Recalls Lincoln's Death He Knew Memphis Lawyers He Knew Memphis Lawyers Seeing Faults of Others One of Life's Tragedies Fist Blow Killed Deer VOL. 21. NO. 8. Recalls Line The death of John F. Coyle, once a well-known newspaper man in New York, at the age of 84 years, recalls a valuable chapter in history which he did not relate until twenty-five years after the assassination of President Lincoln. Coyle was editor of the famous National intellegencer at Washington during the civil war. He and Ford, who owned the theater where Lincoln was shot, were fast friends. Coyle was arrested three times, and badgered mercilessly in an effort to make him tell about the plot, of which he knew nothing except that Booth was his good friend. His innocence of knowledge before the fact was clearly established, and he was finally allowed to go free. Coyle told this story, as he stated, to stop the falsehoods which were circulated about his meeting with Wilkes Booth on the morning of the assassination and about a letter which Booth wrote to him before he fired the fatal bullet. "On the morning of April 14, 1865, I was conversing with Major Thomas Donhoe, when Wilkes Booth joined us. Later Booth and I went into a near-restaurant and there he said to me: "Suppose Lincoln should be killed or die, what would be the result?" "Johnson would succeed him; there would he no change," I replied. "Then Gov. Seward would come next I believe. All that is provided for by law." As I remembered it afterward, Booth grew excited and said: "But it Honorable Malcolm Rice Patterson, who represents the Tenth District of Tennessee in the lower house of Congress, and who describes himself in the Congressional Directory as a Democrat by faith and a lawyer by profession, tells a good joke on himself. During the past summer, Mr. Patterson wandered into the interior of his native state, and one morning he drifted into a small township where a friend was holding court. The star performer at the session was a venerable darky, who had caused the arrest of an equally ancient crony on charge of having attempted to piller his watch. The old man described dramatically how the two had a few drinks of gin; that his companion had engaged him in earnest conversation and asked him to extend a watch and fob. Everything went against the defendant, and he was about to be sent down when Mr. Patterson, with the judge's permission, The only thing that can easily be found where it does not exist is fault. That is, you can easily find it in others. But in yourself, though you be blackened with it, you can't see it so easily. If the other fellow has a fault—and sometimes if he hasn't—you are quick to perceive it. You incessantly find fault with the weather. It is either too warm or too cold, too wet or too dry, too sunny or too cloudy, and you have a good deal to say about it. And the times never suit you. It's either hard times, or else some other people are making too much money by the methods you don't know anything about and so don't approve. Deep in your subconsciousness you are quite sure that money-making which you don't understand and can't faintate can't be honest. And the government is all wrong, too in your opinion. As a matter of They found her stark, and cold and dead. In the dark prison cell, Nice old cell, and marred past tongue to tell shapes. That mocked her where she fell. How fared she to this dismal place? How came she here to die? From what sweet, flowered way of youth And girdhood, long gone by. Caught in the glow of hell Upon these stones to lie? From what white skies to these of gloom. From what bright world and fair. From what silence to this Grim silence and despair? So like a withered leaf she lies. And who is there to care? Far back in some white cradle, she Gazed in a mother's eyes. Handed hands in wondering surprise. And thus she was a hint Of younger skies. "A few weeks ago, just before I left for Denver, we had venison for dinner which our cook killed with his fist. Game is so plentiful that all one has to do is to stand on his back porch and use a revolver to obtain almost anything in the way of meat that one could wish for." H. W. Lang, vice president of the Denver-Honduras Banana company, was telling of the attractions of his Honduras home. "The manager in which our cook obtained the venison was this" continued Mr. Lang. "We had been having high water in the Ulua river, all could be swept away, what then? "Anarchy and chaos, I said, 'but such a thing could never happen. They don't make Brutuses nowadays.' "No, no, he replied. "They don't, and abruptly left me." "This conversation made no impression on my mind. That night, while on my way to the offices of the National Inteligencer, I heard of the assassination. Already there, when given by Booth, some one, who was instructed to deliver it to me. The fact, too, of my having been seen with him that morning was generally known and commented upon. It rendered me unpleasantly and dangerously conspicuous during the reign of terror." "It was generally believed that I had received the letter. But that remained a mystery until the winter of 1865, when John Matthews, a well-known actor and my friend, told me that Booth and given him a sealed package and requested him if he did not hear from him to the contrary to deliver it to me on the following day. After the assassination Matthews opened the letter and read it. Upon consideration he burned it. Matthews did not remember the entire text he told me that the including lines were these for me. I shall be condemned for my act at the present but I am willing to trust to his history and posterity for the vindication of my name and motives." "This is the whole story of my meeting with Wilkes Booth and all the knowledge I have of the letter he wrote." asked the old man if he had recovered his watch and if so to produce it in court. The darky shifted uneasily and then, diving down in his jeans, produced a watch, wrapped in several layers of tissue paper. "Bring the watch here," said Mr. Patterson, "it would like to see it." Patterson, "I would like to see it." The old man shambled up to the judge's bench and leaning over said, in a perfectly audible voice: "Judge, is that man one of them lawyer fellers from Memphis?" The judge answered in the affirmative. Then the darky squared around and faced the honorable member of Congress. "Now, you jest, look here, sah. he said, 'I ain't a gain'oin to let you hab my watch; no, sah. not eben for a minute. I think a sight ob dat watch, and my ole massy done give it to me befo' I was done set free. If de judge wants to se it I will. I ode giver man from Memphis go'oin to git his hans on dat watch.

ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 25, 1905. Gifts Recently Bestowed on New York Church of St. John the Divine Insure Completion of Magnificent Edifice. Choir of the Cathedral View Showing two of the Columns. W. Gillman with the newly announced gifts of ex-Gov. Levi P. Morton and Col. John Jacob Astor to the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine—the one of $600,000 and the other of $100,000—the splendid structure dreamed of and worked for by the late Bishop Horatio Potter, predecessor and owner of Bishwin Henry C. Potter, is practically realized. Only $250,000 is now needed to complete the choir, the northern, southern and eastern arches, and the roofing in of the great space between them, which is to be known as the "crossing." When this work is done New York will boast the second largest house of worship in the world. It will be alone surpassed in seating capacity by the basilica of St. Peter's. The cost of the work is estimated at $1,000,000. The board of trustees have $60,000 on hand, the donation of Mr. James H. W. H. who will use of $100,000 when the other $900,000 is raised. This really allows only $150,000 lacking to round out the required sum. Just how much it will take to construct the entire cathedral as planned—towers, spire, transepts and nave—is hard to say. It will be the work of years and call for more millions. The tower and spire alone will cost $1,200,000. The roofing in of the crossing, which is now in sight, will mean a 5,000 people, easily accommodate 5,000 people, and is a goal well worthy any city's striving. It was more than three decades ago when Bishop Horatio Potter conceived the idea of the cathedral, and with the single-heartedness of the true enthusiast set about awakening interest in it. Upon his death his nephew assumed the work, as part of his heritage. From the beginning the history of the undertaking has been intimately linked with that of New York, the chapters telling of its progress being studded with the names of New Yorkers who are identified with all that is best in the city. A stirring story it is—a story of struggles and delays, of persistent labors, and finally of success. In the very beginning there came the panic of 1872. Prior to the bursting of the financial storm, the cathedral corporation having been chartered in January 1872, had been pointed to obtain subscriptions, and three men had promised $100,000 each. Only one of these subscriptions, that of the late John Jacob Astor, was ever paid in. The other two subscribers were among those who found themselves unable to weather the panic. The fund did not receive a cent from them. And all three subscriptions been realized upon" says George Macculloch Miller, secretary of the board of trustees since its formation, "the cathedral would have stood just south of Central park, on the two blocks bounded by Fifty-Ninth street on the north, Fifty-Seventh street on the south, Sixth avenue on the east and Seventh avenue on the west. At that time the blocks in question were thinly settled, and could now have been had at a price which would now seem ridiculous. The loss of the $200,000 and the difficulty in securing money following the panic put a temporary stop to our labors. "When the committee renewed its --- PRINCIPAL DIMENSIONS OF THE CATHEDral.

Where there had been vacant lots in 1873 enormous buildings stood. Attention was then turned to Morningside Heights and the present location chosen. At that time the Leake and Watts Orphan asylum stood upon the ground, which was purchased for $800,000. "After the purchase of the site subscriptions came in more rapidly. We already had $200,000 from the Astors, for, in addition to the gift of John Jacob Astor, William Astor had conceived $100,000. Coraline Vanderbilt gave a like sum, and in 1893 D. Willis James gave as much. The Trinity church corporation subscribed $100,000, and in 1893 J. Pierper Mor- gan subscribed $500,000, to be paid in five years, $100,000 a year. Charles P. Huntington gave $60,000. "A notable fact in regard to the moneys which have come to the board is that the great gifts of women have come in the form of legacies. I do not know whether or not this is due to the fact that they have never, as a ses, educated themselves up to parting with their money in their lifetime, or whether they feel that a bequest is the most fitting form for a gift to take, but the fact remains that not one of the large sums derived from the generosity of women came in the shape of a donation during the life of the donor. " In 1851 we received $100,000 from M. F. J. Holland's estate, left by her in commemoration of the life and services of her father, the late Bishop Brownell of Connecticut. Mrs. Elizabeth N. Coles bequeathed $300,000 to the endowment fund. She also made a gift of rare tapestries, some of which are now to be seen in the crypt. Mary Elsie Johnson, a Prairie Church man who took a deep interest in the cathedral, wilmed $100,000. Mrs. George E. Morris left the cathedral $200,000. Every bequest, by resolution of the board of directors, was an plied to the upbuilding of the endowment fund, it being decided that there should be an income to meet the expenses of the cathedral after its erection. "The gifts and legacies I have mentioned include only the larger amounts received by the board. There are hundreds and hundreds of smaller effits recorded, many of them having come from other than churchmen. I recall a generous donation by a Presbyterian, who said that he felt the cathedral as planned was to be desired Defective Page as a tribute to the glory of God, irrepressible of creed. There have been gifts from all manner of church societies and institutions. Little children have paid their mite. Subscriptions have come from other lands. "The Rev. Dr. Kevin, who was the head of the Episcopal church in Rome, taught us how to imply in raising money, and sent over sums aggregating thousands of dollars. Churchmen in England and France have been extremely generous. "A class of gifts which is most effective and thoughtfully valuable are annual subscriptions, paid from the donors' incomes. There are a number of men and women who have pledged $500 a year, and meet their payments as regularly as they pay their taxes. Of course, these gifts do not figure in the list of donations, so far as any total figure is concerned. The principal. It is a kind of endowment. "After the work of putting in the foundations was finished, and the western arch was in place, there came the question of erecting the eight columns which stand about the chancel. It was originally decided that these should be monoliths. The contractor went to great expense in procuring the necessary machinery, and had three of the columns practically finished when they broke of their own weight. He then asked the board to reschedule the monolith resolution and authorized the use of two pieces of stone in the construction of each column. The longer piece is 36 feet in length and weighs ninety tons. To get them to the cathedral site was a problem which required much ingenuity and time. It was necessary to bring timber from Oregon, around the Form, to use in the building of the deocricks. The last column was in place November last. As the walls of the choir could not be begun until this had been accomplished, this accounts for another delay. "Within three years I believe that the 'crossing' will be roofed in and services held at the cathedral. The noble gifts of Mr. Morton and Col. Actor have kindled beyond a doubt a spirit of emulation in the hearts of others, and I do not anticipate that there will be any trouble about the rest of the money needed to complete the great work."—New York Times.

Simple Remedies Best Astrology and the War Astrology and the War Windfall for the Waiter A Notable Missouri Duel The Stars and Stripes! It may be said, with little fear of contradiction from those who know the facts, that if a cast iron law for bidding the use of any drug whatever in the treatment of headache could be enacted and enforced there would be much less misery for the coming generation than there is for this. A sufferer from repeated headaches who has found a means of relief in "headache powders" or other even more harmful drugs may dispute this assertion, but the victims of some drug habit or the friends of one whose heart, poisoned by acetanil or antipyrin, has suddenly ceased to beat before its time will look at the matter from another point of view entirely. During the Spanish war numbers of would-be recruits were rejected because of a weak heart, and in the epidemic of pneumonia which ravaged the country last winter an unusual number of deaths occurred from failure of the heart to meet the added strain. Although various causes have doubtless been at work to weaken the hearts of the present generation, there can be no question that one potent influence has been the indiscriminate use of headache powders. In all cases of habitual headache ion A Japanese newspaper recently received in this city tells a remarkable story of the part played by astrology in the present war with Russia. It states that Japan has for many years looked forward to a war with Russia, and the Mikado got the opinions of the most noted astrologers in his realm as to the most favorable time to begin hostilities. It seems the old science of astrology is still regarded in Japan as a valuable aid in determining the affairs of life, and the various aspects of the planets are studied with great care. In astrology every country is ruled by a certain sign of the zodiac, and the fortunes and misfortunes of any country can be determined by the beneficient or malefic planets as they pass through the country's zodiacal sign. The sign of Aquarius rules Russia, and when the Mikado is astrologers when they have five years ago they at once gave it to their opinion that the most opportune time to begin war would be when the evil planet Saturn passes through that sign. Saturn's influence is very male.

John S. Marmaduke, who afterward became governor. Mr. Smith, the historian, says that the duel was fought on the banks of the Arkansas, seven miles below Little Rock. The quarrel arose a few days before Price's evacuation of Gen. L. M. Walker and Gen. Marmaduke each held the rank of brigadier general, but Walker outranked Marmaduke on account of seniority of commission. A cavalry engagement had taken place at Reed's bridge*in which the federal forces were repulsed, but Marmaduke took exceptions to Walker's conduct on the field and practically accused him of cow.

But the separate attacks of headache have to be relieved if severe, and in these cases it is better not to resort to drugs unless the drugs are taken under the special guidance of a physician. In the congestive headache, marked by throbbing and made worse by stooping or lying down, a cold towel or an ice bag applied to the head, a hot water bag to the spine, a mustard foot bath—one or more—will often give relief when many drugs fall.

One of the very pleasing of the many pleasing things in connection with President Roosevelt's speech on Lincoln's birthday was, that he did not use the word "nego" in it. Now, a rose by any other name, would smell just as sweet, and, the word "nego" in itself, which only means it was not for the willfully malicious manner in which it is used in the daily press. The word "nego" has become, by the manner in which it is used, to be more opprobius than any other in the category, murderer not accepted, and, we voice the sentiments of all Americans. And Americans in thanking the president for not using it in referring to them. According to Webster's Unabridged Dictionary "negro" is a common noun defined as meaning: "A black man, especially one of a race of black Americans, who THE GREATER PART OF AFRICA and are distinguished by crisped or curly hair, flat noses, high cheek bones, and thick purlring lips." Anyone not blinded by "negro phobia" Americans in the United States are not properly be classed as "negroes." Then, another thing, among all of the many, many words or names used to designate human beings, everyone who is a Negro, an American noun and invariably capitalized; whereas the solitary word "negro" even when used to refer to a class of American citizens numbering upward of 10,000,000 is almost invariably not capitalized, not treated as a proper noun. If one wishes to arouse all that's devilish in the hearts and brains of a very large number of Caucasians in the United States, just use the word "megro" in connection with a man or woman. In the United States, "megress" in connection with a woman and you'll succeed. AND THE PUBLISHERS OF THE DAILY PAPERS ARE USING IT FOR THAT PURPOSE EVERY DAY. So again we say we are truly this man, Joseph Goselt, the acknowledged head of this nation for setting them a good example in not using it. There is a terrible hibbun being worked up because by the whirl-lag of time and unavoidable circumstances James H. Wolf becomes Department Commander. The Massachusetts Division of the Army will be James H. Wolf as the daily papers put it: "As Massachusetts is the oldest G. A. R. encampment, it will lead the line of march at the next grand national encampment at Denver, and, thus, the leader of Wolf's whole line of march." There is dissatisfaction because by right or courtesy of seignority the Massachusetts Division will lead the line but because a "negro" is commander will do so. We do not know if he is a "negro" or several portraits we have seen of him we have concluded that it is about as necessary the explanation be given that he is a "negro" as it is made by a boy in school who made a drawing and put under it "This is a horse." Now, we think that instead of this being a cause for the veterans not attending the national encampment it should be used as one of great rejoicing that one of the men they have been called to free you" has risen by merit and various circumstances to the very head of the organization. Mr. Wolff is a highly respected and successful lawyer of Boston and the fact that he will lead the line will cast no discernment upon it on any one in the line. Fortunately all the white people do not feel just as Jeff Davis—the man who disregards Arkansas as its Governor—does on the question of educating Afro-Americans. Mother Catherine "Drexel of Philadelphia," who some ago gave up society and entered religious work, founding the Sacrament for the education of Indians and Afro-Americans and devoting her immense fortune entirely to the work, is going to found in Nashville an industrial school and academy for Afro-American girls. She will purchase valuable property there and the school will be put in operation. --- It is a source of considerable satisfaction that the suit of John R. Platt against Hannah Elias whom the papers never fail to designate as a "gress" has been dismissed by the judge. As will be remembered Hannah Elias was alleged to have obtained $83,000 from Platt during a period of twenty-five years while she was his mistress. Last year some of Platt's relatives DISCOVERED that he was a woman who tried to get the money back, not because she is a base, immoral, unprincipled woman but because she is a so-called "negress," Bah! Miss Anna Fitzhugh Lee, a daughter of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, who was retired from the Army Wednesday of last week, and on the same day attended wedding of Hannah and Brown, Jr., of the Seventh U. S. cavalry was once ejected from the "ladies car" on a train in Virginia by a conductor who presumed she was an Afro-American. We have her picture and the picture of Hannah beheaded us and must admit that they label to determine which is which. Berea college situated in Berea, Ky., has been fined $1,000 for violating a law passed by the last legislature prohibiting the co-education of whites and Afro-Americans. Berea was founded more than a quarter of a century ago for that very purpose and the law was framed to give it a special status will be taken to the Supreme Court of the United States if necessary to determine whether or not it is constitutional. While all this hui-la-bal-loo is going on on the "negro" question there is a man named Paul Marx of Woods Cross, Utah, who was refused a license to marry an Afro-American woman because he was supposed to be a pure Caucasian, and he although to all appearances an Italian applicant, was denied this in this for love of Miss Belle Johnson an unmistakable Afro-American woman. --- "If you are looking for a good man it's a pretty safe plan to pick out andugly one." We add, that the rule will work just about as well among women, according to fair Lillian Russell who says it's a curse for a woman to be born beautiful. And Lillian ought to know. This color question, in a country that is the only one that says in its fundamental law all men are born equal, etc., and in the veins of our one-fourth of its population, there is a strain of African blood, ought to be let up on. "A man's a man for a' that is ugly one." Presents to Bible Society A number of curious presents have come to the Bible society in London. Gifts of embroidery to the value of over $150 have been received from native Christian women in Manchuria. From the New Hebrides, the Ancient Hebrew Bible, a large manufacture arrowroot annually to pay for the siblings they need. About $15 was contributed in kind by the aborigines of Mapoon, North Queensland, who collected oysters for the purpose, as they have no money of their own. Even the children go to London, though in former days their fathers collected human heads much as American boys collect postage stamps. At What Temperature Water Bolls. Water bolls at different temperatures, according to the elevation above the sea level. In London water bolls practically at 212 degrees Fahrenheit; in Munich, Germany, at 2091° degrees; in the City of Mexico, at 200 degrees, and in the Himalayas, elevation of 18,000 feet above the sea of the sea, at 18,000 feet. These differences are caused by the varying pressures of the atmosphere at these points. In London the whole weight of the air has to be overcome. In Mexico, 7,000 feet above the sea, there is 7,000 feet less of atmosphere to be resisted. Consequently less heat is required and boiling takes place at a lower temperature. Cause of Mysterious Sounds. There is an old superstition that tapping sounds in a room foretell death. A correspondent suggests that these sounds are emitted from wooden furniture. "I have generally noticed," he says, "that I heard them after a sudden change in the temperature from heat to cold. Heat causes furniture to expand and open the interiors of the wood, which becomes filled with air, and cools, on the other hand causes the wood to contract, or the interiors then close and forcibly expel the air with these explosive sounds." THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. THE BOOK WORLD A POLITICAL HISTORY OF SLAYERY. A Political History of Slavey. By William Henry Smith. With an introduction by the Rev. Rod. Two volumes. $v.o. Net. $4.50. By mail. $5.00. 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 the Reconstruction period in the United States. The New York Publication by Whitewolf Rold, which titles Smith's career and which gives quite an extended criticism of these two very instructive volumes. In reading the chapters of this book one might easily imagine that the revolting cruelties of the Revolution were again being enacted on the Fergus and elsewhere throughout the country. The events which led up to the war with Germany are thus described by the author. Bismark prepared the war. Napoleon II wanted it the best Bourgeois applied on. They might have stopped it by an earnest gesture. Others contented himself with a grimise. He knew in this war our certain ruin; he knew our terrible inferiority in everything; he could have 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 Broug, 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." Again: "As time goes on fuller justice will be done, in the history of the movements by which a free people enlarged the bounds of freedom, to communities and to leading men that relied upon typical Anglo-Saxon means for the correction of vroggs and the better development of Arggo-Saxon institutions; -- to Horace Greley first among public educators, to Kuse and Seward, Stanton and Welles, first among legislators and cabinet ministers, and finally to the peer, not the superior of them all, and certainly the most capable," politician of the Hst, Abram In Chapter I, the author says: "If there is something clear established, it is that slavery was clearly established, it is that slavery 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, was formed the public, refrained from inserting in that great charter a name so repulsive to freedom. We must conclude that they were not the first to feel that it was of the moment of that day. There was no state constitution 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 generalized, and it was to be the rule. This came early north of Maryland, and it is not unreasonable to suppose that the African slave population would have followed in Delaware, North Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee." "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 it destructive influence became as important of political forces; that while having the source in religious feelings played a role in the formation of the third party. The Society of Friends led all other denominations in the employment of the priesthood. Lloyd Larrison, Benjamin Lundy or Chas, moral influence for the eradication of slavery, outspoken utterances in the P.O. waterpriest Baptist and Methodist churches at an early time, in Inio, Kentucky and Tennessee." "Some years ago one who had been complacious as a leader in the anti-slavery faithfulness of current history in dealing with the slave trade, and thereupon a controversy sprung up in the first Apostle of Encouragement to be named the first Apostle of Encouragement to be mentioned before either Lundy or Garrison, but strangely overly concerned with the writer who challenged "the truth of the slave trade," Osborne to be mentioned first was strikingly like that of Lundy—John Woolman, a friend, who was born in New York and who was the count of his early life and career, exceeded the number of sentiments. "When about 25 years of age he visited North Carolina, where he met the holders and wrote an essay entitled 'Considerations on the Keeping of Negroes.'" which was published, had a wide circulation, and was given to the work of emancipation from colony to colony, preaching remembrance and counseling with painstaking detail the Free Soil Movement. "The Compromise," "The Nomination of Lincoln," and the discussion exhibits a wealth of information about knowledge, which could only result from the leading men of those stricken. Vol. II opens with a chapter on "The Army in the Civil War," and "In the history of nations work rulers are treated with scent respect. They become allies in oppression; they impel governments and oppression; they impel governments and oppression; they impel governments and oppression; they are the real enemies to human profortune.

The personal and never failing topic of authorism is this so, because it was a war of glance between those giants still survive its viesstudes; those giants still survive its imminent deadly breach; its long-forgotten milures; its Gettysburg and Chicka-affected finale of that conflict profoundly influenced the world; because its echoes still reverberate in all the various activities of American. Because of these things the author's obsession is interesting. It can be read while the great strife which has hitherto remained unwritten, is brought forth One of the most interesting chapters in this volume is one dealing with the relation of the author to the grog Soldier. "The author tells us that, when he was a soldier, the author mourned favorful the enlistment of black soldiers; that the matter was finally deferred to the author, who bill authorization of the enlistment of Negro soldiers, was defeated by but one vote, and desperate circumstances of the Confederacy saw the doom of Richmond and the "cause," a draft order was issued to force the governor to ratify a tattered flag, but that before it could be made effective the fall of Richmond, and this chapter is especially interesting under a banner. This chapter is especially interesting chapters in the book. The style is clear, unimaginative, and the author has written instinctively. --- HISTORY OF THE COMMUNE OF 1871. History of the Commune of 1871. Translated from the French of Lissagaray by Eleanor Marx Aveling. New York International Publishing Co. History of the Commune of 1871. translated from the French of Lissagaray by Eleanor Marx Aveling, is a well written volume of history, dealing with one of those political convulsions which have so frequently shook France to its found tion. The translator has performed the difficult art of preserving the peculiar epigrammatic and pointed style of all French prose, and of which Lissagaray appears to be a master. The descriptive art of the author never legs from the opening to the closing chapter of this book of extraordinary happenings. The Commune of 1871 was the culmination of French weakness and imbecility—the culmination of a criminal torpor that rested upon those in authority, and then followed swiftly upon the heels of the prostration of the French by the wonderful armies under that prince. strategists Von Molitek. In reading certain chapters of this book one might easily imagine that the revolution in the Revolution were again being enacted in Paris 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 bourgeoise looked on. They might have stopped it by an immediate posture. A Thiers contented himself with the science. He was more than our certain ruin; he knew our terrible inferiority in everything; he could have united the Left, the Tiers-parti, the journalists have made palpable to them the other side of the action and supported it this strength of opinion and he said to Tulleries, to Paris it needs be, "War is impossible; we shall combat it as treason." Poor France! Who will save these? 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 liberal says, I feel that the war is the empire, a handful of men, without arms, unprotected, rise up against the still allowable despot. Of life one hand young men who form the bourgeoise have gone over the people in the full of their children over 1789, resolved to continue the work of the Revolution; on the other hand work-men unite for the study and conquest of the world of labor.

The author struggles with the struggle which for madness and uncheck- ed violence finds few counterparts.

Brooklyn, and is thus well qualified to great preacher. The book is therefore not so much a history of the life of Beecher in 1851, but a character as he appeared to Dr. Abbott. The career of Beecher as an author is the civil war period, he tells in five chapters, full of historical matter of the war, the chapter on Mr. Beecher's anti-slavery campaign in Engle- shumann's autumn of that year from a season on the continent, his intention being to rest be- tween the two wars, and to be dressed otherwise. At that time the sympathy of the English people, more spe- cially the autumn of 1851, was overwhelming in favor of the South, and the man who dared to speak in English was the man who could not invite to include every species of insult and indignity. This sympathy for the South was the reason Mr. Beecher's arrival, assumed alarming to the effect that the British government, in all probability would be forced by pub- licity to be Beecher in England. The Americans would then go forward in America in behalf of the South. Such was the state of feel of the English people that Beecher to make over the course, greatly alarmed over such a sunded Dr. Beecher to make a lecturing tour through England, speaking in behalf of the British people to counteract the work of the work of the the figure of British unity by their spe- cles and publications.

By Bernard Lazare, 334. Cloth gift top, $2. New York: International Library Publishing Co. He gives the book a peculiar timeliness. It is a translation from the French, and its pages must have been written many years ago. He gives the most painful interest to the Jewish question. The author is himself a Hebrew, and he is piled in the title to his book, but this circumstance does not seem to have biased opinions. The case is certainly stated with great candor, and the blame is distributed with fairness. The fault is found in the world, but the Israelite himself is charged with having brought much of the book to his people by manifest shortcomings. The treatment given the subject is his misrepresentations between Jews and Gentiles are traced from the earliest times. Perhaps he has learned how much of proselyting has been carried on reciprocally between the He-terans, and how much of proselyting has resulted a greater mixture of race differences. The skull does not believe in race distinctions whether these be founded upon the color of the skin. So long, however, as the opinion prevails that races are distinct from each other, part and inferiority on the other part there is likely to be trouble between Jew and Gentile. There are too many illustrative examples in this book of the course, and this book can be read with profit by many who are called upon to decide questions daily arising . . .

Richard Connor Shot and Fatally Wounded the Officer No Of Liquid Investigation On Friday evening of last week there was a row raised between Richard Connor and Ike Rivers, both members of the Williams & Walker Co., at the Bijou theatre, Minneapolis, in reference to a wager in which several of the members of the company were interested. Connors and Rivers had some words about the matter. Connor turned to leave the dressing room while the trouble arose, he beat a chair and running around he saw Rivers making for a revolver which was lying on the floor and he also started toward the gun, but Rivers beat him to it. Connor again tried to escape from the room when Rivers shot him in the back. It was thought at the time that the wound was not of a serious nature and for the sake of the company Connor and all persons present agreed that the statement should be made in the shooting. Connor sent to Ashbury hospital and the performance proceeded for the evening as if no trouble had arisen. Saturday afternoon J. H. Dillingham of St. Paul attended the matinee and as he was an old friend of the Connor family the absence of Connor on the stage caused him to feel that he ought to make some investigation in the matter and manner of his being shot. He very soon learned that Rivers who had done the shooting had been hustled off to New York immediately. This caused Dillingham to the accident story and he proceeded with his investigation. He telephoned to the hospital and found that Connor was in a more serious condition than the daily papers had stated. On Monday he and his wife visited Connor at the hospital and learned from his lips that the shooting was not accidental. Then learning from the attending physician that Connor could not live forty-eight hours he immediately wired Connors parents at Covington, Ky. They wired back their inability to reach Minneapolis in the prescribe time and structured the inference to make full the information in every way. Dillingham then proceeded with his investigation and on Tuesday afternoon he and a friend had another interview with the physician who still maintained that there was no hope for Connor's recovery. Dillingham then informed Connor what the physician had said and asked him if he would make a statement to the county attorney and Connor said he would. Dillingham then endeavored to get the county attorney to take the statement but there seemed to be a desire on the part of that official to delay the matter. Dillingham also out that Mr. Mayes, manager of the hospital physician and the county attorney had a consultation in the morning in which the fact that the shooting was not accidental was fully made known and the critical condition of Connor. Yet at 5 o'clock in the afternoon no steps NOW IS THE HOME CANNED "ECONOMICAL TO BUY." Be sure to ask for GRIGGS, COOPER & C TELEPHONE MAIN 1504. Day or Night. NAGEL UNDE 208 W. Lady assistant when required had been taken by the county attorney to get. Connors' ante mortem statement. Finally after Dillingham had insisted that the statement be taken an assistant county attorney was sent to the hospital and Connor made a statement in the presence of Dillingham and the friend who accompanied him. Mr. Dillingham in conversation with THE APPEAL expressed himself as highly indignant and much surprised at the attitude of the Hennepin county authorities in not further investigating this matter and in determining to not make any attempt to have the murderer arrested because of the necessary expense which would naturally occur. Mr. Dillingham however does not intend to let the matter drop and will use his utmost endeavors to have the matter officially investigated; as he has the names of four persons who witnessed the shooting. To the credit of Messrs. Williams and Walker it be said that when they learned the serious condition of Connor they immediately sent 'a member of the company back to Minneapolis with instructions to spare neither time, trouble nor expense in the care of Connor but to ensure that out the necessary arrangements in case of Connor's death, all of which was done. The remains of Connor were placed in a handsome casket and in charge of the man sent by Williams and Walker sent to Chicago Thursday evening where they will be met by the parents of Connor and be interred in that city. All the selections of casket, etc., were made by Mr. Dillingham and every cent of Connor's money was given to transportation of the remains was borne by Williams and Walker. BIG CIRCUS DUE NEXT 'Varsity Armory Being Put Into Condition For Show. The university armory is a busy place nowadays and as the date for the returns of the great university circus draws near there is little else within the big building except the continual preparation of the circus troupe. Dr. Cooke and his large corps of assistants are working night and day to perfect every detail of the big show and when the opening performance is given on March 10 there will not be a thing lacking which could in any way add to the entertainment and comfort of the spectators. The students and faculty interested in the big show are working as never before to make the event the crowning feature of the college year and from every indication they will more than succeed. The features of the big show this year are too many and varied to be described. The program will include every circus performance ever presented to an American audience, which means a whole lot, besides many entirely new and original stunts which will far eclipse anything in the circus line that even the famous untiring Barnum ever conceived at the height of his career. The big show is not given alone for university people. It is given for every state the state or outside the state of Minnesota and for that reason it is to be made this year more than ever a cosmopolitan affair. While there will be much that will interest the university students there will be nothing that will not appeal just as much to the man or woman from other parts of the city as it does to the inhabitants of the campus. SKATE SAILING LIVELY SPORT. Sailor May Travel a Mile a Minute with No Power Save the Wind. To be one's self the mast and the tiller and the boat—sailing and skating blended at the speed of a high-class locomotive—this is the sport of skate-sailing, says writer in Country Life in America. In an automobile, in a racing keel, on a blooded horse, the man that guides by clutch or tiller or bridle is a piece of dead freight, being to the extent of his weight a drag on the speed; but skate-sailing alone, of sports that attack time, makes use of the guidance itself as a part of the propulsive force. The man himself is both sail area and live ballast. With a forty-mile breeze behind him, and clean, green ice ahead, the skate-sailer comes the nearest we shall ever get to the wing-footed god that slid down a rainbow. Wings on his feet, and his arms tethered to great white wings, he is the lyre of the west wind in a kind of rhapsody of motion. He is as sensitive to the situation as a photographic plate. Every tremor of the sail action passes through him, and he adapts himself momently to the variations of an off-shore breeze. The old world dream was of a centaur—man-horse—two natures in one body. In this twentieth-century sport we have realized a 'man-boat. The effort to prove that a man may cover a mile a minute, unaided by steam or gasoline, by the propulsive power of wind alone, will be made this advancing season by some skate-sailers at least. to put in a full line of Dinner Wines.

Here are the three deadly symptoms of old age: Selfishness — Stagnation — Intolerance. If we find them in ourselves, we may know we are growing old—even if we are on the merry side of thirty. But happily, we have three defenses, which are invulnerable; if we use them we shall die young if we live to be a hundred. They are: Sympathy — Progress — Tolerance. The first is the hardest to most of us, because our little prison of Actual is so immensely important to us. There is no denying the fact that when you have a toothache yourself, it is hard to have to consider other people's aches. But it can be done, though it generally involves physical effort, for we must bestir ourselves and act; the mere feeling of sympathy expressed by action is a poor, useless thing; but the Soul, determined not to grow old, can force the Body to such physical effort, though there is no denying that it is hard work.—Harper's Bazar. BENEFIT OF FAIRY TALES. Writer Makes Strong Argument for Their Retention. It is very reasonable to argue that no creation of human fancy could last as fairy tales have lasted through no one knows how many hundreds and thousands of years unless it was very good. For that which is not good and not sound must surely die, and only that which is good and sound shall last through the grinding of the ages. So I believe that parents could fill their children's imaginations full of fairy tales if they would make those imaginations strong and healthy. As for that man or woman who has not these bright and joyous things flying like golden bees through the dim recesses of his or her memory, I can only say that I think his or her parents must have been neglectful of the earlier training of their child, and that I am sorry for that poor soul who has lost so much pleasure out of its life.—Howard Pyle, in The Book News. Reat Bogs of the World Peat Bogs of the World. Many thousands of acres of peat are found in the north German lowlands. In Ireland estimates place the lowland bog area at 1,576,000 acres and the highland area at 1,254,000 acres. Russia is said to have 6,700 square miles of peat. Several million acres are in Norway and Sweden, France and Holland. The United States and Canada also have extensive tracts. Peat has been used by artisans for ages in the manufacture of tools. By burning peat the old steel workers produced the finest grades of iron and steel, on account of the intensity of the heat produced and the absence of anything detrimental to the metal. The elastic and keen Damascus swords are believed to have been made by the use of peat. The Mother. She was so tired of toil, of everything. Save love those who needed all her love! Her heart was like the golden heart of spring. When white clouds sail above. Autumn of life and tears were hers, and you. She sang and loved and gladdened us the while; Nor storms, nor snow could make her once April's radiant smile. She was so weary; but we never guessed How worry, till she drifted into rest—"My loving now is done." "Tired of all save leaving." Let this be. The epitaph inscribed where now she lies. Time shall not hide the words, nor memoirs. The love look of her eyes. —Woman's Journal. Origin of Macaroni. An interesting story is told of the origin of the word macaroni. It seems that a chef employed by one of the popes was making him a dish of it and stirred the mixture until it became of the consistency of hard tack. Having taken a drop too much the man was afraid of the papal anger and resolved to make the dish into a sort of paste, which greatly delighted the pontiff. In his joy he cried: "Mi carol!" (my favorite), and the pontiff, not catching the words exactly, said "Macaroni?" Well in the future never serve me a meal without a dish of macaroni." Atrocity of Ancient Warfare At the siege of Xanthus, in Lydia, nets were spread in a river to prevent the escape of divers, and stakes driven deep in the ground to baffle tunneling operations; whereupon the citizens appealed to fire, piling up hillocks of combustibles, and, "not men only, but women and little children, with hideous outcries, leaped into the flames, and thus repeated the desperate deed of their ancestors, who, in the time of the Persian war, had destroyed themselves in the very same manner." (Plutarch's Life of Brutus, p. 218.) Made Wigs Fashionable Many of the fashions inaugurated by sovereigns have had most unromantic origins. Thus, when Louis IX. of France developed a bald cranium his queen promptly provided him with a wig, saying, "Our bald kings have never been lucky, and it will befaith a sovereign that he should not be better provided with flowing locks than a mendicant at the gates of Notre Dame." And forthwith every subject throughout France, whether he required it or not, donned a similar wig in loyal emulation of his king. INDEPENDENCE AS A MYTH. Idea Is a Delusion Leading to Warping of Character. John says: "I am not going to be dependent upon any man. I am going to live my own life, in my own way, as I expect other men to live theirs. If they will leave me alone, I will leave them alone," and John flatters himself that he is asserting his own strength of personality—that he is emphasizing his individuality. M. R. B.

The truth is that John is warping himself every day by his weak dependence upon his own prejudice. He is unwilling to look fairly at another man's opinion, for fear of being dependent upon it. He is not only warping himself by his "independence," which is puffed up with the false appearance of strength, but he is robbing his fellow men; for he cannot refuse to receive from others without putting it out of his own power to give to others. Real giving and receiving must be recalcular in spirit, and absolutely dependent upon each other. It is a curious and a sad study to watch the growing slavery of such "independent" people. NO POULTICES FOR SOLDIERS. Revolutionary Decision Made by Army Physicians. Linseed and linseed meal have been dropped from army medicines, and the army physicians have been notified that it is the opinion of the surgeon general's office that poultices have no place in modern therapeutics, all the good results obtainable from them being gou in a much more cleanly way by hot wet compresses. The prohibition of the time-honored linseed meal, the best material for poultices, seems to interfere with a method practiced by a large number of physicians, who would be inclined to testify that without it our soldiers would not receive the best care. There is surely much to be said on both sides. The psychological effect at least of a poultice is entirely too great for a successful family physician to ignore, and why deprive the soldier of this old fashioned comfort? Medical Record.

Years beginning on Sunday. In the course of the present century fourteen years will begin on Sunday. A painstaking individual has computed these occurrences, showing that in this century Jan. 1 will fall on Sunday as follows: The common years 1905, 1911, 1922, 1933, 1930, 1950, 1961, 1967, 1978, 1989 and 1995, and the leap years 1928, 1956 and 1984. This is a fraction less than the usual number computed in point of averages, the first and the last of the Sunday beginnings falling five years each from the close of the century. It is possible for Jan. 1 to occur on Sunday fifteen times in a single century. Objected to Classification A clergyman in Dublin once invited several of his colleagues to dinner, but was disappointed at not getting an answer from a very popular clergyman, whom he particularly desired to be present, so he called on his friend, fearing he might be ill. "You received my invitation, I hope?" "Yes," replied the other. "I received your very insulting communication." "Insulting!" "Very. Read it for yourself." The amazed rector read it, and found that, by a truly clerical error, he had invited the clergyman to come and dine if order "to meet a few other clerical dears." Formation of Peat. Peat is the product which results from the partial decay of vegetable matter—mosses and other marsh plants—which grows and dies in boggy places where the water stands. It is chiefly composed of sphagnum or bog moss. This moss has peculiarly absorptive properties, owing to the cuplike arrangement of its parts, which take up and hold water like a sponge. Sphagnum continues to grow after its roots have become detached from the ground. These two qualities explain why bogs occasionally slide from their old beds. Triumph of Good Manners Before the gentle measures of international high breeding the mischievous maxim, "Our Country, Right or Wrong," must increasingly give way, says the Century. Willingness to acknowledge a fault, disinclination to meddle in the affairs of others, sympathy for the weak against the oppressor, patience and reason as against petulance, rashness and force, are as possible to a nation as to an individual. A people should be as jealous of the national gentlemanliness as of the national credit. HAVE GIFT OF IMITATION. Many Animals Seem to Adopt the Habits of Other Species. Some animals have wonderful powers of imitation. Dogs brought up in the company of cats have been known to acquire the trick of licking the paws and then washing the face. When a cat has been taught to sit up for her food her kittens have been known to imitate her action. Darwin tells of a cat that was in the habit of putting her paw into the mouth of a narrow milk pitcher every time she got the chance and then licking the cream off her paw. Her kitten soon learned the same trick. A lady tells of a rabbit that she keeps in a cage with a monkey and says that Bunnie has caught many of the monkey's ways. It is said that starving pigeons that have been brought up on grain will not eat peas to save their lives, but that if pea-eating pigeons are put with them they follow their example and eat peas.
