lillian Ramsey, left the city last week for a visit in Oberlin and Cleveland, Ohio. Messrs. Sam'l Ewell and J. C. Campbell have returned from Atlantic City. Governor Pinchback and daughter are visiting Saratoga. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell has returned from her European trip. Mrs. John Smyth and daughter, Mrs. Dr. Clara Fraction, have returned from Saratoga. The greatest amount of illiteracy among Afro-Americans 10 years of age and over is in Louisiana and Alabama and the least in Massachusetts and New York. Mrs. Hattie Watters and son George of Clinton, Ill., will visit Philadelphia, Atlantic City and New York while East. Miss Daisy Cuney is visiting Boston and Dorchester, Mass. Spoiling One's Good Looks. It should be the aim of every woman to master the expression of her face. Expression is the action of certain muscles of the face. Joy, sadness, love, hate, fear or anger, each calls into play a set of muscles. The habitual use of one of these leaves on the countenance marks which tell their own story, says the Montreal Herald. Cultivate placidity of expression, and rest assured that there will be no danger of vacancy of countenance. Avoid wrinkling your brow, closing one eye, frowning, sniffing, "turning up the nose," thrusting the tongue into the cheek, pouting, pointing the lips, pursing up the mouth or letting it loll open, opening widely the eyes, wagging the head, grinning, or otherwise twisting or contorting the features. It means sure damage to a pretty face and is inconsistent with good breeding. The Tryst. I leaned out of window, I smelt the white clover, Dark, dark was the garden, I saw not a gait. "Now, if there be footsteps, he comes, my one lover. Hush, hush, halege, hush! O, sweet nightingale wait Will I listen and hear If a step drawthwear near For my love he is late! "The skies in the darkness stoop nearer A cluster of stars hangs like fruit in a tree. The light of the water comes sweeter, comes clearer; To what art thou listening and what doest thou hear? Let the star-clusters glow, Let the sweet waters flow, And cross quickly to me. "You night-moths that hover where honey brims over From cyanoream blossoms, or settle to sleep You glow-worms, shine out, and the pathway discover Ah, my sailor, make haust, Some darkling along the rough steep. Ah, my sailor, make haust, Some darkling along the rough steep. And my love leth deep— "Too deep for swift telling; and, yet, my one lover. I've connec thee, an answer, it waits By the sycamore passed he, and through the white clover. Then the sycamore speech I had fastened took flight. But I will love him more, more Than e'er wife before, Be the days dark or bright. —Jearngelow. Knowles Building. Bury Hall. Stone Hall. Girls' Hall. Model Home.

The bride is one of St. Paul's very handsome and popular young society ladies. The groom, who is also handsome and popular, holds a responsible position as salesman in the large plumbing and gas-fitting establishment of M. J. O'Nell. The wedding was under the supervision of Mrs. T. E. Franklin and was conducted in a very successful manner. Rev. G. W. Gaines of St. James A. M. E. Church read the marriage service. The bride was gowned in white Louisine silk and lace and wore a full length tulle. Her bouquet was a laddered room's rose. Miss Bessie Warren of Chicago attended her as maid of honor. Her gown was white organdie and lace and she carried pink roses. Little Miss Misses Adina Adams, Alberta Bell, Florence Bellesen and Bernice Turner, all dressed in white, were the ribbon bearers.

PHILIPS ELEVENTH ANNUAL PICNIC WILL BE GIVEN AT ASPRING PARK, LAKE MINNESTON KALE THURSDAY, AUGUST 11TH. DON'T FORGET! "OOTHLELO" AND "O-KIKI-SAN." At the Grand Opera House. At the Grand Opera House. There will be two plays at the Grand for the week following "Romeo and Juliet." The bill for the first part of the theatrical production of passion "Othello." Numerous requests have been made upon the management for Shakespearean productions. These requests have undoubtedly come from the fact that both Miss Haswell and Mr. Fawcett are recognized as artistic exponents of the legitimate drama. Mr. Fawcett in the title role is said to present a forceful and effective delineation of the character and Miss Haswell as Desdemona is said to be most effective in capturing the most delightful performance of this play at the hands of the Fawcett Company. For the latter part of the week the most pretentious effort of the summer season, in the way of a new production, will be the presentation of the "O-Kiku San," the Japanese play which was originally produced by Mr. Fawcett in Baltimore and later in Washington, D. C. In both cities it received the most flattering comment from the press. The author of the piece is said have written a book about love interest. The play presents a splendid acting opportunity for Miss Haswell in the title role, a part which she is said to invest with rare dignity. The piece will be given with adequate scenery and appropriate costuming. To Whom This May Concern.

One of the best things yet secured is the Kitamura Imperial Japanese Troupe, a band of ten of the wonderful little people who are making it so warm for the Russians in the far East. These Japs have all the wonderful agility and strength which characterizes their people and which has played a part in their success in the present war. At the fair they will perform a great number of feats of strength and will appear both afternoon and evenings on the stage in front of the grand stand. Another star attraction might be called Dode Fisk's Company of Educated Quadrupeds.
