THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3- Its correspondents are able and energetic. GEORGE WASHINGTON BY JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL OLDIER and statesmen, rarest unison; High-poised example of great duties done Simply as breathing, a world's honors worn As life's indifferent gifts to all men born; Dumb for himself, unless it were to God, But for his barefoot soldiers eloquent, Tramping the snow to coral where they trod, Held by his awe in hollow-eyed content; Modest, yet firm as Nature's self; unblamed Save by the men his nobler temper shamed; Not honored then or now because he wooed The popular voice, but that he still withstood; Broad minded, higher scouted, there is but one Who was all this and ours, and all men's. —WASHINGTON. Never to see a nation born Hath been given to mortal man, Unless to those who, on that summer morn, Gazed silent when the great Virginian Unsheathed the sword whose fatal flash Shot union through the incoherent clash Of our loose atoms, crystallizing them Around a single will's unplant stem. And making purpose of emotion rash. Out of that scabbard sprang, as from its womb. Nebulous at first but hardening to a star, Through mutual shade of sunburst and of gloom The common faith that made us what we are. He chose, as men Nor ever faltered Of petty cares that But kept right on Strong to the end, The popular temp Wasted its wind-breath The noisy marvel His soul sate still Virginia gave us to Cast in the massif Of those high-station Which into grande She gave us this What shall we give As in the dear old Before the inevit Mother of states Thou gavest us a And we owe always Be to us evermore As we forget thou Mother of States Virginia, fitly name Extracts from Fa Address He chose, as men choose, where most danger showed, Nor ever faltered 'neath the load Of petty cares that gall great hearts the most, But kept right on the strenuous up-hill road. Strong to the end, above complaint or boast; The popular tempest on his rock-malled coast Wasted its wind-borne spray, The noisy marvel of a day; His soul sate still in its unstormed abode. Virginia gave us this imperial man Cast in the massive mold Of those high-statured ages old Which into grander forms our mortal metal ran; She gave us this unblemished gentleman: What shall we give her back but love and praise As in the dear old unestrang-ed days Before the inevitable wrong began? Mother of states and undiminished men, Thou gavest us a country, giving him. And we owe always what we owed thee then. Be to us evermore as thou wast then, As we forget thou hast not always been, Mother of States and unpolluted men, Virginia, fitly named from England's manly queen! Extracts from Farewell Address of Washington One of the expedients of party to acquire influence, within particular districts, is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heart-burnings which spring from these misrepresentations; they tend to render alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection. To the efficacy and permanency of your union a government for the whole is indispensable. All obstructions to the execution of the laws, all combinations and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract or awe the regular deliberations and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive of the fundamental principle, and of fatal tendency. Towards the preservation of your government, and the permanency of your present happy state, it is requisite not only that you steadily discountance irregular oppositions to its acknowledged authority, but also that you resist with care the spirit of innovation upon its principles, however specious the pretexts. It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government. Promote, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as the structure of a government gives force to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened. As a very important source of strength and security, cherish public credit. Observe good faith and justice to wards all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all. A passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is, in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world. Taking care always to keep our selves, by suitable establishments, or a respectable defensive posture, we may safely trust to temporary allances for extraordinary emergencies. Harmony and a liberal intercourse with all nations are recommended by policy, humanity and interest. There can be no greater error than to expect or calculate upon real favors from nation to nation. It is an illusion which experience must cure which a just pride ought to discard. All Men Paid All Men Paid Him Tribute There is no qualification in the praise great men have given Washington. Those who have spoken or written of him at all have done so in terms of absolute ecology, Gladstone, for instance, said of him: "I have almost idolized him for sixty years." Later he wrote: "Washington is to my mind the purest figure in history. I look upon Washington among great and good men as one peculiarly good and great. He has been to me for more than forty years a light upon the path of life." It was Lord Erskine who said: "I have a large acquaintance with the most valued and exalted class of men, but you are the only human being for whom I ever felt an awful reverence. I sincerely pray God to grant a long and serene evening to a life so gloriously devoted to the universal happiness of the world." John Richard Green, the student of great men, wrote of Washington: "No nobler figure ever stood in S choose, where most danger showed, neath the load gall great hearts the most, the strenuous up-hill road. above complaint or boast; rest on his rock mailed coast borne spray, of a day; in its unstormed abode. this imperial man the mold aured ages old or forms our mortal metal ran; unblemished gentleman: he her back but love and praise unestrang-ed days role wrong began? und undiminished men, country, giving him, what we owed thee then. as thou wast then, hast not always been, and unpolluted men, ed from England's manly queen! firewell ess of Washington Promote, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge.

And Lord Brougham declared Washington to be "the only man, in fact, upon whom the epithet 'great,' so thoughtlessly lavished by men, may be justly bestowed." The Marquis de Chastelux, a French officer and a member of the French Academy, in 1786 said of Washington: "Brave without temerity, laborious without ambition, generous without prodigality, noble without pride, virtuous without severity, he seems always to have confined himself within those limits beyond which the virtues, clothing themselves in more lively but more changeable and doubtful colors, may be mistaken for faults." Lord Byron wrote: Where may the wearied eye repose, When gazing on the great, Where neither guilty glory glows, Nor despicable state? Yes on the face, the last, the best— The Cincinnatus of the West, Who envy dared not hate— Brounham the figure of Washington, To make man blush there was but one! ```markdown ``` In the year 1729 Rev. James Marye, a Huguenot refugee, and his bride lauded og Virginia soil. This man was destined to fill a position of great trust and importance. He was to be the spiritual guide* and adviser of Mary, the mother of Washington, and her family. After years of research it has lately been proved that it was he that gave to the young George those famous "Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation," which bore fruit in the production of that most consumable flower of American flamour, George Washington. That these "rules" played a most important part in the formation of Washington's character has been acknowledged by all of his biographers; in fact, the wisest and noblest of these "rules" are familiar in nearly every home in the country, but whence they came; whether they were the product of Washington's own brain, or whether they came from some outside and unknown source, and what this source was, has been for over a century a matter of dispute and conjecture. This learned clergyman, Rev. James Marye, belonged to a prominent Catholic family of Rouen, France, and was educated for the priesthood in the Jesuit college of that city. In 1726 he renounced the Catholic faith, went to England and was ordained in the Church of England by the bishop of ```markdown ``` GEORGE WASHINGTON London. There, in 1728, he married Lettia Marta Anna Stale, a sister of Rev. Theodorus Stale, a famous minister in the early days of Virginia, and who was at that very time rector of a church in St. George's parish, a few miles from Fredericksburg. On first coming to Virginia Rev. James Marye became the minister of a settlement of Huguenots at Manacan, or Manakinton, in Goochiald (now Powhatan county), on the James river, above Richmond, and so excellent was his reputation that the good people of Fredericksburg desired him for a rector. Accordingly, in 1735, as shown by the early ventry book, the church wardens asked leave of Gov. Gooch, as was the colonial custom, to call Rev. James Marye to their pulpit. This request was granted, and in October of the same year he assumed charge of St. George's parish, the principal church of which was in Fredericksburg, succeeding Rev. Patrick Henry, uncle of the famous orator of that name. Thus began the long and eventful pastorate of the Marye family over this historic church, the first Rev. James Marye serving for thirty-four years, and being followed by his son, Rev. James Marye, Jr., who ministered until his death, in 1780. As was the custom of clergyman in those days, the first Rev. James Marye conducted an academy in connection with his church. It was this academy that Washington attended. Except the tutors in families, the educational advantages in Virginia in 1745 were extremely limited. It was the custom of the wealthier families to send their sons to England to finish Defective Page their studies at some of the great universities. Washington's two elder brothers received this advantage, but the death of his father made a change in the family affairs. A large property was left to them, but there was little ready money and there were several children to educate and provide for. Hence the education of Washington, to his lifelong regret, was limited. It was under the care of this Huguenot that our great state man received his most valued instruction. Rev. Jonathan Joicher, teacher of Mrs. George Washington's son, John Curtis, says that George Washington had for his first teacher "a convict servant whom his father had bought for a schoolmaster." This convict was most probably one of a shiploid of convicts brought by Augustine Washington (George Washington's father) from England in 1737. After the death of his father (April 12, 1743), George, who was then 11 years old, was sent to live with his half-brother at the old homestead of Wakefield, in Westmoreland county, where he was born. Two years later he returned to live with his mother opposite Fredericksburg. It was then he became a pupil of Rev. James Marye. John Fiske, in his "Old Virginia and Her Neighbors," states that at this time Washington attended an ex- GEORGE WASHINGTON cellent academy in Fredericksburg, of which Rev. James Marye was master. Paul Leicester Ford, in his "The True George Washington," page 63, gives the following interesting account: "On the death of his father, Washington went to live with his brother Augustine, in order, it is presumed, that he might take advantage of a good school near Wakefield, kept by one Williams, but after a time he returned to his mother and attended the school kept by Rev. James Marye, in Fredericksburg. "It has been universally asserted by his biographers that he studied no foreign language, but direct proof to the contrary exists in a copy of Patrick's Latin translation of Homer, printed in 1742, the flyleaf of which bears in a schoolboy hand the inscription: "Hune mii quaeo (bove Vir) Libelum" "Redde, si forsau tenues repertum" "Uut Selias qul sum sine fraude scrip- "It is thus evident that the reverend teacher gave Washington at least the first elements of Latin, but it is equally clear that the boy, like most others, forgot it with the greatest facility as soon as he ceased studying." Among the manuscript copies of George Washington preserved in the State archives at Washington, the earliest of which bears the date of 1745, is a large manuscript book, in which in a boyish handwriting are 110 "Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company, and Conversation." But these "Rules of Civility," as they are generally called, have been ascribed by the biographers to an absolutely apocharyal source. Washington Irving, Chief Justice Marshall and Henry Cabot Lodge knew not whence they came. One of the latest of his biographers, Henry Cabot Lodge, has the following to say: "It was reserved for the storms of war to reveal the source of the 'rules.' A little volume was found in a Virginia library." On the flyleaf, he says, was the name of George Washington, written in a boyish hand. It was entitled "Young Man's Companion." It contained general truths and precepts, which, together with Hale's "Contemplations," so he says, may have furnished the basis of the "rules." This "Young Man's Companion" was by W. Mather, written in a plain and easy style, and was printed in 1742, and seemed to contain much varied and useful information, such as lessons in arithmetic, surveying, the drawing up of legal documents, measuring land and lumber, gardening, etc. But Mr. Lodge is in error. Moncure D. Conway has recently brought to light the true history of the "Rules of Civility." Mr. Conway, after an investigation extending through years, with the aid of Dr. Garnett, of the British museum, found in that great JAMES institution a volume containing these self-same rules, written in French. One edition of this volume was printed in Rouen, and was among the textbooks studied by young James Marye when attending the Jesuit college of that city. This proves conclusively that it was he who translated these rules to his pupils in Fredericksburg, since he was the only man there who understood the French tongue, his native speech. The variations in the manuscript left by Washington are exactly such as a young boy would make in following the eral instruction of his teacher. With these revelations it would seem that the dispute of historians and biographers over the history of these famous "rules" has at length been settled. Belica Worth Much Money. Relics of Lord Nelson are worth a small fortune. An enameled gold telescope, once in the possession of the great admiral, was sold recently for £40; the wine flagon of Admiral Brueys, taken by Nelson, fetched 50 guineas; but a letter written by the gallant hero to Lady Hamilton just before he died realized the huge sum of £1,030. For Mutual Admiration: "In general, we only praise heartily those who admire us." Just what was said the other day about the mutual admiration society of literary folk who write "Appreciations" of other literary folk. Moral: If you want Jones to give you a good word behind your back, give him a good word when he is standing just behind you." Brandy Bottle Had Leaked Effect of High Position Peggy's Low-Backed Car One Idea of Contentment "There are probably in fairly prosperous years no fewer than 10,000,000 persons in poverty in the United States; that is to say, underfed, underclothed, and poorly housed," says Robert Hunter in "Poverty." "Of these about 4,000,000 persons are public paupers. Over 2,000,000 workmen are employed from four to six months in the year. About 500,000 male immigrants arrive yearly and seek work in the very districts where unemployment is greatest. Nearly half the families in the country are properless. Over 1,700,000 little children are forced to become wage earners when they should still be in school. About 5,000,000 women find it necessary to work and about 2,000,000 are employed in the factories and mills. Probably no fewer than 1,000,000 workers are injured or killed each year while doing their work and about 10,000,000 of the persons now living will, if the present ratio is kept up, die of the preventable disease, tuberculosis." Figures, ago Jacob A. Rils collected figures which showed that about one-third of the people of New York city were dependent upon charity at some time during the eight "I was tipsy just once in my life," said Col. Knight. "I was going through to the Pacific coast, and during a short wait in Chicago I ran to a nearby saloon and asked for a bottle of three star brandy. "Before I could stop him, the bartender ran a big corkscrew into the cork, and I said to him: "Don't you do that. Think you're the only man in the country has a corkscrew?" He she wrapped the bottle up quick and passed it over and I ran for the train. My berth was made up and I thrust the bottle in the rack overhead without sampling it. Then I turned in. "Morning broke and I woke up with a feeling that I was one of an all-night party that had tarnied with the juice at the expense of sleep. First I wondered where I had been, and then where I was at the moment. Then I realized that I was on the train and wondered if I could get out of the bunk. "My head felt like a sheet lead hive with the bees getting ready to swarm. I pushed the button and when the porter came I asked him: "Many people," said a veteran hotel clerk, "have an exaggerated notion of their own importance, and fancy that their station in life should secure even the impossible. On one occasion, when our house was crowded to the limit of its capacity, a man of prominence in the political world appeared at the desk, accompanied by his wife, who held a high estimate of the influence* and potentiality of her husband. He wished a suite of rooms. I regretted that it was impossible to serve him, and at that juncture the woman nudged her spouse and whisper, 'Tell him who you are.' His face was familiar, and though he had not given the name, I thought I knew his identity, and some one who stepped up at the moment and greeted him verified my conjecture; but I had no rooms, and if he had been of the royal family I could not have accommodated him. "On another occasion a permanent guest—a governor—commissioned me to get tickets for a play then having When first I saw sweet Peggy, Twas on a market day; As I looked at the grass, and sat Upon a truss of hay; But when that hay was blooming grass, Twas on a market day; No flower was there that could compare With the blooming girl I sing. As she sat in the low-backed car, Twas at the market and bounds his tithes Never asked for the缸; But just rubbed his ould poll. And looked after the low-backed car. In battle's wild commotion, The proud and mighty Mars, Washed away the earth and bounds his tithes Of death in warlike cars; While Peggy, peaceful goddess, Has darts in her bright eye That knelt men down in the market town, As right and left they fly; With the proud and backed car, Than battle more dangerous far- For the doctor's art. Cannot cure the heart With the blooming girl I sing. "I believe the unlettered people of the mountain districts are the happiest people on earth," remarks a representative from one of the Southern states, who was very strenuous in his campaigns during the recent election. "I base this belief on just one experience of mine. I was billed to make a speech in North Carolina. To get there it was necessary for me to go horseback a distance of about eleven miles. "I was pushing on, and came to a river where it was necessary to be ferried over. There was a horn hanging on a tree by the side of the river and a sign read: "Blow this horn." "I blow the horn, and in about two minutes a stalwart female made $2.40 PER YEAR. of Poverty years previous to 1890. The New York state board of charities reported that 29 per cent of the people of the state of New York in 1897 found it necessary to apply for relief. In the borough of Manhattan 60,403 families were evicted from their homes in 1903. This is about 14 per cent of the total number of families. During the year 1903 in Boston over 136,000 persons, or 20 per cent of the population, were aided by the public authorities alone. It is estimated that 336,000 persons were aided through private charities. And there are only about 606,000 persons in Boston. Mr. Hunter calls attention to certain facts in regard to the ownership of property based on the census. He shows that 84 per cent of the farmers in this country are renters and nearly 19 per cent of the farms are mortgaged. The census for 1900 shows that more than half the families in the United States do not own homes. The case is at its worst in the cities. In Boston 81 per cent and in New York (Manhattan) 94 per cent do not own their own homes. The property of the nation is so divided that one family in every 100 owns more property than is owned by all the remaining ninety-nine. "Where did I get this?" Where did I get this: "Dunno, boss, but you do look bad." "Did I walk in my sleep?" "No, sir, not so I'd notice it." "Well, assist me out if you think my head will go through the passage to the lavatory," I said, and while I was washing up he began to arrange the section for the day. "When I got back to where he was working he said, with a grin of great glee: "I tse got the clue to the extraneous situation, boss. Here it is," and he held up a half bottle of brandy and said: "I guess you didn't have to walk fur." "But, the cork has not been pulled!" I remarked, and the coon's face took on a look of amazement; but I readily understood what had happened. "The brandy had been leaking through the perforated cork, drop by drop, upon my head and face all night long and I had accumulated a regular bun by absorption.

I telephoned the box office that I wished four tickets for that evening, well knowing that reservations for choice seats were being made a week in advance. I received the expected response. 'No tickets.' I reported to the governor. He was deeply disappointed, but brightened up as he said. 'Did you tell the man in the box office who wanted the tickets?' I admitted I had not, and he asked me to call up again and bridge that omission. I called on the telephone again, and told the box office man, as I had been instructed, that the tickets I wanted were for Governor _____. He flashed back on the wire: 'Governor be _____. If he were a king he couldn't get the tickets.' 'What did he say?' said the governor, who stood at my elbow. I would have been almost willing to sacrifice my place for the privilege of repeating the message, but I was considerate, so I replied: 'He says he is very sorry to disappoint you, governor, but everything has been sold.'

A very large majority of the voters of this country said by their votes last November, that they indulged the words and actions of President Roosevelt in regard to the war, not in hope and courage, for we had very much feared that the oedipobists would do more damage than they did. Now, President Roosevelt, as the representative of these millions of citizens, has again spoken to President Roosevelt, which we hope will receive the hearty indorsement they deserve. As the guest of honor at the Lincoln dinner of the Republican club of New York, President Roosevelt spoke no noble words, but this vale of tears. The entire address is replete with wisdom, logic and sound good sense, but we are more interested in what he said on the "race problem," as the spirit of fairness, which is embodied in it, is of weight and character. For instance, he says, "OUR EFFORT SHOULD BE TO SECURE TO EACH MAN. WHATEVER HIS COLOR, EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY, EQUALITY OF LIFE, AND THE LAW, AS A PEOPLE STRIVING TO SHAPE OUR ACTIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GREAT LAW OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WE CANNOT AFFORD TO TAKE PART IN OR BE INDIFFERENT TO THE OPPRESSION OR MALTREATMENT OF ANY MAN, AGAINST CRUSHING DISADVANTAGES BASED ON HIS OWN INDUSTRY. ENERGY, SELF-RESPECT AND PERSEVERANCE, STRUGGLED UPWARD TO A POSITION WHICH WOULD ENTITIH HIM TO THE RESPECT OF HIS FELLOWS, IF ONLY HIS SKIN WERE OF A DIFFERENT HUE." Had he said no more, this would be enough, as this is all we ask; but, he said a great deal more and among the people who furnish food for our reflection than other things, viz. "In the first place, it is true of the colored man, as it is true of the white man, that in the long run his fate must depend far more upon his own effort than upon the efforts of any outside friend." "Every vicious, venal or ignorant colored man is an even greater foe to his own race than to the community as a whole." "The colored man's self-respect entitles him to do that share in the political work of the country, which is warranted by his individual ability and integrity, and the position he has won for himself. But the prime requisite for race is moral and industrial upifting." "Laziness and shiftlessness, these, and above all, vice and criminality of every kind, are evils more potent for harm to the black race than all acts of oppression, of white men put together. "The colored man who fails to condemn crime in another colored man, who fails to co-operate in all lawful acts, is giving injustice, is giving justice, is covet enemy of his own people, as well as an enemy to all the people. "LAW-ABIDING BLACK MEN SHOULD. FOR THE SAKE OF THEIR RACE, BE FOREMOST IN WARFARE AND INDUSTRIAL EFFICIENCY CAN BE RAISED HIGH ENOUGH AMONG THE BLACK RACE, THEN ITS FUTURE ON THIS CONTINENT IS SECURE. THE STABILITY AND PURITY OF THE WELFARE OF THE BLACK RACE, AS IT IS TO THE WELFARE OF EVERY RACE. "In the next place the white man, who, if only he is willig, can help the colored man more than all other white men put together, is the white man he is his neighbor, North or South." He then quoted from an address of Right Reverend Robert Strange, bishop coadjutor of South Carolina, which appeared in the Southern Churchman, October 8, 1904, and whose name line of his sentiments, and said: "Surely we can all of us join in expressing our substantial agreement with the principles thus laid down by this North Carolina bishop, this representative of the South," the Christian thought of the South, and words sufficiently strong to express our exalted opinion of President Roosevelt, so will only say HE IS ALL RIGHT. WHAT HIGHER EDUCATION HAS DONE FOR THE SOUTHERN AFRO-AMERICAN. Origin of the Monocole. The proposal to permit the use of spectacles to British soldiers is a reminder that from their prohibition came the monocle. About a century ago an army order was issued forbidding officers to wear eyeglasses or spectacles. But a short-sighted officer belonging to a crack regiment had no mind to resign his commission or stumble blindly, and he invented the single eyeglass. When called to account by the authorities he claimed that the monocle, being of the singular number, did not contravene the order against spectacles and glasses in the plural. Red tape accepted this literal rendering of the law, and, becoming popular in the British army the monocle was adopted by civilian beaus.

THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER THE BOOK WORLD A POLITICAL HISTORY OF SLAVERY. A Political History of Slavery. By William Henry Smith. With an introduction by J. Read. Two volumes. $8.00. Net. $4.50. By Ralph M. New York. G. P. 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 Reconstruction period in the United States. Here are an introduction by Michael Reed, which gives quite an extended criticism of these two very instructive vol- strategists Van Mohlbe. In reading certain chapters of this book one might easily imagine that the revolting crucibles of the Revolution were again being enacted in the states and elsewhere throughout the country. 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 bourgeoisie looked on. They might have stopped it by an earnest gesture. M. Thiers' contented himself with grieve. He saw in this war our certain ruin; he knew our terrible inferiority in everything; he could have known the truth." Mr. Reld says: "This Political History that comes from having seen many of the events from the inside as they occurred, that comes from having seen many of the entire range of the subjects, and from access to much unpublished information, and Governor Brough, in the records of the state office held during a critical part of the war, and communication with some of the actors." Again: "As time goes on fuller justice is being served by the people by which a free people enlarged the bounds of freedom, to communities and Anglo-Saxon mongols for the correction of wrongs and the better development of the country." Greeley first among public educators, to Chase and Seward, Stanford and Welles, and finally to the teachers, and finally to the peer, if not the superior of them all, and certainly the most reliable politician of the time, Abraigson. In Chapter 1, the author says: "If there is one thing clearly established, it is that the Constitution, which was formed the Constitution; who, recognizing that such an institution was inconsistent with the great principles of civil liberty for which the colonies had contended, and which constitute the basis of our Republic, must be greater a name so repulsive to free-speech than any other peculiar institution, a great sentiment of that day. There was no state feeling that it was injurious to society was in no sense dependent upon sectional lines; its ultimate extinction was general, and it was to be the rule. This came early north of Maryland, and it is not unreasonable to suppose that if there had been no institution would have followed in Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, Kentucky and "Opposition to the institution of slavery or the confinement of slaves, sinfulness or from confession and social policies. The resistance of those who with Mr. Jefferson condemned it because they were not willing to impotent as his, or succumbed to the violence of political forces; while that having its source in religious feelings played a major role in the third party.

"Some years ago one who had been conspicuous as a leader in the anti-slavery faithfulness of current history in dealing with the genesis of modern abolitionism, and thereupon a controversy sprang up in the Apostle of Emancipation, Geo. W. Julian, in a letter to which chancellor John J. Osborne, chief minister, has declared the claims of Osborne to be mentioned before either Landy or Garicken, but strangely over the years he was strikingly like that of Ludy—John Abraham, who had taken up Jesse Jones and had 120. Then follows an account of his early life and career, an exceeding number of sentiments. "When about 36 years of age he visited North Carolina, where he sought to arouse the consciences of slave owners and to prevent the disdiccations on the Keeping of Negroes." After his death in 1772, his journal, written in 1773, shows a wide circulation. It shows that his life was the work of emancipation. He traveled from colony to colony, preaching remon- CIVIL WAR TIMES Civil War Times. By Daniel Walt Stein. (New York: New York Public Republic, 8 yo, P42; 11 yo, L150.

This is so. because it those giants still survive its vicious attitudes; its hair breadth escapes, and the imminent murder; its fierce fury; its fierce murders; its gettysburg and Chickasaw murders; the finale of that conflict profoundly; and the various activities of the world; because its echoes still re- liver the various activities of American life. Because of these things the author's writing with profit; by any one and many indigents of the great strife which has hitherto unwritten, is brought forth by Mr. Howe. --- HISTORY OF THE COMMUNE OF 1811 History of the Commune of 1811 translated from the French of Lissagasar New York International Publishing Co. "History of the Commune of 1871" written by Eleanor Marx Axelving is a well-titled volume of history, dealing with one of those political convulsions which have no immediate shock France to its foundations. The translator has performed the difficult translation of the grammatic and pointed style of all French prose, and of which Lissagaray appears to the author. The descriptive art of the author never lags from the opening to the closing chapters of this book of extraordinary interest. The Commune of 1871 was the culmination of French weakness and imbecility—which was the result of the rested upon those in authority, and which followed swiftly upon the heels of the French revolt. The armies under that grudge of militaries strategists Von Molke. One might easily imagine that the revolving crucibles of the Revolution were again being ensured in the country. The events which led up to 'the war of Germany' are thus described by the author: "The events which prepared the war, Napoleon III, wanted to kill him. They might have stopped it by an attack on him, but he himself with a grimace. He saw in this attack in war, our terrible infidelity in our everything; united the Left, the tiers-part, the journalists, in our folly of the attack, and supported by this strength of opinion, have said to the French, 'We must defeat the impossible; we shall combat it as treason.' Poor France! Who will save thee?' The humble, the poor, those who for six years have been fighting." --- --- HENRY WARD REECHER Henry Ward Beecher. By Lyman Abbott. N.12. St. Louis. and New York. Boston. Dr. Abbott made the acquaintance of Becher. Dr. Abbott gave a letter of his from that time forward. He attended Dr. Becher's church in New York and gave an outline of the character of the great man so much a history of the life of Becher as he appeared to Dr. Abbott. . . . ANTISEMITISM. Recent events in Russia have given the author a great translation from the French, and its pages must have been written many times. The author is Hebrew, and his most painful interest to the Jewish question. The author is himself a Hebrew, and he is particularly applied in the title to his book, but this book is not a book in the author's judgment in the forming of his opinions. The case is certainly stated in the book, and it is attributed with fairness. The fault is to be not all on the part of the Gentile author, and the fault is with having brought much of the trouble to his people by manifest shortness. The treatment given the subject is high-ranking, and the relations between Jews and Gentiles are traced from the earliest times. Perhaps we learn how much of prescribing has been carried on reciprocally between the He-Nei, and has resulted a greater mixture of race and religion. The author does not believe in race distinctions whether these be founded upon upstarts, or those of the other part. So long, however, as the author prevails that races are distinct from one another and inferiority on the other part and inferiority on the other part, the author is not sure of this country, and this book can be read with profit by many who are called upon to decide questions daily arising from this country, and this book can be ```markdown ``` Johnson's Forms of English Poetry, by Charles F.

This Explains Itself Dear Sir: In reading an article in your last addition of the Appeal of one Wm. Moore I wish you to correct that he were not at my club rooms the Jessamine playing cards as your paper states. As there has been no cards played there since the New Administration you must correct this mistake or cease sending your paper at once. Yours Respectfully Henry Mosley, Mgr. IN THE HILLS OF JAPAN. Panorama One of the Most Beautiful in the World. On every side of us, from our feet to the golden distance far away, the world-stretched mountains, peak upon peak, as thick as jinks in a Chinese harbor, and range beyond range inexhaustible; no sounds of mortal life came up inside the rock, while the river, gentian blue, wound silent in transparent pools below. The panorama in Japan on a splendid summer day is impossible to describe to an English reader who has not been in the East. For such a one will read between the lines the local color in which he was bred, instead of the wholly different atmosphere that heightens the charm of the picture there—the brilliant, luminous air which invest our eye with telescopic power and brings the whole landscape to our feet; while a soft suspicion of silky haze seems to float a halo round each foliage-hidden hill. Switzerland, too, is a mountain world, but small compared with this; the entire content from fnsbrussch to Geneva only one-fourth the length of this single island of Japan—a thousand miles of continuous romance. And the quality of the sunshine is what separates, by a very wide gulf, a summer's day in these latitudes from one in more northerly Europe—Cornhill Magazine. RUSKIN'S KINDNESS OF HEART. Impulsive Generosity Characteristic of Great Writer. One day, walking near Radley, his attention was caught by a group of little girls playing in the road and he went and talked, to them. One of them specially attracted his attention. He asked her why she was playing in the dust. Had she no garden at home? Did she love flowers? What was her name? And she replied modestly with wonder in her eyes. On reaching home he gave orders to his solicitor to look out for and buy a cottage with a garden in Radley and have a deed of gift made out in the little girl's name, which was done accordingly, and she full of wonder, with her astonished parents, entered at once into possession of it—Kuskin in Oxford.

For a risky and exciting and profitable—if you survive—mode of earning a livelihood, a new Australian industry can be confidently recommended. It is the collection of snake venom, a substance, that, like radium, is valued by the grain. A pound of it is said to be worth £5,000. It is in active demand by chemists. It is obtained from three species—the death adder, the brown adder and the tiger snake. The reptiles must be caught uninjured, and it goes without saying that the industry "demands considerable knowledge and skill in capture." Tiger snakes are the best, for they carry most venom. Snakes are still numerous in the Australian bush. Two Arrogant Nations Japanese call their country "Nippon," or son's origin, indicating its position in the extreme east. But when they speak of the whole empire they call it "Dai Nippon," which means "Great Nippon." It is a not unusual reflection that off the eastern and western boundaries of the greatest mass of land in the world there exists an insignificant group of islands, inhabited in each case by a people of very mixed origin and very marked characters, each of which expresses its defiance of that geographical insignificance by the same means—"Dai Nippon" and "Great Britain." Not Personal Speaking of preachers Dean Pigou, after deprecating personal allusions from the pulpit, quotes as an example the story of a Scotch parson who preached a sermon against the sin of intemperance in the course of which he said: "I don't mean, brethren, to be personal—it is a great mistake to be personal in the pulpit—but if there should happen to be an old bald-headed gentleman, late in her majesty's service, sitting in the northwest gallery of this church, let him solemnly tak' it to himself." The Lover's Wish. If I but knew the poet's art, If I but knew the poet's art, Would be to choose my choicest phrase, And sing a song to you. I'd sing the glory of your hair, Your eyes, The beauty of your tender soul That deep within them lies. I'd sing the softness of your voice, The sweetness of your face, And with each applust your loveliness and grace. I'd sing the charm your presence has, The beauty of your form. The charm your presence arms, So shapely, soft and warm. I'd sing your clearness and tact, Your brightness and your wilt, And every day find some new charm That I might sing of it. On the poet's art, As happier lovers do. That I might choose each choicest phrase, And sing a song to you. Superville Journal. Measures Growth of Plants. Measures Growth of Plants. The United States department of agriculture has a clever little instrument which is used to record the daily growth of a plant. The top leaf of a seedling is field in a tiny clasp which in no way harms the plant. This to a clip is attached a small lever, the point of which is furnished with an indelible pencil, which rests lightly upon a paper record. As the plants grow the pencil naturally travels upward and leaves on the paper a record of the plant's growth. This shows the exact increase in growth of plants reared by electricity to those grown normally. Dunce Became Brilliant. Eugene Sue, the author of the world popular "Mysteres de Paris," is one of the many instances of the schoolboy dune who in after years becomes a shining literary light. Not only was he a failure at school but as a young man he ran through the fortune left him by his father, a fashionable doctor, in less than three years, and took to writing as the last refuge of the destitute. His most successful work first appered as a feuillleton in the Journal des Debats. MOTHERS WINE Dinner Wines. Pontet Claret $1.00 Per quart..... Medoc Claret 75c Per quart.....

(Te) Cent 724 AFRO-AMERICANS IN THE STEEL WORKS. Another evidence of the progress of the Afro-American, though it be in a humble way, presents itself in Chicago. The porter, the barber and the waiter may be losing, ground, but the sterling knight of labor, the man, who, with brawn and muscle wins his way is coming to the front. The great steel works in and about South Chicago, where tens of thousands of laborers are employed, are rapidly eliminating the foreigners and putting in their places Afro-Americans. The superintendents of the big plants say that, while Afro-American labor is no cheaper than the foreign, it is more satisfactory, in that the instructions of the foremen are more readily grasped by them, and the accidents about the works are less frequent.

Corporations have constructed great plants in the South and employ Afro-American labor almost exclusively. These men are apt and soon become experienced workmen. Offered better wages they come North and their places, are filled with raw material. The manufacturing establishment is alding more and more each year in the solution of the labor problem of the South. The foreigner does not go South—is not wanted there. The Afro-American has a monopoly of labor in the South, and the many industrial institutions springing there are rapidly showing him how to use this monopoly to his own advantage. The steel works are not the only industries about Chicago which offer advantages to Afro-American labor. The great packing plants employ thousands of them, and would employ more if they could get them. Since the plants are run with "open door" AfroAmericans are not barred from any position they can capably fill. THE BOYS' CLUB. Its Methods and Aims. W. H. Fields' Great Work. The Boys' club of Institutional Church and Social Settlement, taking ing in Dearborn Center (the so-called "Black Belt") is an organization, the like of which has not before been found anywhere in the United States. Of all the Social Settlement work in this country, it remained for this organization to spring into existence here in Chicago as the first of its kind. W. H. Fields is the founder of the Boys' club feature, and is his' wish we be able to share his life to the work of moulding the character of the youth of the district that joins the club, and to rescue others less fortunate in their surroundings. Every alternate Thursday night at the Institutional church the main body of the club meets, and there can be seen 75 to 80 lads, with their 13-year-old president in the chair, Master Fred Lee, and Master Jordan Chavis, secretary of the club. Meetings are conducted under the eye watchful face of Manager and the slightest of the rules, or lack of decorum, brings the meeting to a halt at once, and a "curtain lecture" to the guilty young man. Dues are collected, minutes read and parliamentary proceedings conducted, the same as an organization of "grown ups." The total membership of the club is at present, 8. These boys comprise a somewhat heterogenous complement of youth, each one of whom carries the influence of this uplifting organization back to his companions, who, another, are members of the club, the applicant is required to fill out an application, and have same signed by one of his parents, after which it is presented to the board of directors, who pass upon it. The club is divided into divisions. The Military division meeting every alternate Thursday night, is in command of Lieutenant John Shreeves of the 8th Inf. Ill. N. G.; the Boys' Sunday club meeting at 4 p. m. each Sabbath, is in charge of Morris Lewis; the Chorus club is in charge of Professor G. H. Bell. In this manner the boys are trained in club work, military tactics, literary endeavor, and vocal music. Those in charge of the different divisions, with Emanuel Johnson, the pastor and warden, Rev. J. M. Townsend, and the founder, W. H. Fields, comprise the board of directors, who have undertaken to carry the project to a successful reality. Already an auxiliary movement is being formed to provide uniforms for the Boys' Military division. Saturday night of each week the Boys' Reading room of the church is thrown open, and is largely attended. Master John Skinner is in charge as librarian, assisted by the wife of the pastor, Mrs. Townsend. They are both proud of their library, to which have been added some interesting books, through donation from Harold Wolf. It is the duty of the librarian to see that all books are properly taken care of and accounted for. The Boys' Sunday club is a remarkable gathering of boys. The most interesting character of the meeting is its editor. Master Sumner Lewis, who always reads an interesting budget, interspersed with original humor, that brings much laughter to the boys as they recognize the funny things therein chronically; while the wisdom of some of his suggestions arouses the interest of the older visitors, and offers a topic for short discussion. Papers are read by these boys on historical, educational and moral topics. They are afterwards discussed in a most interesting way. The above calls attention to a great big movement that should have the cooperation of all—especially the mothers and fathers—to say nothing of the benefit to the community at large. HARLAN FOR CHICAGO MAYOR. Son of Supreme Court Justice Named by Republicans. John Maynard Harlan was unanimously nominated for mayor of Chicago by the Republican city convention Wednesday. All except 41 of the 1,041 delegates to the convention had been instructed for him prior to the meeting of the convention. Mr. Harlan, who is a lawyer, is a son of John M. Harlan, associate justice of the supreme court of the United States, and is a brother of President Richard D. Harlan of Lake Forest university, and of James S. Harlan, former attorney general of Porto Rico. The nominee was elected to the city council on the Republican ticket in 1896. In 1897 he headed an independent ticket for the mayoralty, polling 70,000 votes. In 1901 Harlan was a candidate before the Republican convention for the nomination, but was defeated. In 1903 he again tried for the nomination, but was defeated by Graeme Stewart. Mr. Harlan was born in Kentucky, in 1864. He was graduated from Princeton university in 1884, and attended the University of Berlin in 1885. He has resided in Chicago since 1888. Other candidates nominated by the convention are: Moses Greenbaum, city treasurer; Francis P. Brady, city clerk; John E. Storrie Thomas Wilson, age 1 month, 239 North Franklin, street.
