NO. 36 Got Even With Widow Got Even With Widow "It took me a solid week to think it out, but I did it," said the summer girl. "I paid the widow up for all she had ever done or expected to do. I'm staying when I'm not called home this way to entertain country cousins, who will insist on coming to Washington in hot weather—at a place up on the sound. Of course, there aren't many men there, and when one does happen along the widow reaches out and grabs him. I'm not drift over men, but a summer landscape isn't complete without a few, and no complexioned-doctored widow has a right to monopolize them when the supply is so much less than the one. I was opposed to monopolies and I set out to turn the widow from the evil of her ways as soon as I arrived. "I marked out one dancing man as my share of the boot and began to prepare for war. The widow danced with that man and walked with him and talked with him and held hands in the corner of the gallery, and try as I might I couldn't get a chance to fire a hostile shot. Bathing up there is a sort of a side line. We don't make a blowing horn of it. We just snake off and take to the water when the tide's in. There no parade about it. The widow said that she couldn't bear this way people have of sitting around on benches in bathing suits, and as soon as I heard her I knew what I was doing. I took her trail, however, and one day—a very hot day—when the man was busy writing letters I asked her if she didn't want to take my brand bathing suit and go in for a dip. She said she'd enjoy it, though as she didn't as a rule care for sea bathing she hadn't brought a suit.

For her the lark is trilling At daring flights, The timorous doves unwilling To dare the blue and fly.

At her behest the yeoman Tombs of A Tombs of Ancient Egypt The excavations which were begun at Beniasan, on the east bank of the Nile, some two hundred miles above Cairo, in December, 1902, have now been completed. There have been discovered and searched in the necropolis extending along the face of the limestone cliff 887 tombs, including that of Sebek Hetepe, 2300 B. C., together with its curious funeral models. Each burial chamber was formed of a recess at the base of a square shaft, occasionally at a depth of thirty feet, hewn in the form of a fully rounded body. By this careful means the body of the deceased was preserved from disturbance. This type of burial antedates the mummification period; but it was found in the case of two bodies, that decay had been arrested by the wrappings, which were found still intact. Each tomb contained a wood sarcophagus, with the lines of religious formulae and text inscribed upon it, with the head pointing to the north and the painted "eyes of Osiris" toward the east. The sarcophagus was surrounded Church Wit Church Without a Name Within four miles of the quiet Town of High Wycombe, in Buckis, the small Village of Loudwater, which possesses one of the most remarkable sacred edifices now in existence, says the London Daily News. It is a substantial brick building, with rounded beaded windows, and a quartet little open turret rests on the top at one end of the church. It bears little or no resemblance to an ecclesiastical structure, but the exterior is fashioned like a paper mill; while the interior has been likened to a cabin of a ship of the old-fashioned type. Unlike other churches, it does not appear to have a name. If it ever had one, it has now passed into obscurity. This uplike church was built in A. woman without a bathing suit in her luggage—well, I knew then I had the widow's range and could rout her horse, foot and dragons. She went off to the sheltered cove, where the bathhouse is, and as soon as I was sure she was in the water I hunted up the man and asked if he didn't want to go and see the widow swim. Of course he did, and he said he'd wondered all along why she didn't go in bathing. "We went down and sat right smack in front of the bathhouse. The widow out in the water paddling around and when she saw me the look she gave me made ice form all over the eel-grass. She tried to get us to go back to the hotel and get her comb that she'd forgotten, but I told her she could use the one I had in the bathhouse. She tried—well, she tried every way she could think of to get us to go away, but I was bound I'd sit there until that widow came out of the water, and I saw a woman nailing down it. I knew she couldn't go in water forever, because the tide goes out there and you'd have to be a clam to hide when that happens. She stuck it out till you could hear her teeth chattering half a block off and then she came in. "We made way for her to enter the bathhouse, and as soon as the man got one good look at her - my bathing suit was a little short for her - I knew looking she was in full dress, but in a bathing suit she was simply parlaying. If a mosquito hit lion on one of her knees he'd have to use the long distance phone to let his wife on the other knee know what had become of him.

Notwithstanding the extreme age—believed to be four thousand years—of these curious relics, they were found to be in a remarkable state of preservation in the galleys leaining upon their oars and the paint still bright and clean. The ceremonies attending the interment of a woman were slightly dissimilar, the departed lady being provided with a basket of toilet requisites. These curious little models were buried in accordance with the ancient Egyptian religious rites, in order to provide the departed one with the necessaries for future life. One highly interesting discovery was made in the course of these excavations—an exact count of the bodies used in the mills at Wiggen, England, the only difference being that the ancient Egyptians of 2200 B.C. used cane teeth instead of steel. D. 1788, at a time when there were mills in the village for the manufacture of paper, and a number of hands were employed. One of the principal paper makers and his wife realized that the provision made for the spiritual needs of the people was altogether inadequate, and resolved to build them a church. This they accordingly did, and tradition declares that the remarkable design and encyclicalism of the church is attributed to the special avocation of the founder, who hoped thus to immortalize his business! The church will soon be restored, when it is proposed to make it look more like a house of prayer than a paper mill—London Daily News. THE APPEAL.

TOQUINES MAP SHOWING THE SITUATION OF COUNANI "The Free State of Counani." "The President of Counani, M. Adolph Brezet." "The Members of the Government of Counani." These phrases, not without their impressiveness, especially to citizens of a republic, have been much in evidence during the last fortnight or so in the columns of the Paris news papers. Surrounding them, however, have been a famous mystery. Counani? Where is Counani? Some where in Brazil," cones the vague reply. And "Monsieur Adolph Brezet, the Chef du Government de Counani?" This illustrious person, the commander of his army, Baron Jette de Ryckel; his financial secretary, Joseph Marie Breuc, Duc de Beaufort; his secretary of state for foreign affairs, M. Isidore Lopez Lapuya, and goodness knows how many more, are now in Paris. But for what? Ah, replies Rumor, this indoniteable Lopez Lapuya, and goodness knows just extricated his country from the yoke of the tyrant, is here to seek the French nation's aid in setting his infant republic on its feet! Evidently Brazil was "the tyrant," but one does not seem to remember the epoch-making struggle by which the "Counanese," under Bretz's intrepid lead, seem to have forced her to relinquish her sovereignty over their land. But the fact remains that the president and his cabinet are here, and that several rather mystifying interviews with this savior of his country have made their appearance. Curiosity led me to investigate M. Brezet, his government and Counan affairs generally, and the result is so striking as to need no comment. Be it said in parentheses that the address furnished by the "Chief of Government of Counan" had come as rather a shock to me, and the result is the capital. The president's oficial letter was more reassuring for it was written upon a formidable looking sheet headed "Eat Libre du Counan," and stamped with the great seal of the new nation. However, here DUTCH GUIANA FRE GUIANA AKURIAS TRIOS GRANDELLE GUIA BRAZI TAPUÑOS AKA MAP SHOWING THE SITUATION is the result of my representative's investigation: An outlying Paris suburb, shabby genteel—with the genteel left out; a declasped and sordid district, skirting the unlovely railway line; a mean street, untidy, cramped, unclean; a squalid tenement, bare, cheap, jerry; a sloven concierge in a dark and stagnant loge; dirty, mawpwaw, five bad streets; a pretense of pretense, pretense blue tin label, laugable to tears, and you have arrived at the official residence of the president of the republic of Couanii.

Muttered question and answer may be heard in an inner room, and then the word is given to enter. A narrow passage, another door a narrow passage, another door his council of state are disclosed to your astonished gaze. A small ordinary, living room, characteristic of the usual cheap fat; a floor uncarpeted, newspaper cuttings hanging from the walls for ornament; chairs, no two alike, on each side of you, on them seated a most extraordinarily nondescript set of men, in every attitude of wasting time; against the further wall by the solitary window, studiosy closed, two common writing tables, back to back; pleniously bestrewn with exhausted cigarette fags; an atmosphere of to Defective Page bacco fog, an odor of smoke many days stale, with an auxiliary force of ill-digested garlic, and through all this, now looking up at you in inquiry—and yes, suspicion—the president. An insignificant, unnoticeable sort of man. Of middle height, you judge of him by smile, he wears a shiffy eyes; a scanty mustache, tortured half upward, and a chin, uninspiring, unconvincing, that gives evidence only of a desire to grow a goatette, or else of several days' forgetfulness of the barber. The only impression of him that remains is of a rosette in a buttonhole; a rosette that you take to be of the Legion of Honor until you look again; and even that has to be taken off and laid aside when the wearer ventures into the street. You look round and take in the room and its occupants again, and you unher, with his bright torpedo bea-d, is the only relieving sign in a depressing picture. From the official Red Book we learn, with a good deal of head scratching; that the Conanii constitution provides for a chief of government, with very extended powers, who is assisted by a state council of ten members and a chancellor, who is the second head of the administration. The house of representatives consists of an upper chamber and a grand council. Public security is assured by a permanent force of police and gendarmes, and the republic is represented abroad by a "body of diplomatic and commercial agents in every land." We are then given the constitution in a series of annexes, with the decree of Uayana Assu (M. Adolphe when he is at home), proclaiming it in force. Everything is thought of, even to the flag, which is red with a white star in the middle. The old motto of the Republic "Liberty is remained while a supplementary trademark is now added, 'Je maindrai par la Raison ou par la Force', which sounds dreadful.

There are then published several proclamations and protestations, which do not seem to have met with any reply—except in the case of an application to join the Universal Postal union, which the bureau at Benghazi calls that it is impossible to give the information requested until the moment when the recognition of the Free State of Counani has been obtained. There is also a polite intimation from Belgium that she is not interested in Counani at present, thank you. Two very important documents are the decrees numbered 43 and 141, which, in the name of the people of Counani, give permission to foreigners to reside there, and then to obtain insolvency protection and penalization. The main point of these seems to be the payment of five francs for a passport. It only remains to add that this Red Book is really very nicely printed, and the punctuation throughout is fairly correct. The type, too, is clear and easy to read.

SEPTEMBER 3, 1904. ```markdown ``` Guiana there lies a territory known as Counani, after the principal town there. The frontiers here had never been definitely deliminated, but, as the country was comparatively bare and savage and of little commercial value, the question was left in abeyance, and the district became known as the "Contested Territory," and for a time the land was hiding ground of the convicts escaping from the penal settlement of Guiana. In 1895, however, gold was discovered and a rush took place, bringing the country into prominence, and it was under these circumstances that the French and Brazilian governments signed a protocol to refer the question of frontier to the arbitration of Switzerland. A decision rendered at Berne in December, 1900, gave the country to Brazil, and immediately the government of Rio de Janeiro annexed it to the district of Para and put its administration into due force. Since that time law and order have been definitely established there, and the country enjoys participation in the constitution of the Republic of Brazil. "As for the person who styles himself president of the Free State of Courau," is still the Brazilian legal secretary who is speaking, "he is simply an adventurer. He certainly has been to the place, coming from no one knows where, and for but his timely withdrawal would have been arrested, not for anything so grandioquent as high treason or the like, but on a police court charge of theft.

"Lemme see," reflected George Sanders, colored, as he stood before Deputy Walter Raltrie cliffside in the county clerk's office at the court house yesterday, a perfect picture of perplexity. "Let me see, what is de name of dat gal I'm gin' marry? As the bystanders laughed and made suggestions, Sanders, who had come to the courthouse to marry rriage liege and forgotten the name of his fancee, scratched his head and made an explanation: "I am blumb excited. I ain't used to all this to-do of getin' married, and I've just forgot that gal's first name as clean as a whistle." The witness that Sanders had brought with him was not acquainted with the girl's first name, having known her only as "Miss Johnson," and could not help out. Finally, Sanders got his bride-elect over the telephone, and this is what he said: "Say, honey, what is yo' front name?" What the reply was cannot be stated, but Sanders hastened to explain: "You see, honey, I'm so plumb excited that I've done forgot it, and I can't get de license."

Medal for Chemist At the annual meeting of the Association of German Chemists, held at Manheim recently, the Liebig gold medal for distinguished services in applied chemistry was presented to Dr. Rudolf Knietsch of the Badische Anlin- und Soda-Fabrik, the discoverer of the so-called contact process of sulphuric acid manufacture. The native Japanese, particularly those who have not come into close contact with modern civilization, is distinguished as much by his natural courtesy and politeness as by his aversion to clothing. The peasants in the interior are especially noted for their punctilliness in saluting one another; even rickisha men hurry along the road with a passenger will sometimes stop to greet a friend, while a pretty woman receives a reverence indeed. This salutation is not merely a word or a nod, but a low bow and a flourish of that little mushroom hat, and the greater friends they are the lower they bow. In saying good-by two Japs never see each other's faces, and they engage in benigning their backs. As a result, straightens himself the other ones, going backward all the while, until they consider it polite to refrain. When a foreigner passes through a village every person he meets, from the little child to the old man, will bow most profoundly, so that the passage partakes of the nature of a triumphal procession. Your waiter at the hotel, too, would never think of turning his back until he had bowed himself to a respectful distance, while the number of salambs he makes while taking your order would wear out an ordinary back. Another pleasant trait of these people is their unvarying hospitality and gayety. You may enter any house and sit down and the host and his family Chinese Fin Centuries before "the art preservative" was known in Europe the Chinese had practiced printing and had produced illustrations by engraved blocks. From the Chinese the Japanese learned to print, and engravings dating from the thirteenth century have been found. The first employed in the service of religion for reproducing texts and images of the Buddha. This was followed by the production of publications such as romances and novels, in which the illustrations were about on a par with those in old-time chat books. There were followed by single-sheet prints and by that large class of productions which emanated from the theater as advertisements. Chroma-xylography originated in Japan at the commencement of the eleighteenth century with single sheets printed from three sheets of paper, each of a pale pink. A fourth block was added in 1720, and two others were added about forty years later. The art was brought to perfection between 1765 and 1785 in the single sheet pictures, "Tori Kyonaga," "Suzuki Haruhobu" and "Katsugawa Shunsho." Jimmy at S Some one induced Jimmy to go to Sunday school. It was the first time he had been there. He was ill at ease at first and cast anxious glances at the door. Once he suggested to his nearest neighbor that they "make a sneak." The teacher observed that Jimmy needed attention, and she did the best she could to win his good will. In the simplest of language she told the story of the creation of the world. Her narration was so plain and her manner so earnest that the street Arab could not help but be impressed, although he tried to appear indiffer- Had she stopped there all might have been well, but she thought she would make sure of her conquest by addressing herself to Jimmy direct. "Do you understand, James?" she inquired. "She's talking to you," said Jimmy's companion, nudging him when he noticed that Jimmy didn't recognize the strange name of James. "Huh?" said Jimmy inquiringly of the teacher. "Do you understand the lesson?"

The ripple and splash of a rock-bound stream and the light of a harvest moon. That filters away through the leaves and touches a doughish surface.

Any little incident that among Europeans would pass unnoticed is quite sufficient to send these merry folk into fits of laughter. The rural Japanese as a rule wear as few clothes as the law allows, and since in some districts there is no law on this subject the result is obvious. In fact, the children wear nothing at all in summer, while the men and women have but a scant—a very scant—apology for raiment. The nation garb is, of course, the whole short coat, often cast, which have made a handkerchief or other small rag. This scantiness of clothing, however, seems so natural that it rarely excites remark. All the villages are remarkable for their cleanliness and neatness, and except for some of their sanitary arrangements, are models of comfort and simplicity. Agriculture is carried on with the crudest implements, yet with a skill of handling a hand of bären mountains, while some of the workmen in regard to the arts of johery and weaving might give valuable hints to our own people. A short excursion through this country will give one a most pleasant impression of the land and its inhabitants, while their quaint courtesy and persevering industry render them worthy of considerable respect. The technique of Japanese engraving and printing is thus described: The picture, drawn for the engraver on thin, transparent paper of a particular kind, is pasted face downward upon a block of wood, usually cherry, and the superfluous thickness of paper is removed by a process of scraping until the design is clearly visible. The borders of the outline are then incised—very lightly in the more delicate piece—with a kind of knife and the intersepses between the lines of the drawing are finally excavated by means of tools of various shapes. The ink is then applied with a brush and the printing is effected by hand pressure, assisted by a kind of pad to which procedure may be attributed much of the beauty of the result. Certain graduations of tone and even polychromatic effects may be produced from a single block by suitable application of ink or color upon the wood, and on carefully examining these prints it is often apparent that a great deal of artistic feeling has been exercised in the execution of the picture after the designer and engraver had finished their portion of the work. Sunday School the teacher asked in her sweetest manner. "Yeh," replied Jimmy. "That is good," said the teacher amply proving. "Now, remember God made the people of the world. He made all the animals, all the trees, all the flowers, everything!" Somewhere near Jimmy's hair roots an idea began to work. This took form soon in a look in Jimmy's eye that the teacher, who was a student of children, was quick to interpret. "What is it, James?" she asked. Jimmy shied once more at "James," but managed to give utterance to the question that was bothering him. "Did he make der river?" he asked. "Yes," said the teacher, "God made the river." Jimmy looked puzzled. Then he said: "Did God make Jeffries?" The teacher was inclined to be shocked, but she answered "yes." Then Jimmy looked up into the teacher's face with a smile that was radiant with pleasure. said the boy—New York Press. "Gee!

'Jim Crowed' going and 'Jim Crowed' returning is the price I paid for seeking inspiration at the tum of the 'Father of our country.' Allens in our home—soldiers in war and outcast in peace.

The above is an extract from the diary of an old Afro-American Civil War veteran who visited this city while enroute to his home in the west from the city of New York to visit the capital of the nation was a disappointment. The prejudice encountered on every side was a bitter experience, and he departed for his home in a state of mind not unlike that of hundreds of other Afro-Americans who come here with their families. The capital of our great country, is the one place where a citizen regardless of his color can lift up his head and be proud of the thought that he is an American. Yet, regardless of the condition of african-Americans existing in this country, who are continually holding in the lime light the prejudices of the southern states, thinking little and caring less of the humiliations they encounter daily right here under the shadow of the capital domestics, the observations of the old veteran whose visit to our city caused him to question his patriotism.

Thomas Clark have returned from Atlantic City. There are 85 Afro-American males and 5 females employed in the Pension Bureau. Mrs. Hattie Watters and son George of Clinton, Illinois, have returned home after a very pleasant visit to Atlantic City, Philadelphia and Washington. Members of the Potomac District Conference of the A. M. E. church held their convention last week at the Brown Memorial Church. "The Pernicious Influence of Worship Amusements the Church" was the title of the read by Rev. F. P. Lewis of this city. Lieut. Gov. Jared Y. Sanders of Louisiana, who is responsible for the "grandfather clause" in the constitution of his state, recently passed through this city, and while here gave expression to his views on the "race" of white people, he said, "We have no race problem in Louisiana. We have settled it on the basis that the preservation of the integrity of the white race depends upon the non-amalgamation of the white and black races. In order to preserve the white race in its purity and strength and power you have got to keep it absolutely separate and distinct from inferior races." Such rot is disgusting when we consider the fact that the white race is 16 percent of the Afro-Americans of Louisiana were mulattoes or were believed by the census enumerators to have some degree of white blood. It is evident that this man Sanders, like Tillman, Graves and others, was not the one that the Northern people are a pack of dummies. They don't seem to know that north of Mason and Dixon's line most everyone from the bootlatch to the millionaire reads the newspapers and has a sister in the army. Mr. Sanders is feeding the flame of prejudice with asbestos, unknowingly. The statistics taken in 1900 by the Census Bureau show 29,762 Afro-American voters in Illinois, distributed throughout the state in every county one—Calhoun. Of course Cook county leads with 183,404, while Alexandra with 186,194, takes place. The other counties having more than 500 voters are as follows: Pulaski, 1,574; St. Clair, 1,344; Sangamon, 958; Madison, 834; Adams, 725; Jackson, 624; Peoria, 632; Will, 566; Massac, 547; and Randolph, 547. There is one county having more than 300 Afro-American voters; two counties having more than 300; six counties having more than 100. Fortunately these votes are located in such a manner as to determine, in seven counties having more than 300 of congressional and legislative districts, consequently we are sure of Republican success in these particular counties. The Afro-American who votes: the Democratic ticket this year should be placed in a museum as a freak. Mrs. Wm. Hooch gave a luncheon in honor of Mrs. Watters of Clinton, Illinois, Friday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Crouse of Metropolis, Ill., have been spending a few weeks in Maryland. Mr. Arthur Gray has returned from the west. Messrs. Chas. Preston and Edgar Jordon of Louisville spent several days in our city. Prof. John B. Starks of Dallas, Tex., is the guest of his sisters. Mrs. Anna Weedon and Miss Francis Starks. Mr. John F. Smyth, after a pleasant visit in Saratoga, Boston and Washington, has returned to her home in Virginia. The S. Coleridge Taylor Choral Society, the most noted Afro-American musical organization in the country, has canceled concert dates at Richmond and Norfolk. Va. It is rumored that one of the members of the organization presumed upon his authority and made arrangements to appear in the cities mentioned with only a few of the members and that all of this presumed to be knowledge or consent of the members or the organization. When the society met and heard of this little "side show," proposition it immediately can- Of National Afro-American Council, at St. Louis, Sept. 6, 7, 8, 10. To the members of the National Afro-American Council, Delegates from Lovell Council and Alliated Organizations, and Beneverol Societies, Newspapers and other Race Organizations. GREETING: The Seventh Annual Session of the National Afro-American Council will be held in Music Hall, Olive and Fourteenth streets, St. Louis, Mo. Sept. 6, 7, and 8, 1994. The Necessity for the Meeting. In view of the legislation against us as the nation, we will fight for civil rights, but against our suffrage, no one should question the necessity for an organization of this character, and every Afro-American, without regard to his views on other subjects, should be encouraged to improve these conditions. The hostility upon the part of the enemies of the race has been so persistent that many of our friends have become timid and indifferent in our defender. It is with the view of combating this opposition of our enemies, strengthening the hands of our friends and working for the absolute undoing of all discriminations against the race, and helping to prevent them, ask the hearty co-operation of every Afro-American who is interested in the welfare of his race. Basis of Membership. Section 1. The Afro-American Council shall be composed of members as follows: 1st—All persons who hold life membership. 2d—Council Delegates, representing duly accredited Local Councils. duly accredited Local Council, ac-Alliated Delegates, represent inations of similar plans and purposes cooperating with Afro-American Council. Sec. 2. Every Local Afro-American Council shall be entitled to representation in the National Council by delegates elected on a basis of one delegate, and by delegates to qualify upon presentation of credentials and payment of ten cents for each member so represented. Provided, however, that any Local Council having less than fifty (50) members shall be entitled to one vote, upon presentation of credentials and payment of the annual tax of $5.00. Sec. 3. Religious and secular organizations which have for their aim and work the mental and moral elevation of the race, and which desire to cooperate with the National Council, may be represented by affiliated delegates, and may be represented by an organization. Said delegates shall have the right to vote upon payment of $5.00 for each delegate. Sec. 4. Editors of Afro-American newspapers and Principles of Academic Schools and Colleges, may be admitted to the National Council and be entitled to a vote upon presentation of credentials and payment of the annual tax of $5.00. A Truly Representative Body. From the above it will be seen that the representative a representative body. The mere payment of $5 does not entitle one to membership. Every delegate must bring written credentials certifying that he is the representative of a local council or affiliated organization, the editor of an Afro-American newspaper or the principal of an academic school Disfranchisement Paramount Question While many other questions relative to the rights of the race will be considered, it has been decided that Disfranchisement is to be the paramount issue. It is important which is of such great importance at this time, will be considered from every view point by some of the greatest thinkers of the race. Speeches Must be Short and to the Point. By the action of the National Afro-American Council, each speaker is limited to a maximum of three minutes of the fact that a portion of the Caucasian press of the country is ever ready to misrepresent the words of Afro-Americans, all speeches must be in manuscript, in order that there may be absolute proof of just what each speaker is reducing Rates on Railroads. Delegates attendring the National Afro-American Council will have the benefit of the lowest rates by buying round trip tickets to the World's Fair at St. Louis, which are on sale at the lowest rates in all States. In many cases the short limit tickets are sold for less than one fare for the round trip and in every case the rate is less than the usual rate granted by the railroads to meetings of the meeting is September 5, 7, and 8. It is our earnest desire that every Church, College, Benevolent Society, and other Race Organization send representatives, accompanied by the annual tax of $5.00, to this great National Society. We are every reason to believe that the St. Louis meeting will be the largest ever held in the history of the organization. Let all the organizations above-named elect their delegates as soon as possible and send their names to Cyrus Field Adams, Secretary, 334 S Street, N. W., Washington, the citizens of St. Louis are preparing to entertain the Council in first-class style and the trip promises to be a delightful one. [Signed.] William H. Steward, Acting President, The Alexander W. Williams, Ch. Executive Committee. Cyrus Field Adams, General Secretary. REDUCED RAILROAD RATES. To the National Business League Meeting at Indianapolis, Ind., August 31, September 1 and 2, 1904. The fifth annual meeting of the National Business League will take place at Indianapolis, Ind. August 31—September 2, 1904. The Central Passenger Association has granted a rate of a fare and a third for the round trip on the certificate plan. Tickets at full fare for the going journey may be obtained three days (exclusive of Sundays) prior to and during the first day of the meeting. Be sure when purchasing your ticket you request a certificate. If there are not less than 100 persons attending the event, attendance and your certificate has been audited by the joint agent of the rail- 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.— PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. roads and the transportation agent of the National Business League, you will be entitled up to September 6, to a continuous passage ticket to your destination by the route over which you will travel. You will be third the limited fare. The joint agent will charge a fee of 25 cents for validating each ticket. An extension of the return limit of thirty days, for the purpose of visiting the World's Fair at St. Louis or any other point, will be indicated certificates with agents of Indianapolis terminal lines on or before September 6, 1994. It is urged that leagues arrange for special Pullman or reclining chair cars. This will insure comfort and enable delegates from the South to hold a Cypress Car. A number of delegations and arranging details of special transportation, and delegations from other places are urged to join them en route or arrange similarly. In order that the matter may be systematized Leagues which arrange for special cars should notify Cycus Field of the arrangements. 934 S Street N. W. Washington D. C. T.

YANKEE IS PASSING AWAY, Native-Born New Englanders Are Now in the Minority There. That the native population of New England is not maintaining its numerical strength is pretty well known. Hence the facts brought out in the vital statistics of Connecticut for last year, that the native population is fast being overwhelmed by the element of immediate foreign extraction, will surprise no one. It appears that in all sections of the state the deaths among the native population exceeds the number of immediate foreign deaths the burden of providing a natural increase in the population rests wholly upon people of for-ign birth. This is true of the country as well as the urban districts. In forty-one back towns, people largely by nativas, the deaths exceeded the last year by 240. In the cities of New Haven, Hartford, Meriden, Waterbury, New London, Norwich and Bridgeport the births from native-born parents number 3,933, while the deaths of native-born babies number 4,227 and deaths born babies number 4,227 and deaths only 1,887—there possibly be an error in the duplication of the figures 4,227, but in any event for the whole state, the native births numbered 8,229 and deaths 10,388, and the foreign births 8,219 and deaths only 3,678. From such facts it is easy to figure out the early displacement of the older native element by a population of immediate or very recent foreign origin. The Massachusetts vital statistics reveal the same percentage tendencies. The same counter-statistics considerations to be taken into account when studying such statistics as the above. But after all allowances are made the fact remains that the population of New England, of more than one generation of American nativity seems to be losing ground. This may arise—doubtless does arise —from the emigration of the yankee youth toward the west, and in making account of this the old New England family is unquestionably proving to be at least barely self-perpetuating, but on New England soil this yankee element is slowly but surely being engulfed by other peoples who are comparative strangers to the region.—Springfield Republican. JAPANESE CURIOSITY: Natives of Japan Regularity 'Stare at American Residents The foreigner traveling in Japan is soon made aware of the quality of curiosity. On every railroad platform he is surrounded by a crowd of people who, with their mouths as wide open as their eyes in their effort to lose no detail of interest, regard him slowly from head to foot and comment upon him among themselves the while. These people may have seen hundreds of foreigners—they may see them every day—but they continue to act as if they had never seen one before. I visited some Americans in Tokyo who had lived in the same house with the same Japanese neighbors for about a year. Yet each time that I came out to do the people the little girl would rush to their windows and stand watching as eagerly as a small Yankee at the circus. This happened every day. It is always possible to tell whether a foreigner happens to be in his garden, for a goodized crowd of Japanese gathered about the gate announces the important fact. I gave several talks and lectures to school children and young men and women in Japan. They were interpreted, I of course, speaking in English, so that half of the address was understood by only a 'a'. Yet I have never seen audiences more absolutely attentive. Not a word was lost and the same concentration was shown while I was speaking and bringing it into Japanese. Little school children—boys and girls—as drinking everything in, with their eyes popping out of their heads until I had finished. I never flattered myself that this was due to the fascination of my discourse, but merely to the great curiosity of my audience, their power of concentration and their receptivity—Ainsley's Magazine. Sentences Selected from President's Speech Accepting Nomination. The humblest individual is to have his rights safeguarded as compulsions as those of the strongest organization. Each is to receive interest; no more, and no less. There is nothing experimental about the government we ask the people to continue in power. We know our own minds. We have kept of the same mind a sufficient length of time to give our policy coherence and sanity. We have shown in fact that our policy is to do justice to all man, paying no heed to whether a man is rich or poor, or to his race, creed or birthplace. We know what we mean when we speak of an honest and stable currency. We mean the same thing from year to year. We are striving to do our work in the spirit with which Lincoln approached his. Insurance Pays Fat Salaries The proposal to increase the salary of John A. McCall, president of the New York Life Insurance company, $25,000 a year will be acted on at the next meeting of the directors, and there is scarcely a doubt that the advance will be made. Mr. McCall first received $50,000, and then $65,000 his present pay. An additional $25,000 will bring him in $90,000 a year and put him nearly in the class of Messrs. McCurdy and Alexander. The former receives annually from the Mutual Life company a salary of $100,000 and a requisite of $25,000. James W. Alexander arrangement with the Equitable Life company is highly agreeable to him. His salary is $100,000 a year, and in addition he receives 1 per cent of all the business written. His income is never less than $150,000—New York Press. Earthnake Swallows a Lake: An earthquake wrecked several buildings in the town of Aulton, Mexico, and then passed on to Zopoton, where it sported with the waters of a big lake. At first the waters seemed in a state of great agitation, and then they subdued and gradually disapparished. The water fissure in the bed of the lake, and through this the lake had passed out of sight. Expedition to Study Flab The German Antarctic expedition, which will start for Kerguelen island in a few months, will give special attention to the study of sea life and its economic value of the useful life of fish is yet known to exist in Antarctic waters. The apple is such common fruit that few are familiar with its remarkable efficacious properties. Everybody ought to know that the very best thing they can do is to eat apples because they are rich in the apple is an excellent brain food, because it has more phosphoric acid in easily digested shape than any other vegetable known. It excites the action of the liver, promotes sound and healthy sleep, and thoroughly disinfects the mouth. That is not all. The apple agglutinates the surplus acids and creatins, and is one of the best, preventives known of diseases of the throat. Overcrowding Medical Professions. Statistics of the country relating to physicians indicate the possibility, if not the actuality, of overcrowding in the medical profession. It was found in the census year that there was one registered physician to every 655 people in the United States. That the number is in excess of the need is evidenced by a comparison with Germany, where, in 1888, there was only one physician to each 2,114 inhabitants, or relatively about one-third as many as in the United States—New York Post. Pomades are made of the best and purest fat of the ox, impregnated with any perfume which may be desirable. The Star-chamber was named from the Hebrew word shetar (pronounced shtar), meaning a deed or contract. The old Jewish deeds in England were written on parchment in Hebrew on one side and Latin on the other. By a statute of Richard I. these deeds, or "shetars," were collected and mostly deposited in one of the rooms of the exchequer, and in that chamber this celebrated court was held, from which he applied his name. The court was abolished by Charles I, just preceding the English revolution in which he was dethroned and beheaded. The Lee Family. The Lee family, which, until the civil war, had always been represented in the army, was until the Spanish war without a single member in the regular service.
