In Haunts of Elephants In Haunts of Elephants On the Trans-Siberian On the Trans-Siberian The Fortunate Isles Life in Russian Village VOL. 21. NO. 18. **SCORPION BIT** "Between the spiders and scorpions, those grayish, tooblerisk foes of every living thing, which lurk in old walls and beneath the debris of ruins, silent, patient, giving the sting that kills and then sucking the victim's blood, there are points in common," writes F. G. Afalo, the traveler and writer of London. "This very habit of sucking blood is shared by them, for the scorpion does not tear its skin's flesh with pinchers, like a crayfish, but sucks the juices through a small and tubular mouth not unlike that of spiders. Both of them breathe through lung-openings in the abdomen and in each the number of legs is eight, not six, as in insects. The latter class, which form the food of the smaller spiders, are erroneously regarded as safe if they have wings to fly. Even in England there are spiders which run so swiftly and leap with such precision that, apart from the aid of webs, few but the largest insects are seen from their attacks. In Australia there are parachuting spiders which sail obliquely down from the tree tops, and these must be deadly to encounter. Let us give the spider its due. Even those who willingly concede its diligence grudge it the undeniable attribute of cleanliness. "Few created animals are more loathsome than the scorpion. There "In certain regions of Africa," writes an old hunter, "elephants are still numerous. This is particularly the case in the country lying between the Victoria and Albert lakes, which is very hilly and covered by much forest. Their tracks are visible everywhere, although they themselves are but rarely seen. The damage done by elephants to these forests is incredible. I have more than once come upon spots where these huge beasts stumped trees, apparently by elephant carnival, apparently for no other purpose than that of wanton destruction. A large area covering many acres would be completely stripped of trees, nothing but jagged stumps sticking up a few feet from the ground, remaining of what had once been thick forest. Masses of large trees would be uprooted and hurled in every direction, many of them being tossed by a long distance from their original position. Would remain intact, showing plain that food could not have been the primary object of this wholesale destruction. "Two engines are required on heavy grades, and special twenty-wheel locomotives are used on the hilly sections." writes William Greener concerning the Trans-Siberian railway, in his book, "A Secret Agent in Port Arthur." "Hot water is kept night and day at most stations, and the trains suffer severely from the inclement weather.

The host was a man of title, and not a mere title of nobility. He had responsibilities with his honors and drew from an official appointment. All the village acknowledged his authority, for he was the head of the community. His house was the biggest, his beard the redest, his skirts the most voluminous of any in the neighborhood. No trickery with a ticket office and a railway carriage will bring the visitor to this village. It reserves itself for those who are fervent enough in their explorations to face a country road and by-track most aggressively is a graceful beauty in the deadliest in the fierce tiger, even in the banded wasps and hornets, but in the scorpion there is nothing but foulness. The creature's bite varies in its res- ults, possibly according to the condition of the scorpion itself, but more probably according to that of the season of the fire. If a man, an American, who was repeatedly bitten by scorpions without on any occasion suffering more than a few hours of discomfort. In Morocco I have seen lads handle scorpions without a sign of fear, letting them crawl on their palms of their hands, even laying them on their eyes, and all for a quarter of the time that the skin of the open hand, stretched tight, gave the scorpion no purchase with which to get its weapons in play. "What was, however, far more remarkable was the patent indifference with which a gang of Moorish masons went to work barefooted to pull down an old building in the full knowledge that every blow of their picks on the fallings walls set Lesh scorpions to writhe over their feet and legs, for the scorpions in the accumulating rubbish almost up to the knees. To their way of thinking the creature's reputation was more evil 'than its bite.' "Elephants are but rarely seen in the forest, however numerous they may be. This is due to many causes. In the first place, they are naturally extremely shy animals and detest the neighborhood of man. In the second place they are largely nocturnal feeders, and rarely drink or bathe except at night. They often travel immense distances to and from the water and retire during the day to the remotest part of the forest, where they doze away the long, hot hours under the shadiest trees that they can find. Lastly, their scent is extremely keen. "This sense is so largely developed that they can recognize danger at a very long distance and as soon as the alarm is given they move quickly but noiselessly away. An an elephant disturbed or frightened will frequently travel twenty or thirty miles without a stop, and as his pace under such circumstances is a good five miles an hour, they will not be disturbed by workers in the forest, although often come upon absolutely fresh tracks, but seldom see the herd that has caused them." little thaw out the working parts of the frost-bound train. "I am still of the opinion that the Trans-Siberian state express trains afford the most comfortable railway traveling in the world. The cars are as luxurious but not so sumptuous as the Pullman palace cars of America. They are wider, and give more accommodation; and as the trains are run solid through from Moscow to Irkutsk, meals are provided at every hour of the day, and it is not necessary to breakfast before 7 one morning and after 9 the next, as sometimes happens on the American through transcontinental routes. In addition, the piano is a welcome addition; the exercising apparatus is useful, and the bath a convenience. The observation car was not much frequented in winter, and the reason for the existence of the photographer's dark room, with its dishes and trays, has departed, now that all photographing along the route is strictly prohibited."

At the journey's end, however, the real Russia is revealed—the tax-ridden, ignorant, verminous Russia of the mojik, where all the tales come true and the impressions gathered from picture books in the nursery justify themselves.

It depended on the land, and the people were all farmers or laborers, with the necessary sprinkling of shopkeepers. A naive set with nothing in reserve, very poor, very narrow, very honest.

RESTORES SPANISH EMBLEM --- Scientific Pie Dish for Making Digestible Pies Because a generous man built a library which enabled him to read, Andrew Carnegie promised himself that, should he become rich, he would devote his lifetime to building libraries so that all might have the benefit of books. He built 1,352 libraries, scattered over every part of the earth, in every English speaking community, in New Zealand and New York and Scot Porto Rico has Discarded American shield for Its Former Coat of Arms—Action the Result of Spirited Controversy—Introducer of Legislation Leading to Change Explains His Action—Thinks Arms Never Should Have Been Changed. Surprise is expressed in circles familiar with Porto Rican affairs at the news that the legislature of the island has rescinded the new coat-of-arms and gone back to the arms which the island had when it was under Spanish oppression. The bill, which originally was introduced by Secretary Post, says the Washington Star, failed in the executive council, but was reconsidered and passed. The announcement, coming close upon the arrival in Washington of the new Porto Rican resident commissioner in congress, who has intimated that he favors house rule for Porto Rico, causes some apprehension that the Americanization of the island is suffering a check. The new coat-of-arms was adopted by Gov. Allen's administration six years ago and was designed by one of the best heraldic designers in New York, under the supervision of Galliard Hunt of the state department, the historian of the great seal of the United States, and incorporated certain features of the coat-of-arms of the United States. The old coat-of-arms, for which it appears the Americanized coat-of-arms has been discarded, has One of the famous tests of American housewife is the character of her pie crusts. If they are soggy and indigestible she commits an offense against a great American institution and is found wanting; if they are light and flaky, melting in the mouth and welcomed by a grateful stomach, then her vocation is unquestioned. But the most experienced of housewives know that pie crusts are uncertain quantities. In spite of all precautions they are occasionally multius, and that pie is a failure. To partly obviate this uncertainty there is a familiar expedient—the placing of a cup among the fruit or meat contents of the pie to collect moisture that might otherwise find its way to the crust, preventing its proper baking and rendering it soggy and indigestible. The cup device was useful, but not perfect. There was difficulty about the escape of steam. It has remained for a physician—Dr. Adcock, evidently the cup device to invent a pie cup that solves the whole problem. It has been tested by a number of pie makers, who declare that it insures a light, well-baked crust when- How Decatur and His Men Fought the Corsairs. Gardner W. Allen, in his recent book, "Our Navy and the Barbary Corsairs," retells the old story of how Commodore Stephen Decatur, then a lieutenant in the United States navy, attacked a Tripolitan vessel. The incident occurred in 1804, when Decatur was lying off Tripol. Young Decatur had been told that the captain of this vessel had treacherously murdered his brother, John Decatur. He had surrendered, the Mr. Almari writes, to a man alongside and boarded with "Macdought and the remnant of his crew.

The restoration of the old coat-of-arms is the elimax of a spirited controversy. The republican party in the island, which was dominant when the Spanish crown was established, but which is now the minority party in the legislature, has opposed the return to the Spanish arms and it is claimed that, American local sentiment opposed the change. The Spanish heartsily favor the restoration of the supplanted Spanish emblem. The old arms of Porto Rico consisted of a black-edged shield with a green background, around which were ranged in red and yellow royal emblems of Spain, the crowned lion rampant, the castle and the banner of Castle. In the center, designating Porto Rico, the Paschal lamb, with cross and banners, stands meekly on the book of law, all resting on a fertile green island in the blue Caribbean sea. Over the lamb, in an azure sky, are the world famed crowned initials of Ferdinand and Isabella and still higher are the bow and arrow of the erstwhile hostile Caribs—all representing wealth, peace and submission the new arms typify the new Porto Rico crowned emblem, the top of a golden shield appear the red, white and blue of the American union.

In the contracted circumference of the cup just beneath the flange are small holes. As the fruit or meat cooks the steam rises up under the him furiously. The Tripolitan made a thrust with his boarding pike and, in attempting to parry the blow, Decatur's cutlass was broken off at the hit, leaving him for the moment unarmed. Another thrust of the pike wounded him in the arm. Decatur selzed the weapon, wrenched it away and grappled with his antagonist. After a short struggle they fell to the deck, with Decatur on top. Meanwhile, the two crews were fighting furiously about their leaders, and a Tripolitan aimed a blow at Decatur's head with his scimitar, when a seaman named Daniel Frazier, having both arms disabled by wounds interposed his head and received the blow, which laid open the scalp. The Tripolitan captain, being more powerful than Decatur, soon turned him Defective Page Pennsylvania 34. These figures were made public by Mr. Carnegie.

Mr. Post says in defense of the introduction of his bill: "I am surprised that my bill has caused so much discussion, but I am not sorry, as it shows healthy, patriotic sentiment and commendable local pride. In introducing it I never for an instant considered politics or religion. I believe the arms never should have been changed. Our original American colonies did not change their arms when they became independent states. In Porto Rico the natives naturally cling to customs and traditions centuries old, and all past associations which are innocent should be remembered. I am opposed to the changing of the names of ancient streets and buildings. The new names mean nothing to the natives, who rarely accept them, and they destroy parchment of our built heritage. I am confident that my bill is backed by the approval of many of the best and most intelligent, as well as the most loyal, people in Porto Rico."

A small boy sat with his mother and some friends at one of the tables. The small boy was about half through a tall lemonade when he spied a green lizard climbing on the wall of the hotel. He demanded that lizard immediately and in tones that were not to be denied. "I want him, mother," he cried. "I want that pretty green thing." The waiter, foreshadowing a tip, took compassion. For five minutes he chased the lizard with a broom and finally brushed it to the floor. The waiter picked it up and gave it to the boy, whose years must number either four or five. The boy held the slippery green thing in his hand for a time, petting it. Suddenly there was a squirm and the lizard darted up the boy's sleeve. The excitement was immediate and most pronounced. Mother went after that lizard with a vengeance. First she tried to reach up the boy's sleeve. Then she unbuttoned his blouse and reached down. Still no lizard. "It is not there," she cried finally. Mr. Webster's fondness for brandy gave one of his important clients a very bad twenty-four hours. He was called to Philadelphia to defend the Goodyear rubber patents and the head of the firm him at the station. When they had entered the carriage he at once turned to Mr. Webster and referred to one feature of the evidence to be presented in the trial the following day. "I speak of it, Mr. Webster," he said, "as it has a peculiarly important bearing on the case, and I thought you might not have understood its significance. Mr. Webster, who was looking dreamily out of the carriage window, was recalled to a consciousness of his client's presence. He yawned and went back against the cushions, remarked: "I've always hoped I might some day come to Philadelphia, because I've been told that there is no place in the United States where they serve finer brandy. When I came away from Boston I said to some of my friends: 'Boys, I'm going to find out "Nearly all my life I have heard if you would look a dog in the eye when he starts after you it would intimidate him and quiet his rising temper," said a man who takes an interest in pet theories and old dreams, according to the New Orleans Times-Democrat, "but I do not take much stock in the idea. The fact is that all this talk about cowing any kind of an animal by looking him squarely in the eye is all 'blarney' and hodgopedia. "I have tried it on the dog.

The ingenious application of this motor was the idea of Major Palliser of the Canadian militia, says the Scribes. Trials under the similarities to those under in war were carried out a few weeks ago at Bisley, where a member of the American embassy in London was an interested spectator. The motor employed for these operations is identically the same as that devised for agricultural work. It is a three-wheeled vehicle propelled by an eighteen-horse-power twin-cylinder gasoline motor.

In another moment (the eyes of all the piazza being upon him in the meantime), he grabbed his right shoulder and cried: "I think it's here!" A second he changed his grab to the left side of his chest and declared that the lizard certainly was there. The mother carefully searched both places, but there was no lizard. "I think," said the boy, a little later, "I think he's gone down in my trousers." "Well," said the mother, "if he's gone there he's got to stay until I get you upstairs." And he did stay until the party had finished their drinks. There was evidence that the lizard was eventually recovered in the seclusion of the lad's room, for he exhibited him in the afternoon, carefully tied to a string to prevent other explorations.

Senator Bacon of Georgia, not long since promulgated to an admiring world, the annexed specimen of red hot rhetoric: "It was a crime against society and civilization unsurpassed, unequaled, and unprecedented in all the ages, to endeavor by legislative enactment to enact and most inferior in blood and development of the human race, ignorant and utterly wanting in each and every moral act and mental equipment for governing themselves or others, and to place them in governmental hands, to govern with people of the South—a people of education, culture, and refinement—a people who not only by their own character, attainments and achievements, but by the attainments and achievements of an ancestry of a thousand years of the foremost and most illustrious race of all the earth." Unfortunately the Senator's eloquence does not disprove the fact that a large majority of the Caucasian people of the South are shamefully illiterate and have a limited political economy which is modeled upon that of the Hindoos and designed to insure the supremacy of the "men of ancestry." The policy of the Republican party laid down the barrier which condemned the poor Caucasian of the South to ignorance and poverty, and such men as Jeff Davis, Vardaman and Tillman are the born representatives of the "poor white" element of the population. These demagogues rode into power in consequence of their appeals to the prejudices of the "poor whites" of the South, which is equally intense against the Afro-American and his former master. The men in the South were the "poor white" and "sudden years" have ceased to have any significance as a political factor." CORRESPONDENT CURTIS Correspondent Curtis, who has been wandering through the South, in a recent letter gives the following as his personal opinion: "The Negro is naturally lazy; he loves to lie basking in the sun, and it is necessary to have an overseer to keep him at his work." He never observed the fact in all cases where white men are employed in large numbers, it is necessary to have an overseer. Nor has he, as yet, discovered that the Southern white man is just as lazy as the Afro-American, and just as lazy as the African-American, just as the plantation grocery. Everybody knows that during slavery times the poor white man gained a recreational living by hunting and fish- ing and was not trained to habits of industry as the Afro-American was. Neither was the rich white man, as he was impressed with the idea that it was divinely ordained that the Afro-American should see him. Afro-American was never could see any special reason why he should be especially enthusiastic about this function, and wisely concluded to do as little work as possible. Mr. Curtis himself, would be "naturally interested and find himself. There is nothing exhilarating about making bricks without straw. A NEW MOSES The Columbia (S. C.) State has discovered another Afro-American phenomenon in the person of Richard Carroll, a Baptist preacher, who is superintendent of an orphan home where he is a teacher. Carroll is an ideal person to be the Moses of the Afro-American people. Carroll is lecturing to large audiences, composed of big white folks, who occupied the lower floor of the Opera House, and some other folks. Carroll thinks that the Afro-American "is not a race to rule, but to follow, that the Southern white man is his best friend and that he is the white man's best friend, that he hates to face a white man in eating, and that education will not bring him any success." He also advises the Afro-American, not to vote. It is almost needless to state that Mr. Carroll carried his audience, the part "in the balcony above" excepted. His policy was a very simple and effective one, and consisted in saying just what the "white folks" can say to him. That policy always wins. In an opinion handed down the other day by the higher court of Maryland the "Jim Crow" legislation passed at the last session of the legislature is sustained on the same legal ground. The state legislature, the court held, had the authority to impose single regulations upon common carriers, and a regulation providing for the separation of white and Afro-American persons in the interest of public order, peace and morals is not unreasonable. So declares the court. But it adduces no proof that such action is in the interest of the public and morals and moreover that one can be given. That the southern legislatures are not influenced by any such considerations is a self-evident fact: for they wink at shamefully immoral relations existing between the races which contrain them every day. The plea is glaring hypocrisy and the men who make it happen are deceived by leastsemblance of morality mere white schmilches. Rider Haggard, the English author, has been terrifying the savants of the University of California, by asserting that "western civilization was in danger of being swept away by a conquering eastern people that had the power to govern." There were not afflicted with western civilis. "It is true that the way that Japan has walloped Russia has been a rude shock to the white man's plan to govern the world, but we do not entertain any doubt of the permanence of western civilization. But it is as if the world has been compelled that western civilization will be compelled to abate somewhat of its cankowerable color-prejudice and truly consent to the brotherhood of man, if not the fatherhood of God. Western civilization will be compelled to obliterate the color-prejudice and religion, or its commercial relations with the rest of the world will be of the most limited extent. Recently, one Poulnetty Bigelow, in two lectures delivered at the Boston University, took it upon himself, to insult the Afro-Americans of the country by using the most offensive language in reference to them. We quote merely one of his expressions, as follows: "There isn't a Nego who is fit to legislate in a nutshell, but a deputation of respectable Afro-American residents of Boston, led by Editor Trotter of the Guardian, waited upon the authorities of the University and secured a rebuke of the impudent fool that must have made him feel like he had butted in to a hornet's nest. These noble defenders of their race adopted the right policy and carried it out successfully. But the fact that Bigelow is now sensible of the fact that the jawbone of an ass is an uncommonly dangerous part of a blackguard's equipment. Those cheerful philosophers who have proved to their own satisfaction that the servants of the present day are "honeyest" creatures who ever existed in the apperance of the servant, who visited England in 1730, describes the servants of that day as "the plague of almost every house in town." The real cause of the prevalence of bad servants is the lack of respect for the employers, who mistreat the servants in every conceivable way, and then join in the general outey. The servants being, as a rule, poor and dependent; have no advocates nor defenders; hence, they work for the labor who labor under such disabilities. Judge Tree says that the people of the South are engaged in a struggle for race supremacy in their states. And he might have added that in so doing, they are attempting to destroy the very theory upon which this nation was founded and living. Continuing the United States, and utterly ignoring the religion they profts. The doctrine of race supremacy has proved to be the destruction of every nation that has attempted to put it in practice; for it is simply the doctrine that Might makes Right. If Bishop Turner will practice what he preaches, viz., go to Africa and stay there, the rest of us he leaves here and who intend to rest from the ill effects of his slogan of "go to Africa." There are more than 20,000,000 persons in America who have African blood in their veins but they were all born in America and are at home and intend to stay here. Bigelow robbed a Milwaukee bank of a million or two, and Mrs. Chadwick scooped in a like amount from various sources; and now comes William Carr of Manchester, Virginia, Carr of the "numerous articles" which he peddled around town. All of these worries belong to the "superior race." In Chapter I, the author says: "If there is one thing clearly established, it is that slavery was deprecated by the law, and recognition that such an institution was inconsistent with Christian civilization, inconsistent with the law for which the colonies had contended, and inconsistent with the public, retained from inserting in that great charter a name so repulsive to free-market principles that the public percipient witnesses to the public sentiment of that day. There was no state form of slavery, but it was injurious to society 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 arose from religious convictions as to its moral and destructive influence because as important and destructive influence of political forces; that while that have an important part in the creation of a third party. The Society of Friends led all other societies to publish articles as to whoso Lloyd Harrison, Benjamin Lundy or Chas, moral influence for the eradication of slavery, outspoken utterances in the Pesyterian, Baptist and Methodist churches at an early stage in India, Kentucky and Tennessee." Some years ago one who had been conspicuous in the war, and endeavored to show the unfaithfulness of current history in dealing with the events of the past, and thereupon a controversy sprang up in Osborne to be maintained by the Apostle of Emancipation, Geo. W. Julian, the writer who challenged "the truth of history," to be established before either Lundy or Garrison, but strangely over-aged Osborne to be maintained before either Lundy or John Woodman, a friend, who was born in New York in 1822. He was a count of his early life and career, exceeded by his sentiments. "When about 26 years of age he visited North Carolina, where he met a group of his fellow holders and wrote an essay entitled 'Considerations on the Keeping of Negroes' which was published, had a wide circulation, and was the work of emancipation. He traveled from colony to colony, preaching remonstrating and coercing with painstaking detail the "Free Soil Movement," "The Compromise," "The Nomination of Lincoln," and in their discussion exhibited a knowledge, which could only result from the leading men of those stirring times. CIVIL: WAR TIMES Civil War Times. By Daniel Walt Howe, author of the Puritan Republic, $1.50. Indianapolis: Dobbs Merrill Co. The war of '61 will never cease—at least for the most perennial and never failing topic of absorbing interest. This is so, because it will kill those giants still survive its virescates; those giants still survive its decapses, and the imminent deadly breakup of their military marches; its Gettysburg and Chickasaw fact profoundly influenced the civilizations of the world; because its echoes still reverberate in the various activities of American life. Because of these things the author's work with profit by any one and many incidents of the great strife which has hitherto unwritten, is brought forth by Mr. Howe. One of the most interesting chapters in the history of the Confederacy was the relation of the Confederacy to the grog Soldier. The author tells us that, during the Civil War, the man favored the enlistment of black soldiers in the Confederate Senate, and the bill authorizing the enlistment of Negro soldiers in the Confederate Senate, and that of Senator Hunter. That when the desperate circumstances of the Confederacy saw the doom of Richmond and the "cause," a draft order was issued to force the Confederacy to surrender the federal flag, but that before it could be made effective, the fall of Richmond, and the end of the war, this chapter is especially interesting at the end. There are other very interesting chapters in the book. The style is clear, unimaginative, and the author has written instructively. HISTORY OF THE COMMUNE OF 1871 History of the Commune of 1871. Translated from the French of Lissagourg, New York: International Publishing. "History of the Commune of 1871." Translated from the French of Lissagourg, New York: International Publishing. "History of the Commune of 1871." Translated from the French of Lissagourg, New York: International Publishing. a well written volume of history, dealing with one of the most important figures in the French show. Fiction. New York: International Publishing has performed the difficult art of preserving the peculiar epigrammatic and pointed style of all French novels, which Lissagourg appears to be a master. The descriptive art of the author never leaves from the opening to the closing chapter of this book of extraordinary happenings. The Commune of 1871 was th; culminated in the execution of the culmination of a criminal torpor that rested upon those in authority, and which followed swiftly upon the heels of the authorities. The arules under that grieve of military strategists Von Moltke. This volume, while designed especially for Schools and the Commercial Courses, Colleges, is equally suited for the general reader, as a brief, practical treatise on the legal principles of banking and Usages of Banking, and the Principles of Finance. The author describes the toks taken up. This is the first treatise to add those legal principles which refer to the toks taken up. This is the first treatise on methods of bank bookkeeping and works on the theory and history of money and credit, and the nature and importance of the subject, and present the essential principles in a clear and concise manner. This book appears to appeal to those who want to apply themselves to the business of banking, to those who are thus engaged, and to those who are studying the history and theories of banking.

Antisemitism. by Bernard Lazare, Translated from the French, Vol. Pp. 125. by Bernard Lazare, International Library Publishing Co. Recent events in Russia have given the author a great opportunity to translate from the French, and its pages must have been written many times. The author has the most painful interest to the Jewish question. The author is himself a Hebrew, and he is well known for being plied in the title to his book, but this circumstance does not seem to have biased his judgment in the forming of his book. The author has with great candor, and the blame is distributed with fairness. The fault is found in the author's world, but the Israelite himself is charged with having brought much of the book to his people by manifest shortcomings.

A little help is worth a lot of holer. Robert La Mar has returned from Hot Springs. The best way to silence conscience is to obey it. There is no protection in the life that is all policy. The cost of a thing cannot be measured by its price. If you wish everybody to see it, put it in THE APPEAL. The world owes you a living but you owe the wprld a life. The public kickers often have but weak private consciences. Frank Gillespie and family have gone to New York for the summer. Edward H. Wright, lawyer, 2963 Wabash avenue. Telephone Douglass 3003. J.

The boy who is afraid to strike back will never make the man prove enough to turn the other cheek. Mr. William Williams, 4814 Armour avenue, received a serious scalp wound in a strike riot last Tuesday. THE APPEAL is without question the best advertising medium through which to reach the Afro-Americans of Chicago. "Ozoned ox marrow" is the best preparation for the hair. Sold by all druggists.

Answer by mail only, stating qualifications. Address THE APPEAL, 325 Dearborn street. At Bethel Church last Sunday the annual sermon of the Foresters was delivered by Rev. A. J. Carey. The order paraded the streets headed by a band. Messrs. Hugh Simms, 359 31st street, and Charles Shields, 442 State street, who were recently injured in a street car accident, have about recovered from their injuries. The "Elks," one of the most popular and rapidly growing benevolent organizations in the city, will give an entertainment in the early part of May. Watch THE APPEAL for particulars.

The second annual sermon of the Chicago division of the Grand Fountain United Order of True Reformers was delivered last Sunday at Quinn Chapel A. M. E. Church by Rev. D. P. Roberts, pastor of the church. The exercises were interspersed with music, both vocal and instrumental, and a number of interesting addresses were listened to by a large and appreciative audience. Mr. V. James Henley is to assume the management of an exclusive club of eastern financiers early in the coming month. He has selected a corps of able assistants the chief of which is Mr. James M. Thomas, well known in this city. Mr. Henley is a gentleman of practical experience in the catering line, and we feel that he will win new laurels in his new home. Covering a period of years' he has carried to a successful finish many of the grand tours of men great in the political and financial world. He is well known in the club and social life of the south side, and enjoys the respect and confidence of a large circle of friends whose best wishes will follow him into his new field of endeavor. His strict attention to the small details of the business coupled with good methods will we are sure ANNOUNCEMENT No matter what other people say, we are a separate and distinct corporation from any other concern in the city and are exclusive St. Paul agents for Alfred Benjamin & Co.'s correct clothes for men. Other stores in St. Paul have been unable to purchase this celebrated make of clothing for the past two seasons; consequently anything they may offer must necessarily be two seasons old, and not cheap at any price. The only place in the city where this season's products of Alfred Benjamin & Co. can be found is with us, where the newest creations in Spring Suits, Top Coats, Aquaproof Coats and Fancy Vests are ready for your inspection. J.M. Kacnider Co. Corner 6th K Wabasha. commend to favor. During the week a dinner was tendered Mr. Henley by his friends and associates. SEEN AND HEARD IN MANY PLACES. The annual ball of the Triangle and Inner Circle Clubs at the First Regiment Armory last Thursday night met with the same success that has always crowned the efforts of these two famous organizations. The attendance was all that the management could desire and the hall presented a scene of beauty and fashion. Never since this vast hall was first thrown open for our affairs was such a wealth of smart gowns and pretty faces gathered within its four walls. Chicago's several smart sets were thoroughly represented, but everyone says that the music was not up to the standard. 草本 Apropos of my remarks about Mr. John R. Antor of Evanson two weeks ago I am reminded of the fact that I know two other promising young men by the name of Anter. Of both these young men are related to John, one is his brother and the other his cousin, and it is a peculiar fact they are both studying medicine. Clarence who resides here at the residence of Mrs. Brown, 2918 Calumet avenue, his course in this city, while Milton is a student at Howard University, Washington, D.C. I predict a bright and successful future for these young men. I sincerely hope that when the fortune does smile upon them, and perchance, the whole world will be paying homage to them for some great work that they have done or to be more explicit one will not forget the brother and the other the cousin who stood at their back and aided them in every way when times were not so good. The Keystone hotel has been making such rapid strides in public favor of late that it is no wonder that Messrs. Simmons and Frye are wearing "the smile that won't come off" and giving everybody the "jovies palm" or in other words the "glad hand." The bar and billiard room of the Keystone is the favorite meeting place for all of the men who have any leisure time, especially in the evening. For the benefit of the ladies I will add that the Keystone hotel accommodates gentlemen only. A number of little girls and boys among whom were Garnetta Tibbs, Louise Cummings, Hazel Thompson, Lorne Tjeller, Lewis Willie, Willie Curis, Bernard Lewis and Creighton Thompson had a delightful dancing party at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. Harrison Carr, 6452 Evans avenue, Wednesday night last. Mr. and Mrs. Carr are very good to their little friends for this is the second time that they have allowed the children to have a dance in their comfortable home. William Penn. BIRTHS.
