NO. 39 INDIANS SHOW CRAFT CLEVER SCHEME BY WHICH TRIBE SECURED PONIES: Treaty Prohibition Kept in the Letter, but Evaded in the Spirit—Arrangement That Was Profitable to the White Men. "Have you ever heard how a treaty between the Modoc and Pit River Indians, way out in eastern Oregon, was nullified?" asked M. T. Rogers, while discussing frontier and early day experiences. "The two tribes were at constant warfare with each other long years ago, and the fortunes of war varied. Some seasons victory would be with the Pit Rivers and at other times their hereditary enemies, the Modocs, would subjugate them. Upon one occasion the Modocs managed to capture the entire band through some strategy, and when they counted noses it was found that captors and captured were about equal in number. The officers supplied to keep the prisoners from escaping it was found that there were not enough Modocs left to do the hutting or go on the warpath. Finally a council was held and the chiefs reached an agreement for a treaty of peace between the two tribes. The condition of the treaty was that the Pit River Indians were never again to own horses, this being required because the Modocs could easily keep them under control. The captured band returned to their hunting grounds and established villages, but were without horses for a number of years. "Attracted by the excellent sheep range territory, ranchmen from Northern California invaded the Pit River country and brought with them large heds of ponies to be used in rounding up. The Indians looked with long upon the horses and finally the ranch was filled out ponies. When the fall weather came and corrals were found necessary, the ranchmen entered into an agreement for the services of the Indians to supply rails to fit up corrals. The Indians refused pay for the work done, but took ponies instead. They also refused to accept full pay, insisting upon owing a pony secured, so that the title remained in the name of the whites. "The Modocs, learning that their enemies HAD been supplied, with ponies in violation of the treaty, made a raid, but were informed that the ponies were not the property of the Pit River Indians, but belonged to the white men. Through these methods the ranchmen secured the use of valuable grazing ground for many years, and the Indians found a way of getting around the treaty"—Milwaukee (Wis.) Sentinel. MEN NOT ALWAYS PUNCTUAL One Observer Saye It is the Woman Who Has to Wait. Which is theunctual or the least unpunctual sex? A correspondent who has been making studies in the portico of the Royal academy arrives at very certain conclusions, and he has given us the benefit of them. The two benches that flank the door are filled each morning at an even hour, such as 11, with ladies who have arrived any time during the preceding fifteen minutes. Their patient eyes are fixed on Picadilly. For ten minutes nothing occurs. Then one by one men arrive, and the waiting woman rises with cheerful alacacy to join her dilatory lord. She offers no reproaches and he makes no apologies. "We are both punctual," is the first man's complacent exclamation to the woman who came a quarter of an hour early, and smiles, not in irony, but in pleasure, that her fifteen minutes of monotony is relieved by the assured presence of her expected man. The last laggard to arrive is half an hour late. "I thought it better to give you a little grace," he says benevolently. And she murmurs, "Thanks."—London Chronicle. A Song of Love. A Song of Love.

It went with him visiting and to the barroom. When he ordered a drink for himself he ordered one for the rooster, too. The rooster drank it. He introduced the rooster to all his friends, and it sat by him at table. It was only by the strictest methods of diet and exercise that I was at last able to rid him of that rooster, but finally I did."

PAPER NAPKINS IN THOUSANDS Made in This Country, in Great Numbers and of Fine Appearance. Up to within ten years all of the many millions of paper napkins annually consumed in the United States were imported from Japan or China, but now a large proportion of them are made here. This proportion is constantly increasing, and now American paper napkins are exported to Europe. Some of the napkins produced in this country are printed with designs Japanese in character, but the great bulk are original in every way. They include napkins printed with various flowers, which are reproduced with fidelity to nature, both in drawing and in color, and which are also in many cases arranged with most artistic effect upon the paper. And then there are napkins with reproductions in color of playing cards, and others with the flags of various nations. And then there are napkins upon which are printed yacht flags, and napkins printed with music, and napkins with other designs. There are still other napkins that are plain white, without ornamentation; and then there are napkins printed with some simple design in one or two colors, and there are napkins with a pattern embossed, and napkins with a border printed with a pattern in gold or in silver; and gold and silver are used also on some of the napkins printed in colors to enhance the decorative effect. These napkins are, in short, produced in scores of styles, many of which are artistic. In fact, to anybody who had never seen one, the sample book of an American manufacturer of paper napkins would be a surprise. Some American napkins are sold for less than any imported, while some of the finest cost more. There is, for example, an American napkin of tissue paper and printed with two colors that is sold at wholesale for as little as 30 cents a thousand. This napkin is printed from continuous rolls of paper on presses similar in operation to the fast presses on which American newspapers are printed.—New York Sun.

Defective Page TREASURES OF LAKE NEMI Bronzes from the Sunken Galleys Now Nearly Two Thousand Years Old to Be Brought to America to Enrich the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. The acquisition by the Metropolitan Museum of Art of the so-called "Treasure of Lake Nemi" will bring to New York-city a collection of archological monuments of great artistic value that cannot be duplicated, unless it be by further finds in the same place. It consists of ornaments and fragments of Roman vessels that are son composition in which were set leaden plates fastened with nails not of iron but of bronze. They found besides leaden pipes two cubits long and marked with inscriptions. A century later a military architect, Francesco de Marciol of Bologna, explored the lake himself, making use of a sort of diving bell, the construc- bronze, similar to but somewhat larger than those found on the first ship. Part of the beam to which it was fastened, curiously waterworn was found with it. The bronze beam head has on one face the figure of an outspread hand, which is also archaei in style. As soon as Signor Borghi's discov VOLS BLAKE READ. surely 1,800 years old and very possibly two or more centuries older still. The relics were procured from the bottom of the lake nine years ago by Signor Eliseo Borghi, an Italian archaeologist, who was working on his own account with no assistance from the government. His discoveries made a great sensation and some account, of them appeared in the new edition of the book, the effect of publication was to make the Italian government step in and interfere with all further investigation. Nemi is a picturesque little town in the Alban hills, twenty miles out of Rome, familiar to all travelers in Italy. It has been painted time and again by artists, and is known particularly through Turner's charming engraving. The lake of Nemi is the most beautiful spot that is seen in the Alban trip from Rome. It is the center of an extinct volcano, sloping down into the lake that the water becomes very deep a few yards from the shore. Close to the lake are the vestiges of an old temple of Diana. From time immemorial the tradition has existed among the peasants of the district that somewhere in the lake a Roman galley was sunk. The legend ascribed to it to Tiberius, whose name is attached to many classical antiquities by the fancy of the people, and the mythical galley was called the nave di Tiberio, a name that may suit it as well as any other. Classical scholars who followed up the myth came upon a story of the Emperor Caligula's building an immense vessel on the little lake, wherein he held orgies. It was a structure of ancient magnificence; he held that it was built in the lake in the building of a ship but modern archeologists agreed that, whatever truth there might be in the story, the ship or the building had disappeared long ago and that it was folly to talk of recovering any part of it. This in spite of well authenticated records of beams and other debris drawn from Lake Nemi by fishermen and others. Signor Borghi, who was engaged in LIION HEAD OF MOORING-POST. excavating the remains of the temple of Diana, in the district called the Campo del Giardino, near the shores of the lake, was so much impressed by the persistence of the tradition that he hunted up the records and after reading that had been done, decided to search the lake for the fabled gallery. He gave credit to his predecessors of trying to tell the truth, and this is what he found. In the middle of the fifteenth century Cardinal Prospero Colonna, who then owned the land around Lake Neml, was so much impressed by the tradition that he employed Leon Battista Alberti, the great architect and engineer, to raise the two gallys, which, it was said, lay at the bottom of the lake. Alberti made use of Genoese sailors skilled in diving; they were able to report on the size of the ships and to attach them grappling hooks, one of which was subsequently found by Signor Borghi's diver. Then with stout ropes and a MEDUSA READ FROM THE STERN, system of cranes erected on empty casks they tried to raise the galleys, but only part of the prow of one ship was torn out. "It was made of larch boards, covered with yellow or crim- son composition in which were set leathered plates fastened with nails not of iron but of bronze." They found their way to the long and marked with inscriptions. A century later a military architect, Francesco de Marchi of Bologna, explored the lake himself, making use of a sort of diving bell, the construction of which he does not explain, having promised the inventor to keep it secret. He hauled up part of the lake. Encouraged by good mules, which wood was of various kinds, there was larch and pine and cypress." Also pgs of oak, veined so that they looked like ebony. Besides, he found iron nails worn by rust, a great quantity of brass nails, lead plates with the covering material, beams of metal, lead pipe three fingers in thickness and wide enough for the heels to enter and a handle for the mouth. He took out a piece of red enamel from a flooring. This probably was the first boat Signor Borgi found. Then nothing more was done for nearly three centuries, when in 1827 Cavaliere Aniesio Fusconi tackled the galley with a diving bell. His attempt came to an untimely end after he had spent $5,000 on it, owing to thieves carrying off all his apparatus during the winter months. Among the things Fusconi brought up were a bronze capital, forty terra cotta tablets, iron and bronze nails, pieces of enamel and marble from mosaics, a fragment of a grating inscribed Tib. Cass. beams, boards and woods of all kinds. His TV LION BEAM HEAD. divers also at the bottom statues, columns and metal beams, which they could not get out. Some of these things were distributed among the vatican museums, but nearly every trace of them has disappeared. Signor Borgli, while busied with his excavation of the temple of Diana, kept hearing the peasants tell of the sunken ship of Tiberius; he heard the fishermen's stories of their nets catching in the ships, and one day he saw a long beam the fisherman had dragged from the lake in the palace of Prince Orsini at Nemi. He made up his mind to try the venture and made a contract with the Orsini family, which owns Lake Nemi. He engaged an experienced river, had built boats and machinery, and had built derricks and constructions, derricks and crews on the lakeside. He selected a spot 75 fathoms from the shore, and 3 fathoms south of the building known as the "fisherman's hut" for his attempt, and on Oct. 3, 1895, began to draw up the objects which form his collection. The first bronze brought to the surface was the top of a mooring post, a splendid work of art, a great band in the cavity of which was still the end of the beam to which it had been attached. More than a third of the surface bears in relief a beautiful lion's head in its teeth a workmanship points clearly to the first century of the empire. In the days following many other important objects were drawn up. Chief among them were four bronze heads of animals with square bases, being the ornamental of beams; one of these represents a wolf's head, larger than life, with a ring hanging from the jaws; another the head of a hyena; two others, lions' heads, all with mooring rings attached to them. Another extremely beautiful bronze is attached to the stern, and is attached to the stern, and to which time has given a magnificent natina. As the fisherman reported that there was another ship in the lake close to the point called the "Rock of Germanicus," about seventy-five fathoms from the shore and 1,300 feet to the south of the first ship. Signor Borghi determined to examine the place. Soon the driver reported that there was a ship there at a depth of two beams fastened together by iron railings and bands, held apart at a distance of nine feet. Then a lot of wood of various sorts, and beams held together with iron or copper nails, were raised to the surface. Besides these things the second ship yielded bits of marble and other parts of a mosaic pavement, part of a little bronze column and some copper plates like those from the first ship. Further a plaque with a female figure on it was built with well preserved and three and three-quarter feet long, and most important of all, a beheaded of bronze, similar to but somewhat larger than those found on the first ship. Part of the beam to which it was fastened, curiously waterworn, was found with it. The bronze beam head has on one face the figure of an outspread hand, which is also archaic in style. As soon as Signor Borghi's discover eries became known the Italian government stepped in. It prevented the removal of the objects found for a long time, during which they were subjected to exposure to the weather and other perils. Much of the wood recovered—Signor Borghi says it amounted to 1,200 feet—deceased as plumbed by the neighboring population used it for firewood. Exploration of the ships is now at a standstill. The Italian government sent a marine engineer to investigate and he recommended the draining of the lake to below the level where the ships are stranded. This will require much money and will involve a great deal of litigation with the riparian owners, and as a result the ships in Lake Nemi are likely to remain undisturbed for a long time. It is interesting to note the conclusion to which Signor Borghi has come with regard to the character of these ships in the course of his researches. According to him there is no question of pleasure rays of Tibergus or of Caligua; in fact, the art of the second ship points back to the republic. He believes that the ship is connected with the temple of Diana. Diana's temple at Nemi was long a place of pilgrimage. It was the temple in the grove that gave the names to both the villages near the lake. Nemi is from Nemus, the lake is Nemorensis, while Genzano, near by, is from Cynthiana, one of Diana's names. There is proof of the great magnificence of the temple on shore, and he holds that for some sacred reason the temple was splendidly as part of the sacrificial worship of the goddess. The theory is more plausible than that which attributes the building of the ships to STAND ON BEAM HEAD OF SECOND SHIP. Imperial caprice, and would account for the remembrance of the ships in the popular tradition.—New York Sun. QUERY AS TO SUNDAY. Day Equally Lost, Whether Spent in Work or Sleep. Two friends met on the street one Monday morning. "Were you at church yesterday?" said one. "No," said the other; the fact is, I am trying to do more business than I have been doing, and I find I have to go down to the office on Sunday. It isn't just the thing, perhaps, but I simply have to do it. "I don't see how you can reconcile yourself to going to business on Sunday, though," said the first; "that's a thing I will never do." "Were you at church yesterday?" asked the other. "No; I confess I wasn't," answered the first; "the fact is, I work so hard every day of the week that I am dead tired on Sunday, and I don't feel like getting up, so that I have a good, long steep step. I am trying to enlarge my business, and I was at the office until 10 o'clock Saturday night." Query—Is it a duty of a Christian to keep his faculties fresh for Sunday worship, even if it involves doing a little less on Saturday; add is there much difference between the Sunday sleeper and the Sunday sleeper?—Living Church. Little Grace Meant Well, But Her Substitute Was Not Welcome. Grace is 4 years old, and has just begun her religious education in the infant class of the Sunday school. It is a custom of the teacher of this particular infant class to give each of her pupils a card containing a short text which the child is expected to memorize during the week. In passing them out she charged each of the children to be sure to keep them carefully and return them the next Sunday, that they might be passed on to the other. Grace is not a very careful little girl, and though fully impressed with the duty of returning the card, she neglected to put it in a place of safety she discovered that she had lost it. The thought worried her considerably at first, until a bright idea came into her head, and, strange to relate, it stayed there all the week. She said nothing-to her mother about the lost card, and the next Sunday went off to Sunday school happy as usual. The infant class assembled and the teacher called on the children to return their cards. When it came Grace's turn, she arose and said, "I am sorry, but I lost my card. I got lost here. Papa gave me no time to play with, and I've brought you that. It's lots prettier than the one I lost." And she placed it with the rest. The young woman who was teaching the infant class stared in mute astonishment, while several unregenerate adults in different parts of the classroom bit their lips to keep from laughing. The card which Grace had tendered was a somewhat dilapidated queen of hearts. "Summum Bonum." "Shield us, O Power Supernal!" Thus we "girdly forces in its hand o' dervalw, And pungy forces of mortal may not a moment or an eil, the rushing tide That can enefice hope, effort—like itself We need all force from is from life We need each hour to view the topmost Gat of strength—to know that fattlers Oftener fall than they whose every Is hivally outpured.

Once when traveling he put up at an inn, and remained there, unable to get away through lack of funds to settle his bill. The landlord grew suspicions that such was the case, and his requests for a settlement grew more pressing. Finally, Raphael, in desperation, resorted to the following device: He carefully painted upon a table top in his room a number of gold coins, and, placing the table in a certain light that gave a startling effect, he packed his few belongings and summed his host. "There," he exclaimed, with a lordly wave of his hand toward the table, "is enough to settle my bill and more. Now kindly show the way to the door." The kninkeeper, with many smiles and bows, ushered his guest out and then hastened back to gather up his gold. His rage and consternation were on his face, no bounds, until a wealthy English traveler, recognizing the value of the art put in the work, gladly paid him $50 for the table—Stray Stories. Offered Vanderbilt Money. Alfred Vanderbilt drove the coach Venture to the races at the Long Island tracks every day during the season, and on the way down stopped at a roadhouse at Prospect Park Circle for refreshments and a change of horses. One day, while the Vanderbilt party was seated at a table in the main dining room, an individual sat down at an adjoining table and called for an impagene. Noticing his neighbors of idemage, he identity was not aware, parking of a more modest beverage, he invited them to join him. The invitation was not noticed and he got angry. Flashing a roll of bills, he cried. "You're cheap skates! Maybe you like to have a little of this! There's $500 here!" Before he could say any more two horrified waiters hustled him out, and he nearly collapsed when one of them said, "Say, you're a pler! Don't you know who that was? Why, that was Vanderbilt!" --- WHITE MAN'S INSTITUTION IS LIKED BY THE MOQUIS. Little Ones Climb Down Immense Rock to Get Instruction, and Teachers Praise Their Good Behavior During Lesson Hours. The home of the Oralibi branch of the Moqui Indians is a mesa 500 feet high, upon which the old Indians practice the snake dance and other favorite ceremonies of the tribe. But it is probable that the coming generation, or, perhaps, the present one, will grow out of these things. The white man with his school house and other images of civilization, has found the young Indians and made friends of them. A few years ago these Indians of the messa were considered hostile because they exhibited more opposition to the influence of the whites than did the other Moquis. When it was proposed to build a school house at the children in school, the parents stubbornly refused to permit it. But a house was built, and after long and persistent effort, every child of proper age was enrolled as a pupil. The Indians, who had so vigorously opposed at first, became zealous friends and were as soon as they saw the result of it. The enterprise has been very successful, and now one may stand near the school at 7 o'clock in the morning, and looking up at the platan, 500 feet above, see suddenly a curious thing. Little children, looking like dolls, begin to appear over the edge of the mesa. One child comes into view behind another, and soon the face of the great rock is alive, with the little creatures as they descend, in single file, the steep path lead path behind the mesa and the school. The little folk seem to be hanging to the wall of the immense rock as they slowly descend the face of it. They keep pouring over the edge at the top, and the head of the line has reached the school on the plain below before the last of it leaves the mesa. When the straggling line comes fully into view, it is nearly a half mile long. A faintive person might see in its convolutions on the path of a snake and thikit of it as the snake dance with which the young Indians have replaced that of their graffitiers. In this school there are 175 children, and in regularity of attendance it is said to head the list of Indian day schools in all the country. A fine large new building, costing between $3,000 and $4,000, has taken the place of the first schoolhouse. New clothes, such as white children wear, are supplied the pupils when they enter school. The children are fond of their lessons, and the teachers have but few complaints to make of bad behavior, -Youth's Companion. Rest. My feet are weared, and my hands are tired.

Courteleigh looked with minged astonishment and apprehension at Miss Racquet, as she hurried from the tennis court and bathed her sunburned face in a barrel set outside the club house to catch rain water. The attention Courteleigh had been paying the fair maiden warranted the as-underwear that was interred in having her complexion maintained in a good state of preservation. "Don't you worry," said Miss Tattle. "Nothing sets a tan like cold water. If a girl bathes her sunburn in ice water a few times she will acquire a tan that will endure through the winter, in spite of all the cold cream and skin emollients on earth. It simply won't come off. Gertie will have a tan like a Sandy Hook pilot because both the city. A girl who wants to stay out in the sun and still go back to town without tan bathes her face in water as hot as she can stand it." "Cottages" More Like Palaces.

There is some hope that lynchings will be less frequent in Alabama at least when a special grand jury makes a report recommending the impeachment of the sheriff, the mayor and the chief of police in Huntsville and that the entire police force be reorganized. Many of the men who wore the roosters upon their hats in 1832, and then wore Cleveland patches upon the seats of their breeches for four years, for McKinley in 1890 and 1900 and then vote for Roosevelt this year. In South Carolina in 1900, nearly all of the votes cast were counted for Tillman's man Bryan. The Afro-American man was to be counted of their voting strength. That's Tillman's idea of "the consent of the governed." What next, for Chicago? Four masked robbers entered a brilliantly lighted restaurant in a prominent part of the city Wednesday morning, lined with cashier and robbed the whole lot. --- Hon. L. Milton Turner, ex-Minister to Liberia, who has been a Democrat for many years has returned to the Republican fold. Turner says there is no place in the Democratic party for the black man. Flirty Japanese families have settled in Louisiana where they will start rice farms. They were welcomed by local Democrats. They are gentle admirers of colored men—from the Orient. --- Parker has little to say, but if elected his acts will be in accord with the wishes of the men who made him a presidential possibility and those are all against the Afro-America dh. As soon as McKinley was elected in 1896 confidence was restored and we have had prosperity ever since. Vote for him and his friends and let the good times continue. --- The American people have a substratum of good sense, and although they may listen to the Democratic speakers, they will vote for Roosevelt and Falkbanks. Under the Roosevelt administration there are more than 5,000 Afro-Americans in the public service of the country and they receive about $3,000,000 in salaries. The Afro-Americans will never turn from the Republican party and go over to the Democrats who are daily murdering the people of their race in the South. The Afro-American people know too well what Democratic success means to be beguiled by the smooth talk of the Democratic spellbinders. --- There are 1,891 Afro-Americans employed by the District government at Washington, D. C., and their salaries aggregate about $850,000. When the chilly days of November come, cover Parker out of sight by your votes for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. Under the Roosevelt administration there are 13 Afro-Americans in the diplomatic and consular service. President Roosevelt has the courage of his convictions, a trait admired by the American people. "THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS THE SHIP; ALL ELSE IS THE SEA."—Frederick Douglass. If you believe in honest politics vote the Republican ticket straight.

"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."

THE BOOK WORLD A POLITICAL HISTORY OF SLAVERY. A Political History of Slavery. By William Henry Smith. With an introduction by Whitelaw Reid. Two volumes. 5vo. Net. $4.50. By mail. $5.00. New York: G. E. Putnam's Sons. "A Political History of Slavery," by Wm. Henry Smith, is an elaborated story of the controversy over the slavery question, from the early days of the 18th century to the close of the Reconstruction period in the United States. There is an introduction by Whitelaw Reid, which tells of Mr. Smith's career and which gives quite an extended criticism of these two very instructive volumes. Mr. Reid says: "This Political History is written with the fullness of knowledge that comes from having seen many of the events from the inside as they occurred, from a lifelong familiarity with and study of the entire range of the subjects, and from access to much unpublished information, in the papers of President Hayes and Governor Brough, in the records of the state office held during a critical part of the period, and in constant personal communication with some of the actors." "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 would influence the cause of important as this or otherwise to the resistance of political forces; that while having an influence in religious contexts played an important role in the formation of the third party. The Society of Friends led all the public meetings as to the employment of the public meetings as to what Jodl Gloarsson, Benjamin Lundy or Chas, of moral influence for the eradication of slavery, would outspoken utterances in the *P*-esyberian, Baptist and Methodist churches at an important place in Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee." "Some years ago one who had been a graduate of the college encounters to show the unfaithfulness of current history in dealing with the genesis of modern abolitionism, Osborne was entitled to be styled the first president of the writer, who challenged "the truth of Osborne to be measured before other Lundy or Garrison, but strangely overpowered by the strength of his striking like that of Lundy—John Woodman, a Friend, who was born in New York, and who was the first to count of his early life and career, exceedingly interesting and of his anti-slavery efforts, he visited North Carolina, where he sought to apose the concessions of Osborne against his "considerations on the Keeping of Negroes," which was published, had a wide circulation. It shows that his life was given to the idea of a movement with painstaking remembrance and counseling, from colony to colony, preaching remembrance and counseling with painstaking detail the "Free Soil Movement," "The Compromise," "The Nomination of Lincoln," and in their discussion exhibits a knowledge, information and breadth of knowledge, of many years' study and contact with the people. Vol. II opens with a chapter on "The Outbreak of the War," in which he says: "In the history of nations weak rulers are treated with scant respect. They become the dupes of Knaves, the instrument of oppression; they imperil governments and imitate their own law. They are the real enemies 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 construed the fundamental law to be as impotent as he was in fact as the executive head of the government in 1860-61. Would members of Congress engaged in the work of disunion have been welcomed at the White House? Would they have bullied him?" Civil War WAR TIMES. Civil War. The Danfels. How, author of the Puritan Republic, 8 v. Pp. 121. $1.50. Indianapolis: Dobbs- Merrill Co. The war of "61-5 will never cease—at least in the present generation, to be a perennial and never falling topic of absorbing interest. This is so, because it was a war of giants because many of the war is still in itsel吞的it's "hair breadth escapes, and the Imminent dendy breach"; its long and dreadful marches; its Gettysburg and Chickamaugas; because the finale of that conflict profoundly influenced the civilizations of the world; because its echoes still reverberate in all the various activities of Because of these things the author's with profit by any one and many incidents of the great strife which has bithorned unwritten, is brought forth by Mr. McHugh. One of the most interesting chapters in the history of the Confederacy toward the "Negro Soldier." The author tells us that, during the institution of the Confederacy toward the "Negro Soldier," the author tells us that, the matter was finally decided; the master favored the enlistment of black soldiers; that the matter was finally decided; the master favored the bill authorizing the enlistment of Negro soldiers, was defeated by but one vote—that the Confederacy had desperate circumstances of the Confederacy became so visible that the leaders were forced to "cause," a draft order was issued to force the black soldier to fight under the Confederacy, and that the Confederacy made effective, the full of Richmond, and the sight of Jefferson Davis was at hand. The Confederacy especially interesting at under its banner. There are other very interesting chapters involved and natural, and the author has written instructively. HISTORY OF THE COMMUNE OF 1871. Translated from the French of Lissaryrue. Transmitted from the French of Lissaryrue. New York International Publishing Co. 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.— "History of the Commune of 1871." I am not sure if it is the title of the book or the writen volume of history, dealing with one of those political convulsions which have so thoroughly shook France to its foundations. The translator has performed the difficult task of translating the grammatical and pointed style of all French prose, and of which Lissagaray appears to have done it. The descriptive art of the author never lags from the opening to the closing chapters of this book of extraordinary happenings. The Commune of 1871 was the culmination of the culmination of a criminal torpor that rested upon those in authority, and which followed the death of Louis Napoleon by wonderful armies under that prince of military strategists Von Moltke. The chapters of this book one might easily imagine that the revolving crucicles of the Revolution were again enacted in Paris and elsewhere upon the The events which led up to the war with Germany are thus described by the author: "Bismarck prepared the war, Napoleon III. wanted it, the great bourgeoise looked on. They might have stopped it by an earnest gesture. M. Thiers contented himself with a grimace. He saw in this war our certain ruin; he knew our terrible inferiority in everything; he could have unite the soft, the tiger-part, the four-pronged, the hard-cheeked palpable to them the folly of the attack, and supported by this strength of opinion, have said to the Tulleries, to Paris if needs be, "War is impossible; we shall combat it as treason." "Poor France! Who will save thee? The humble, the poor, those who for six years contended for thee with the Empire." "While the upper classes sell the nation for a few hours of rest, and the liberals seek to feather their nests without arms, enfeigned, a handful of men, without arms, unprotected, rise up against the still all-powerful despot. On the one hand young men who form the bourgeoise have gone over to the people, faithful children of 1789, resolved to continue the work of the Revolution; on the other hand workingmen unite for the study and conquest of the rights of labor. In vain the empire attempts to split their forces, to seduce the workingmen." The author then follows up with a description of the terrific political struggle between the contending factions which have burst forth in all the horrors of the Communist Paris, Marselles, Toulouse and Narbonne have a history of human slaughter housed in a veritable struggle which for madness and unrest has been a part of the history of the human family. Marselles has been a bitterer been obese to the student of that period are brought forward by the author, in his work which considered the point is an achievement of no inconiality. 永 恒 固 MONEY. BANKING. AND FINANCE. BOLLE'S MONEY. BANKING AND FINANCE. By Albert S. Bolles, Ph. D., LL. D., Author of "Practical Banking," "Bank Officers" etc., and Lecturer in the University of Pennsylvania and Haverford College. Cloth. 12mo, 336 pages. Price, $1.25. American Book Company, New York, Cincinnati, and Chicago. This volume, while designed especially as a text-book for Commercial High Schools and the Commercial Courses of Colleges, is equally suited for the general reader. It is a brief, practical treatise on the Theory of Money, the Practice and Usages of Banking and the Principles of Finance. The author describes the best banking practice of the day, and adds those legal principles which refer to the tower taken up. This is the first book of its scope, filling a place between treatises on methods of bank bookkeeping and works on the theory and history of money and banking. Dr. Bolles is an authority on the subject, and presents the essential principles in a clear and cohesive manner. This book will appeal alike to those who intend to devote themselves to the business of banking, to those who are thus engaged, and to those who are studying the history and theories of banking. --- HENRY WARD REECHER Henry Ward Beecher. By Lyman Abbott. $1.75. Boston and New York Dr. Abbott made the acquaintance of Beecher. Dr. Abbott gave a letter of his form that time forward. He attended Dr. Beecher's church in New York and gave an outline of the character of the man so much a history of the life of Beecher as a child. Dr. Abbott also he appeared to Dr. Abbott. The career of Beecher as an anti-slavery reformer before and after the chapters, full of historical matter of the utmost value. Of Beecher's anti-slavery campaign in England in 1863, He reached London in the continent, his intention being to rest before selling for New York. But fate owed him to the English people, more especially the aristocratic and middle class of the South, and the man who dared to speak of the English people, more especially to invite every species of insult and indignity." This sympathy for the South was Mr. Beecher's arrival, assumed alarming proportions, and rumors were aftent in all probability, would be governed by his sentiment 'o intervene in the struggle of the South. Such was the state of feeling when Dr. Beecher reached England. Of course, great alarm was a prospect, and after much trouble, persevered, and after much trouble, persevered, and after much trouble, persevered, and after much trouble through England, speaking in behalf of the federal government, work of agents of the Conferency who were then seduously faming the name of the slave laborers. Any other man would have weakened, but having promised his friends to prosecute the campaign of mobos. blood-red placards, insults, boot-legs, the British public consider perfectly legitimate to prevent an unpopular speaker from being heard. TWO ON THEIR TRAVELS. "Two on Their Travels" by Ethel Colquhoun. $2.50. New York. A. S. Barnes & Co. "Two on Their Travels" by Ethel Colquhoun, with photographic illustrations, the writer is a very interesting book of travel. The writer describes the out-of-the-way places which she visited with a style entirely natural, and yet which exhibits a style of treatment quite unique. In the chapter called "A voyage of misery and a happy ending," she writes: "If the food was bad the drink was worse. The universal male demand for whiskey led to the production of a bottle bearing a wonderful label and the statement 'Used in the Houses of Parliament.'" The commercial traveler tasted it, put down his glass and stared thoughtfully at the label. Then addressing the head by he said with his slow Glasgow accent: "Whaur-r did you find yon bottle?" The delicate Scots' irony was, I fear entirely lost. It was the same commercial traveler who, a few days later, was invited by Andrew to share a rather less poisonous drink unearched, from somewhere. "Thank ye, no!" he replied. "Aw'm thinkin' aw've he'd as much as guid for-r me." He then related how, feeling thirsty in the middle of the night, he had got up and drunk what he believed to be about half a bottle of water. In the morning he discovered the water bottle full and the whisky bottle empty; "I thought it was vary guld water-r" he remarked. vary guid very interest- places in settlement, series in the of them in ATE.

Dedicated to President Roosevelt, New York: Walker-Ellerson Publishing Co. *Antipodal, as they may seem, the woman and Caste. The first leads to anarchy, the second to oligarchy. The middle way may the American people even walk there.* This is a very interesting story, and being a contribution to the race question, it is important to highlight the mastery over the accepted literary norms, its interest is therefore enhanced. It is the tale of a young boy developing intellect belonging to the prescribed class of black folk. Early in life he begins to cause the lowly people of color to be the lowly people of color. Being fair of complexion, and possessing all of the physical characteristics of the white race, he is called a "nigger," notwithstanding the name "Sally," his ostensible mother was a black Sally. His attachment to his dark mother was the source of time she decided to return to the congenial climate of the South, because of the course of time she had been able to gile for existence at the North, against the tireless competition of New England and the South, by his plaques, worked as a farm laborer on the plantation of Colonel Custis, and comfort to his hard working mother, who had been a friend and an encounter with the "Jim Crow" cur, and soon after his arrival at the place where he was born, became the victim of petty persecutions, because of his race identity, which cultivated his life as a farm laborer was one dreary round of uninviting and monotonous life, and the raid of the raidship of old "Uncle Kish," a typical bellum nigrum, and Joe Watkins, a man with whom he hunted possums at night. Denied admission to the local public school, he was allowed to grow in illiteracy and ignorance but for the philanthropic spirit adjoining plantation who gave him private lessons. As his young mind comprehended the nature of his apache, and he fretted like a caged bird, he heavily upon his sensitive spirit. On a hunting expedition one night with the wife of a man who was innocent and unable to resist the toils of the law, and was condemned to a public whipping for a crime of which he was innocent, he and his comrade sole wished to the incident for which he had been convicted, and his commission was not however, by a stay of execution obtained by a friend, he returns to his lowly habitat, and is shortly afterward taken to the court in order that there might be no doubt that he was innocent. The rescue of this woman instead of attacking her neighbors only served to increase theirWhile in a delicatious condition, and nursed by his benefactress, a very dramatic case was brought to the "Great House" where he is installed as one of the family members. Treated as an adopted son, he is finally treated as an adopted son, he is finally second time he meets Theodore Rosewell, who once again comes into his life. Falling in love with a white girl living on an adjoining estate, his suffering because of a disparity between their race and stations that he is nearly driven crazy—was on his mind when he loved his love to the beautiful daughter of inexpressible contempt. It is just at this climax that it becomes known that he is in reality a white man of good birth, who had been given to "Mammy Sally" when a babe to raise, in order that his mother might be spared the humiliation and disgrace of a clandestine marriage with a man who had killed her brother in a duel at college. The literary power of the writer may be seen from the following description of a Negro burying ground: "It marked the spot of a Negro graveyard. Here in the bramble infested with reptiles and the haunt of rabbits, slept the nameless and undonored men of toll; the faithful sons of Africa, who for many generations had watered these very fields with the sweat of their brow, bearing with remarkable patience the subjugating yoke of slavery, going to their toll from day to day and returning "like a galley slave to his dungeon" night after night without change and without hope, only to fall down in the harvest field or the long furrow and be carted out to find rest at last under the shade of this old tree." nse is one co., where ants first r. it has now the much as solid em- bobs that is becom- v purses; hilipplaying and silver ery knobs BALTI CHICAGO CHICAGO CHICAGO ST.

NATIONAL COUNCIL NATIONAL COUNCIL ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY. We the representatives of more than 10,000,000 of Afro-Americans, feel that we have a cause that ought to have a fair and impartial hearing at the bar of public opinion. We are citizens of this country and not our choice, but this opinion but by nativity is much a part of our composite nationality as any other element it contains. We have always been loyal to our greatest national struggles. We have always been enemies of our country but have always been found on the side of law and order. We have never been numbered with the anarchists, socialists or communists, who threaten the peace and prosperity of our common country, but have always been ready and willing to discharge the duty as citizens in each and every walk of life. We therefore appeal to all patroltic and fair-minded citizens of all creeds and nationalities to give our cause a fair un prejudiced and patient hearing, and render us that justice which we merit at the hands of the American people. This and we do not fear the results. That we are unalterably opposed to the inhuman and indiscriminate system of depriving citizens of our country of life and liberty without due process of law, and the inhuman and indiscriminate system of asking the people of the United States, the pulpit and the press, the state and national legislatures, to encourage crystalization of such a public sentiment and the enactment of such laws as will absolutely prohibit the perpetration of these outrages that blacken every aspect of our civilization and places us in bad repute at home and abroad. Condemn Crime. We wish the American people to understand that we join hands with the best people of the country in emphasizing our condemnation of any crime against the womanhood of the land and have no sympathy for any wretch. The legal appeal is in the interest of society generally when we ask that the mob be subordinate to the law. In the South, because of intolerance and race prejudice, a great many of its peaceful and law-abiding citizens are denied their civil and suffrage rights solely upon the ground of their color. Mean, proscriptive and humiliating legislation is continually being made a part of the statutory laws. The Afro-American is running riot. In the face of the organic law of the nation, and in bitter opposition to the enforcement of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, to the Constitution, the Constitution, the allegiance; written in the constitution by the blood of thousands of our countrymen and the expenditure of billions of treasure, in the face of the righteousness of a just cause and by the power of might, almost an entire race in one portion of our country is denied the power of unjust laws of disfranchisement. Race Prejudice. We view with alarm the rapid spread of race prejudice in this country. For a number of years an active and aggressive campaign has been waged, which seeks to arouse a spirit of race hatred in all sections of this land. Whatever this may mean, we have engaged in this unholy work, we wish to show our country, that we are the innocent victims of an unjust and an unmerited attack. As a race, we have entered earnestly and patiently to enter into harmonious relations with the life and activities of the nation; to prove our loyalty and devotion to this nation with our sincere desire to be identified with its prosperity and to even share its failures, if failures must come. It should not, therefore, be a matter of surprise when we raise our voices against treatment that is so unwarranted. It is not only that we are an individual that true greatness and enduring success rest upon righteousness. No one can wrong his brother without injuring himself, and a community in which the moral sentiment of the people is not strong enough to restrain organized lawlessness is in danger of being engulfed. It is safe to patriotism than to encourage apathy. It is better to inspire a people with hope and an ambition to become all God has created them capable of becoming to to fill them with despair. Here in this great city are assembled the nations of the earth. The people in contact with each other. They are broadening their sympathies. This spirit of good will is shown by the kindly attention bestowed upon the Filippinos and naked Igorrotes and other dark races at the World's Fair. The only people who are interested in the human sympathy and good will are the Afro-Americans; refinement and culture count for naught when the individual has African blood in his veins. Many of the Afro-Americans are stockholders in the great Louisiana Purchase farm, yet they are among many of the public places of accommodation. We wish to declare that the cry of social equality made by those who seek our humiliation is without the least foundation, and those who make this argument are wrong. These injustices should be checked. This can be accomplished only by a quickened public sentiment. Appeal to Ministry We therefore call upon the Christian ministries to lift up their wives against this growing evil; we ask the friends of humanity to give their assistance to this great work. We implore the press of the country to stop magnifying our vices and say something of our race whose American man and woman in this broad land to teach their children moral rectitude and the practice of thrift and economy. Let us insure respect for the law and condemn those of our race whose American man and woman in this broad land to teach their children and humiliation to the Afro-American people. We now place the case of the Afro-American in equity before the American people and ask only for a fair and impartial judgment. H. Steward, Kentucky, President.

He has also kept well informed on doings in Washington, and distributed much valuable literature among them. Congressman F. C. Stevens will speak on the 14th and 15th amendments to the constitution of the United States and the disfranchising of the Afro-Americans of the South at the Mens Sunday Club at its opening meeting for the winter season at Pillow Bowl Church Sunday afternoon, September 25th, at 4 o'clock p.m. The public cordially invited. MATTHEW DRIVER The increase of American divorces has been remarkably rapid. No longer ago than 1870 only 3½ per cent of marriages were dissolved by the courts. In 1900 the percentage was 8, and if the same rate of increase is kept up the closing year of the twentieth century will find 58.8 per cent of all American marriages dissolved by the courts. In other words, the year 2000, if we go on as we are going, will find 58.8 per cent of divorces living in the country. The divorces granted in all other civilized countries put together do not equal the number granted in the United States. And while our population is growing at the rate of 23 per cent per annum the number of divorced persons is increasing at the rate of nearly 70 per cent per annum. All of which may well make sober the strength of a nation is the marriage alters rather than its divorce courts, asks themselves. Whither are we drifting?—New York World. JUST OPENED!

"I want to say a word also about Illinois. It was here the republican party was elected. It is here that the party of Abraham Lincoln has always enjoyed a faithful zealous and successful support. "By reason of her population and material resources and wealth, Illinois ranks among the first of the states of the Union. Her representation in public life is in keeping with her proud position among her sister states. She has contributed many great names to American history, but she has never been more faithfully or politically involved. She is the coeficient of the nation than she is at this time. No member of the United States senate ranks higher, as an influential, efficient, hard-working representative of his state, than Senator Shelby M. Cullom. He enjoys the confidence and respect of every member of that body, democrat and republican alike, and, while I am not here to give advice or to intermediate with domestic affairs, yet I trust I may, with propriety, make the statement that all his colleagues in that body, without respect to party in the House, are the same that Illinois intends to continue honoring herself by continuing to honor him with high trust he now so creditably holds. "Senator Hopkins is a comparatively new member in that body, but he has already taken rank there as one of the ablest and most brilliant men in it. It was easy for him to pass from his long and conspicuous service in the house to his new field of labor and duty, where, as the years go by, he will add to his laurels and to the prestige of his state. "It is impossible for me to speak of your membership in the house except collectively. It is enough to say that no state has a stronger representation in that great parliamentary body over which presides that inimitable genius, sterling republican, grand patriot and old-school republican, Senator Joseph G. Cannon. Oklahoma is more about Illinois. In one sense of the word it is not important to the people of Ohio who is governor of your state, but in another and broader sense it is the common concern of all the people of this whole country. "We want to see a victory in your state all along the line, not only for Roosevelt, but also for Deneen. "You are fortunate in having so able and so brilliant a leader as your candidate for governor. "He has the confidence and respect not only of the people of Illinois but also of the whole nation." Their Little Spat. Boggs—I hear you have fallen out with your sweetheart. Joggs—She.
