NO. 30. Nearly 2,000 Englishmen have been ennobled by Rome since 1870. Vatican titles, as they are called, can always be purchased, and any individual on payment of the sum of $20,000 is entitled to be addressed as "your grace." A count's title generally cows about $5,000, and that of a baron can be had for $4,000. Ladies, too, have bought titles for as small a sum as $750. Such titles when new are generally regarded with grave suspicion, but in the third generation everyone has forgotten the way the title was obtained. Every day at Heralds' college hundreds of individuals are to be found hunting for a distinguished ancestor, and they are willing to pay large sums to anyone who can manufacture a pedigree for them. Anything from 50 cents to $50,000 can be spent in ancestors. Almost five years ago an Islington blacksmith, whose wage wage still then had no exceeded $15, was left $50,000. Somebody induced him to have his pedigree traced. One day he called at Heralds' college, bringing his son, a smart lad of about 18, with him. Together they began a search and engaged a heraldry expert to help To keep his mother from starving, 13-year-old Abraham Koudos denied himself food for a week and himself died of starvation. The New York World tells the story. Mrs. Koudos is nearly famished. She sat nursing an infant in the wretched room in which her son died, grief-streaked at her loss. Her cheeks are so thin that the outline of her face is visible. And her eyes are sunken in her head. She has had little more than a crust of bread for a week. Mrs. Koudos had searched in vain for work to do; then Abraham started in to sell newspapers for a living. "You will never be in want now, mother," said he, "for I shall take care of you. I will earn a living for you and baby Pearl, just as father would have done." Abraham was not a success as a newsboy. The business was new to him, and he did not know where to go. He made 20 cents a day, however, and with this he bought food for his mother. He are no bunchee during the day and carried home early in the evening to With the Apaches, a really brave man does not stand as high in public estimation as does a clever thief. His chief excellence, from an Apache standpoint, lies in his ability to outwit the white man. I was sitting, says Mr. Cremony, in front of my tent, writing a letter, when a young Apache came up and asked what I was doing. I replied I was talking to my friend in Washington. "How can you talk to your friend so far away?" "When an Apache wishes to talk of speed a distant friend." I answered, "sends him a picture of a bird; he talks of something sweet he sends a picture of a flower. Instead of pictures the white man has these little signs which all understand." The Indian took up the letter and scrutinized it carefully. "I do not believe you." he said. "You James Butler, one of the earliest settlers of Alfred, Me., and a mechanic of some note, had the reputation of being one of the most skilled precarieties of his time in the state. The office of an old tavern, now known as the Central House, was his lounging place, where for years afterward his stories were famous. Only once was he known to story. It was a blustery day in March. A crowd of drummers were seated around the old fireplace in the office, swopping stories, when in strolled "Jim." He filled his pipe, listened for a while, then said: "Boys, you ought to have seen the cabbage I raised last summer. It was a dandy. I put the seed in a countersack, and this one grew and grew, and before it was two weeks old it was as large as an ordinary cabbage.

Members of the British peerage, as a rule, exhibit but a languid interest in the subject of their ancestors. On the other hand, an individual whose information concerning his family goes no farther back than his own father believes he will be a vastly superior person If he was the knight of the warrior was a Viking pirate, a Danish filbuster, a Saxon thane or a Norman free booster. The editor of "Dod's Peerage" states that there are fifty-five baronets, who are accepted as such, who could not make their claims good to their titles. The home secretary has stated in the House of Commons that there is no remedy against people who assume titles. A rich Mr. Jones finds that King John or some other monarch made a Jones a baronet during his reign. The title expired a century later. The 1904 Jones claims 134 knights and annexes the title. As Sir Ivory Jones lives quietly in the country few people think of questioning the claim. Stray Stories. give his mother the day's profits. Then he would eat just enough food to take the keen edge off his hunger. Mrs. Koudos realized that the boy was denying himself and tried to get him to eat more, but he always insisted that he had enough. Mrs. Koudos soon began to eat less herself, so that Abraham would take more nourishment. She could not hold this need of a nursing baby she needed healthful food. Soon she began to grow thin and was too weak to seek employment. A week ago Abraham was taken so ill he could not seel papers. Mrs. Koudos, with no money to buy medicines, did not know what to do. Neighbors sent some tea and a loaf of bread. They did not know to what extremes the little family had been driven. "Don't cry, mother," he said. "I will get well soon and make a living for us. I have only got a headache" he said. Then he took on until he fell asleep. Then she lay beside him and soon went to sleep, with her baby in her arms.

A few moments later I saw him slowly coming toward me, a piece of tobacco in his hand and a look of bewilderment on his face. Suddenly his expression changed to satisfaction and he hurried forward. "Did you get the tobacco?" I asked. "Yes, but I do not believe you. You and he had an understanding before so that you might deceive me. Now he seems more some of those little signs on paper, telling the sutler to give me much more tobacco, and if he does, then will I believe you." But the Indian's ruse failed.

"That almost equals a kettle I'm having made." "What about your kettle?" asked Jim. "I'm having a big brass kettle built," replied the traveling man, "and do you know, it is so large that the men hammering on one side of the kettle cannot hear the men pounding on the other side." "Honest?" asked Jim. "And what in the world are you going to do with a kettle of that size?" said the drummer. "that I would make you a present of it to cook your cabbage in."

French Scientist Who Declares That He Has Found Proof Tight People Four Thousand Years Ago Were Skilled in Surgery, His Museum and a Skull Which Bears Out His Theory. Dr. L. Hewittt A HUMAN SKULL TREPRINTED 4000 YEARS AGO THE INPUTSTREET MUSEUM If there was one department of human activity to which no one had ever dreamed of applying the trite adage that "there's nothing new under the sun," it was surely modern surgery. Delicate operations on bone and organ were held up as brilliant examples of perfect progress; and the awed world wondered. But to-day, the revelation has come that this, too, is old and that surgery existed before history began. This remarkable discovery is due to the researches of Dr. L. Manourier, the most famous anthropologist in France, who having observed and studied unmistakable marks on prehistoric skulls found in the region of Paris, now boldly declares that the human body is a master of surgery, merely treading in the wake of skilled practitioners who, without anesthetics or antiseptics, with blades of flint instead of tempered steel, performed three or four thousand years ago on French Scientist Who Declares That Thousand Years Ago Were Skilled Which Bears Out His Theory. Dre L. HARVICK A HUMAN SKULL 4000 YEARS AGO erations, requiring thorough knowledge and consummate ability. "It is established beyond question," said Dr. Manouvrir, "that trepanning, even to-day a delicate operation, was not only known in prehistoric times but was practiced far more extensively than nowadays. Before trepanning, surgeons must have known of other operations, like tracheal, scarlet diapering, and the wooden tools and machines which preceded store. Amputations and bone-sesting required less imagination and certainly no more skill than certain openings in skulls whose perfection is simply amazing. Men able to do such work could not be disconcerted by small operations. As for dressing wounds, they must have understood the art perfectly, for trepanning requires very complicated dressings." "And," was suggested, "the more marvelous prehistoric operations were followed with the usual gratifying results of modern surgical achievements, signal triumphs from the professional point of view, but the patient unfortunately dying from complications?" "No, for we have proofs that the patients survived." From the skulls filling the glass cases which lay about him, Dr. Manouvrir selected one. "This skull, which is a particularly beautiful one"——he began. "Beautiful," he repeated. "Don't you think so? Well, not only was the operation of trepanning successfully performed, but the patient lived long enough afterward for the bones to knit together and cicatrist, that is, several years at least. On this other skull the evidences are the same. "The opening, as you may see, was about oval, and was made by scraping a beveled furrow round the line traced for the operation. The operation of wearing away the bone lasted at least one hour and perhaps two, and must have been frightful. It was accompanied by external and internal hemorrhages and the definite destruction of important vessels. "First, a ribbon of flesh more than three inches in length had to be cut in the scalp. Then in order to lay bare the bone more than half of the temporal muscle had to be severed. Then the skull itself was attacked by scraping until a section would be removed, to be replaced afterward so skillfully that it knitted with the surrounding edges and the patient lived." "And without anaesthetics." "The histopathies." "Mr. Mourier," were necessated by the overcrowding of our modern cities. There are to-day in Central France regions where certain operations can be successfully performed without antiseptics, sometimes without common He Has Found Proof That People Four d in Surgery, His Museum and a Skull TREPRINTED The Purport cleaniness, whereas in Paris the same operations are generally fatal, though all antiseptic precautions are taken. The reason is that where the air is pure and the life healthy, there are few microbes, whereas these swarm wherever humanity gathers together in a small space." Should such a horribly painful operation be attempted? "We have no way of knowing that. Perhaps the reason was a wound in the portion of the skull which the treppanner removed, and which might have caused cerebral disturbances. Nowadays treppanning is resorted to when a splinter of bone weighs on the brain. Since they knew the operation in prehistoric times, they may have known the reasons also. Nevertheless, we are led to believe that they treppanned too much. To-day there is perhaps one case of treppanning for a million men. Among skulls of the neolithic period, found in the Paris region, one skull from every twenty-five, at a rupture calculation, is in need of operation on." Then there were different forms of operations? "Certainly," answered Dr. Manouvrir opening another case in his laboratory and taking out a skull marked with a curious T on the summit. "There was a simpler operation which was far more frequent and which was the first to attract my attention. These marks were certainly not the first to be handed off to hand of man. On account of their form and their position I named them 'the sincipital T', and I sought several hypotheses to explain them. It appeared possible that these marks might be the result of a heighty form of headdress, or else branding to mark prisoners, or as sigh of mourning, or religion. The Defective Page only theory which resisted analysis was that of medical treatment, and careful examination of different skull bearing similar marks with variations sufficed to convince me that they were caused by incisions or cauterizations performed upon children or adults as curative or preventive measures. "Quite by accident, I at this period found several texts left by classical surgeons of the middle ages, who recommended that in cases of convulsions, mania, epilepsy, cephalalgia, etc., incisions and cauterizations should be made on the head, i. e., the very operation to abolish the obstruction, attributed the sincipital marks. I was thus able to establish the link between pre-historic and modern surgery." "This custom still survives among certain primitive races. Dr. Berthelon of Tunis has informed me that the Arabs cut or caterize children in this way to prevent certain diseases. Dr. Lehmann Nitsche, curator of the Anthropological Museum of La Plata, has sent to the Paris Anthropological Society texts relating to similar custom still existing among the Guaches, the primitive inhabitants of the Great Canaries. "With the ancients it seemed probable that these operations were performed as a remedy against headaches, nervous disorders, excess of humidity in the brain, etc. The teeth of the skulls surrounding us seemed buried no longer in sardonic smiles, but in agonized grimaces as the vision of promiscuous and ghastly operations for chills and what not was evoked with serene professional calm by Dr. Manourier. "The sincipital T, which was the most frequent operation, was far simpler than trepanning. It appears to be caused by incisions or cauterizations on the periosteum or outer lining of the bone from which the skull derives its thickness. Where the periosteum is cut, the skull stops thickening while the development continues elsewhere, so that the scars appear very bad, although the bone was not cut through. "Take this skull, for instance. The patient was operated on several times, so the ho must have had no trouble in resisting the effects. He has the sincipital T, and furthermore a trepanning to one side of it, and a cauterization a little farther away." "Then these prehistoric surgeons were equipped with instruments for burning as well as cutting?" "Certainly. For catererizing they may have used sharp pointed instruments heated red hot, as we use today, sometimes they would appear to have used, for broad catererizations, wads of burning wool. For their cutting, they had instruments of slick—or flint—and a knife to create and do perfect things a modern surgeon might use on the daintest operations. The object of these instruments has long puzzled scientists, and can only be explained by surgery." Pins That Are Hard to Get. A new chapter is about to be added to the history of pins. The young man who looks after his own wardrobe is going to write it. It will treat of the very small pins used to fasten ribbon and other things that come up in bolts. "I want some of those pins the worst way," said the young man, "but I cannot find any. I have been in every big store in town and half the little ones looking for them. "It has been a hopeless quest. They are not in the market. 'Where can I get them?' I ask the clerk in desperation. They cannot tell. "'But there are such things,' I insist. 'Somebody makes them. I have seen them.' "So have I, the clerk admits, 'but only in ribbon and skirt binding.'" "According to that I will have to buy about twenty bolts of baby ribbon to pay for them, so, if anybody with a little regard for a lone man's pocket book will volunteer some information on the subject I shall be eternally obliged."

No Freemasonry in China Stories of "High Society" Brave Woman Saved Horses All Love the Enthusiast The Red Porch Chair The Red Porch Chair The installation of a grand master of the Chinese secret orders in the United States, popularly known as the "Chinese Freemasons," has aroused interest in the question of the connection between the Chinese secret societies and the Masonic body, says the Washington Star. Allusions to Chinese Freemasonry" appear periodically in the newspapers, though, according to the Cyclopedia of Fraternities, there is no such thing as Freemasonry among the Chinese. The only Masonic lodges in China are in the foreign concessions at the seaports. Their membership is composed exclusively of others than Chinese and they are conducted under foreign warrants. The rites of the order are more complex than the resemblance to those of the Freemasons, which accounts for the popular supposition of a 'connection between the two. The similarity, though more apparent than real, is remarkable in view of the antiquity of both, and the impossibility of either to have been patterned after the other. China is filled with secret societies, most of which have for their object the title of a master, a dynasty, with a pretended benevolence cance of the organization. The most powerful of these societies, the Ka- F. Leveson-Gower, long prominent in England, has lately published a volume of reminiscences, in which he tells the story of Princess Lieven: "What the princess chiefly suffered from was intense boredom, which amounted almost to a disease. If nobody called during the afternoon she would roll on the floor from crounil. On one occasion, when on her way from England, she got so much alarmed at the prospect of traveling from Calais to Paris alone that she offered a seat in her carriage to a respectable looking clergyman on board the steamer, which he joyfully accepted. She had been seated below her, incessantly as to drive her wild. She could only relieve her feelings by putting her head out of the window and screaming out to the wind, 'l m' ennule-ll m' ennueil!' (He fatigues me.)" (He fatigues me.)" in the '50's Mr. Leveson-Gower resided in St. Petersburg. He tells this story: "Opposite to our house was drawn up a regiment called Paulovskl, formed by the Emperor Paul, all the men having turned-up noses, and the women having been dressed was the fashion here to compose regiments of men who have the same sort Miss Emily G. Roebling, the youngest daughter of Charles G. Roebling, head of the Roebling corporation of Trenton, N. J., while sitting at her drawing-room window a few days ago saw fights coming from her father's immense stable. Miss Roebling rushed out and unlaid rescued nine thoroughbred horses, says the New York Times. The gardener summoned the fire department. When the first hose carriage turned into the yard the horses took fright at the steep-incline to the barn and started to run away in the direction of the large conservatory where Mr. Roebling raises his valuable and farmed horse. Miss Roebling, who is noted for her daring horsemanship, grabbed the horse by the bridle and this turned the animal's head away from the glass house. By this time Miss Roebling was a full-fledged volunteer member of the paid fire department. She assisted in recoupling a burst length of hose and seemed to enjoy the wetting she got. The fire was put out with but $200 damage. While the fire was in progress Miss Roebling worked as hard as any of Enthusiasm in life is the great generator of sunshine.

The Cyclopedia of Fraternities contains an account of an initiation ceremony at a Chinese lodge in Spokane, Wash, at which four white men, Freemasons, were present by invitation. The lodge represented a benevolent branch of the Kalah Hul. There were questions returned, kneeling on crossed swords, tea drinking, burning incense, a traditional season of refreshment and signs in which the head and hands were unable to detect anything that resembled the Masonry with which they were familiar. The same authority gives this account of the secret signs used by the Triad society, which was at the bottom of the Masonry. "Members always halt on entering a house, and then proceed with the felt foot first. When sitting they place their toes together and spread their heels apart.

When Mr. Motley, the historian, was American minister to London he had trouble at his first dinner party, Mr. Leveson-Gower says: "At that time couples were sent in to dinner in the house of the emperor. Unfortunately the Turkish ambassador was allotted to Lady Waldegrave, who did not care to have him as her neighbor. She consequently told him that his place was at the other side of the table.

When she went into the burning barn they were enveloped in smoke and were pulling at their halls, and she was shaken up by her hands, and when taken out allowed other members of the family to die them to trees and posts. After the fire Chief Allen congratulated Miss Reebling highly. He said that if she had not acted so promptly the animals would have been smothered. She said it was nothing, and went into the house to change her dress. Miss Reebling is a leader of the young social set in this city.

"The Russian army and navy cannot be accused of cowardice, for they have exhibited a desperate courage. They are by no means destitute of patriotism, and until adversity overtook them were reasonably loyal. They have been defeated apparently because they lacked intelligence, mechanical skill and progressiveness. From the helpless soldier, the soldier and sailor they have shown themselves intellectually inferior to the Japanese." The above is from the Chicago Chronicle and is a most remarkable confession for a Caucasian to make, for to admit that any dark-skinned individual can be superior to one who has prevailed standards, flat blasphemy. The trouble arises from "grandfather clauses" and disfranchisement measures of Russian policy. Such things are dangerous, but our Southern addle-brains fall to see it—the Almighty for them to see it. "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad." "As ye sow, so shall ye reap." That is the lesson: the one unchanging and unalterable law of national as well as individual existence in this world. The Russian government is warning the Romans that the Romanes had learnt it when the Goeths and Vandals burst with sharp swords and blazing torches into Italy. Roman vice and crime, in which they had been sunk so long, provided their own punishment for the Roman people and made them easy to face the fierce and terrible "source of God." We find the above truthful and spiritful expressions in a leading daily: It is another illustration of the truth of the old fable. The faults of Russia are in the bag before the editor's face; those of the United States, in the one behind his back. Near the elephant his arm is the trunk of the United States of Asia—as ye sow, ye shall reap. The old Greek tragedian wrote: "God's dice are always loaded." The records made by Afro-American youth at our very best universities ought to be a source of pride to every one of the race, and serve as a complete reply to the aspersions of the French. We have the French who shall mention two instances. The first is of Charles S. Duke, of Pine Bluff, Ark. who bore off the first mathematical honors at Harvard recently. Duke was a pupil of Prof. J. C. Corbin, a veteran educator, to whom he owed his early training and is an evidence of the excellence of that institution. The second instance is the following: The highest honors in the senior class at Cornell have been awarded to students who have won her race in the college of arts. She competed with 100 white students. and it is believed will be the first woman of her race to receive the Phi There really seem fair grounds for believing and hoping that the Maryland disfranchising amendment will be the promoter, has recently been snubbed very unceremoniously and has become quite nervous; Mr. Raisin, the Baltimore boss, is indifferent, and Gov. Warfield is non-committal. A wellinformed correspondent sums up the situation as follows: A special special failures on the part of Senator Gorman to control his party and his consequent loss of prestige, has been to encourage the independent element to break open with the leaders, with the result that opposition to the machine has rapidly made the unidurable organization that bids fair to wrest from Senator Gorman the control of a party over which his sway and dictatorship has been undisputed for a quarter of a century. A recent lynching at Dumas, Ark., was marked by a peculiar feature that the alleged offense was a black man eloping with a white woman. Dumas is a little scare-crow of a town in Southern Arkansas inhabited by a group of hillbillies. The proof of the offense was that the parties were travelling upon the same train, and of course in separate cars, for such is the Arkansas law. Among the things most strenuously denied by Southern writers is the existence of illicit relations between black men and white women, but in this relation do sometimes exist, by the consent of the woman. This fact being admitted, it is easy to account for many of the lynchings. Americans are very proud of boasting of their free government and very prone to censure the centralized government of the rest of the world, but both about performances, for the United States is composed of some states whose governments are oligarchies, pure and simple. Rhode Island is an oligarchy of the purest type, controlled by men who are the most executive. Mississippi is an oligarchy and about one thousand people choose crack-brained John Sharp Williams as Grand Duke. These two states are by no means the only oligarchies in the United States and they are also the right to make faces at Russia and Turkey. Another institions advance in the direction of social equality has recently transpired in New York. A white woman, daughter of George W. Smallley and granddaughter by adoption of Wendell Phillips, has accepted position of stenologist at Charles Harper Afro-American revenue collector. Such incidents exasperate the sensibilities of our Southern brethren, and should not be allowed. And to add to the bitterness of the pill, Miss Smallley coolly explains that she has no prejudice against her race, and will not allow this infraction of their ethical code to pass by unreubuted. Miss Smallley may listen for braying. Mr Rockefeller has made a donation of $10,000,000 for the promotion of "higher education" throughout the United States, under the support of Robert C. Dixon, the South African accept her share of the donation, for dear old Leopard Spots Dixon's that Odgen is a Negro worshiper and believer in social equality, which settles the question. Dixon is fearless ignorant of Southern charismaticities. It thinks that social equality of anything else will restrain Mississippi, South Carolina and Louisiana booled snatchers from having a grab at that pile. They are not built that way, neither is Dixon himself. There is something almost sublime in the manner in which the Equitable State treats themselves, such High and lofty scooping was never before heard of. A tip of a hundred thousand dollars was an ordinary occurrence. Just think how those high-toned scoundrels would die over the deprived poor of America. And just some petty thieving! And just think how the Devil would chuckle while they were doing so. We tail to see any reason why Mrs. Mary Rogers, of Vermont, who is under sentence of death for the murder of her husband, at the instance of her parramour should not suffer the deata penalty. Her crime is more than the crime and without a single redeeming feature. So abandoned a creature deserves no part of the consideration usually accorded to virtuous women. An Afro-American exchange gets off a lot of rot about the American man, and of many the steam engine and the telephone. Now if the editor will furnish some proof of the truth of his statements, he will do his race an immense service. But we do not believe he can or will answer our opinion he is merely talking through his hat. Suchly does the race no good. For pure unadulterated savagery, the Watkinsville, Ga. launching bears the palm. Its promoters had no respect for race, color or degrees of crime, but just went into it for the fun of the thing. It used "Serratch a Russie" you will dislodge "Serratch a Russie." Is it not probable that are long this will be paraphrased: "Serratch a Southerner and you will find a friend." --- In his 4th of July campaign opening address, **Morgan Jeff, Davis, of Arkansas**, said: "But it is not necessary to steal ballot boxes in eastern Arkansas any more than a person is warned from voting. But according to Jeff's own statement, his white constituents are doing an immense amount of stealing from each other and from the state." Beta Kappa award in this country. Japan has published schools for the purpose of teaching the ignorant Russian prisoners to read and write. A Polish soldier was much impressed by the fact that he had to learn to read his own languages in Japan and the world will not fail to make a note of it. **Governor Terrell of Georgia, "deeply deplores" the lynching of eight men at Watkinsville; but says it is too late now to take any steps in regard to the matter.** Georgia has a very divisive government. The state is in a kindergarten for needed education. SENATOR CULLOM WILL SEEK RE-ELECTION ON HIS RECORD IN THE SENATE. Veteran Senator of Illinois Will Ask No Factional Help. Has Been in Upper House Since 1882 and Rests on His Record. Seated in his easy chair on the shady porch of the fashionable Morraine hotel, Highland Park—his hot weather refuge—Senator Cullom has mapped out the manner of his next and probably his last appeal to the voters of the state, which sent him to congress time when Lincoln was president. Will Stand on His Record. Senator Cullom will make no factional fight in 'this campaign. He will not take the stump. He will offer to the people of Illinois his record of twenty-five years faithful service as Illinois representative in the upper house in Washington. "I don't want to win in a factional fight," he says. "I want the indomement of the people. I have tried to represent them. I have done what I thought I should do. I am re-elected to the office on my merits." "Poor as Church Mouse Now." "I never wanted an office except from the people," he said. "And I never wanted an office with money in it. That's why I'm as poor as a child." He added that a new primary law has given the people a chance to record their preference as to United States senator. My only objection to the new law is that it doesn't make the people's choice final, but of course, it can't that." "I never have relied on an organization that I trust," my appeal to the voters themselves. my appeals to the voters themselves. "I always have kept faith with my constituents, and they haven't gone back on me yet. I have never been allowed, although if I followed the fashion set in the gubernatorial campaign I should have to begin speaking two years in advance. So far as I know now no one will take the stump for me. I shall visit in different parts of the state and attend our veterans' reunions and gatherings, as usual, in my campaigns, traveling most of the summer, coming to Highland Park on when it is unhappy hot." John Hay Once His Pupil. John Hay Once His Pupil. "John Hay was the greatest secretary," he said. "I knew him when he was a boy. He said, 'Milton Hay, was my law partner in Springfield, Ill., and John came into our office to read law. He was there when Lincoln was elected president the first time. Lincoln took him to Washington as his private secretary. When I went to Washington four years later as congressman I used to enter Hay's room in the White House to formally to: 'One day I pushed in the door and came upon Lincoln, with several members of his cabin. He saw I was embarrassed, and told me to shut the door and sit down. 'Seward,' he said to his secretary of war, 'do you remember that old congressman from Illinois that I introduced Seward not only as a lawyer, but as Lincoln, and here is the boy that beat him.' That's the nearest I ever came to being a member of the cabin." Careful of People's Dollars. Careful of people's Dollars. Careful of his own dollars from necessity, he is equally careful of the people's dollars and has become a determined aforesaid of foxavantage. A characteristic stand by him is trying up work on the "senatorial building." an addition to the capitol at Washington, planned to furnish quarters for senatorial offices and committees. He is chairman of commission in charge of the work in New York to consider bids. He adjourned the commission, rejecting all bids. "The marble contractors tried to hold us up." he explained. "They thought we had to build the structure of marble and they could charge any price they pleased. I told them adjourn every meeting, as I did the first time, if their prices didn't come down." Besides being noted for economy, Senator Cullom, has led in the fight for railroad rate reform. He has not been credited by Mr. Roosevelt with originating the regulation programme on which the president, in much of his speech, nevertheless grew up and put through congress the "cullom act," which created the interstate commerce commission. And in 1898, as chairman of the interstate commerce committee of the senate, he drew up a bill embodying the very provisions being fought for now, giving the interstate committee authority to impose reasonable rates. Fights Hard Against Railroads. "I fought hard to have the committee report it out," he said, "but they were against it. I finally got them to let me report it adversely and state to the senate that I was for it, and wanted it considered. I have had to have it but failed. Nevertheless I have been advocating the bill ever since, and I am on the same side now." When Senator Cilium flies his petition for nomination as United States senator, he asks of state next spring, and pays his fee of $100 to have his name go on the primary ballots as a republican candidate, he asks of oath that he is a good republican. NIAGARA MOVEMENT. New National Race Organization Launched at Buffalo. A national conference of Afro-Americans met at Buffalo, N.Y., elected President, Secretary, and Hon. George H. Jackson, of Ohio, treasurer; also an executive committee. The conference adopted the following address to the country: The meeting, the Conference, the Niagara Movement, assembled in annual meeting at Buffalo, July 11, 12 and 13, 1905, congratulate the Afro-Americans on certain undoubted evidences of progress in the increase of intelligence, the buying of property, the checking of crime, the uplift in home life, the advance in literature and art, and the demonstration of constructive and executive ability in the conduct of great economic institutions. At the same time, we believe that this class of American citizens should protest emphatically and continually against the curtailment of their political rights. We believe in manhood suffrage; we believe that no man is entitled to vote without equal权利 to be entrusted wholly with the welfare of his neighbor. We believe also in protest against the curtailment of our civil rights. All American citizens have the right to equal treatment in places of public behavior and deserves it according to their behavior and deserves it. We especially complain against the denial of equal opportunities to us in economic life; in the rural districts of America; in the rural areas of America and virtual slavery; all over the South it tends to crush labor and small business enterprises; and everywhere American prejudice, helped often by the courts, is making it more difficult for Americans to earn a decent living. Common school education should be free to all American children and compulsory. High school training should be adequately provided for all, and only the education of no class or race in any section of our common country. We believe that in defense of its own institutions, the United States should aid common school education, particularly in the South, and we especially recommend that the state urge an increase in public high school facilities in the South, where the Afro-Americans are, almost wholly without such provisions. We favor well-equipped trade and technical schools of the South, and the need of adequate and liberal endowment for a few institutions of higher education must be patent to sincere well-wishers of the race. We demand upright judgments in cases of discrimination on account of color and the same measure of punishment and the same efforts at reformation for black as for white offenders. We need orphanages and farm schools for dependent children, juvenile reformatories for delinquents, and the abolition of the dehumanizing convict-lease system. We note with alarm the evident retrogression in this land, of sound public opinion on the subject of manhood rights, republican government and humility, that this nation will not degenerate into a mob of hoasters and oppressors, but rather will return to the faith of the fathers, that all men were created free and equal, with certain unallable rights. We plead for health—for an opportunity to live in decent houses, and localities, for a chance to rear our children in physical and moral cleanliness. We hold up for public execution the conduct of two opposite classes of men; the practice among employers of importing ignorant Afro-American slaves in the United States for forcing them neither protection nor permanent employment; and the practice of labor unions of proscribing and boycotting and oppressing thousands of their fellow-tollers, simply because they are black. These methods have accentuated and will accentuate the need for a moral high ground and they are disgraceful to both sides. We refuse to allow the impression to remain that the Afro-American assents to inferiority, is submissive oppression and apologetic before insults. Through helplessness we may oppress and deprive the million American must never cease to assail the ears of their fellows, so long as America is unjust. Any discrimination based simply on race or color is barbarous, we care not how hallowed it be by custom, pedicency or prince, but by ignorance of ignorance, immorality, poverty or disease may be legitimate methods of reform, and against them we have no word of protest; but discriminations based simply and solely on physical peculiarities place them in the category of unreasonable human savagery of which the world is and ought to be thoroughly ashamed. We protest against the Jim-Crow car, since its effect is and must be to make us pay first-class for third-class accommodation to open our doors to discomfort and citywantonly our manhood, womanhood and self-respect. We regret that this nation has never seen fit adequately to reward the black soldiers who in its five wars, have defended their country, and have been systematically denied the promotions which their abilities deserve. And we regard as unjust, the exclusion of black boys from the military and naval training schools. We urge upon Congress the enactment of appropriate legislation for security enforcement of those articles of freedom, the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States. We repudiate the monstrous doctrine that the oppressor should be the enemy as to the rights of the oppressed. The Afro-American race in America, stolen, robbed and degraded, struggling up through difficulties and oppression, needs sympathy and receives criticism, needspathy and is given mob protection and is given mob violence, needs justice and is given charity, needs leadership and is given cowardice and apology, needs bread and is given a stone. This nation will never stand justified before God until these things are changed. Especially are we surprised and astonished at the recent attitude of the church of Christ—on the increase of a desire to how to racial prejudice, to narrow the bounds of human brotherhood, and to segregate black men in other sanctuary or wrong, unchristian and too nationality civilization. Of the above grievances we do not hesitate to complain, and to complain loudly and insistently. To ignore, overlook, or apologize for these wrongs is to prove ourselves unworthy of freedom. Persistent manly agitation is the way to liberty, and toward this goal the Niagara Movement has co-operation of over 90 of all races. At the same time we want to acknowledge with deep thankfulness the help of our fellowmen from the abolitionist down to those who today still stand for equal opportunity and who have given and still give of their wealth and of their poverty for our advancement. And while we are demanding, and ought to demand, and will continue to demand the rights enumerated above, God would that we should ever forget our proper corresponding duties upon our people: The duty to vote. The duty to respect the rights of others. The duty to work. The duty to work. The duty to obey the laws. The duty to send our children to school. The duty to be clean and orderly. The duty to respect ourselves, even yourself. This statement, complaint and pray Continued on Fourth Page. Knowles Building. Boys' Hall. Stone Hall. Girls' Hall. Model Home.

Bishop Peck of the. Methodist chureh was a large man, weighing over 350 pounds. While on'a tour and stopping at the residence of a presid- ing elder, the good bishop turned over in his bed, and the furniture collapsed, dropping him to the floor with a tre- mendous thud.

PAULL Ralephens 1005 L FURNITURE SENSE Some people who are not given to thinking imagine that a house that sells on the installment plan necessarily carries trashy merchandise. Nothing is farther from the truth, so far as this house is concerned. For 22 years we have catered to the wants of the people of the Northwest and never a dissatisfied customer. The goods we carry are made by the VERY BEST MANUFACTURERS in America, and the only difference in this house and others which claim to be exclusive and high-class is that we make good furniture easy for the man of modest means, while the so-called exclusive houses shut him off entirely by making him pay cash. Again, it is thought by some that an installment house asks higher prices than those which sell for cash. This is another "visionary theory," which is so far from the truth as to be ridiculous. One visit here will explode it. We sell at lower prices than any exclusive house, and WE GIVE YOU CREDIT BECAUSE WE KNOW YOU NEED IT, and because we can sell twice as much merchandise that way as we can for cash. Take these matters home and think them over. They are worth the consideration of any sane man or woman. The Colonade Dancing Academy had a splendid crowd on last Wednesday evening and all enjoyed themselves. The splendid music by Prof Lafayette Mason and Armant's orchestra gave the usual satisfaction. Armant's orchestra will be present at all the assemblies of the Colonade Dancing Academy, corner of University and Farrington Aves. Be sure to attend next Wednesday evening. Arthur Winstead, principal. The Colonade Dancing Academy seems to be pleasing the public immeasurably as the number of patrons is constantly on the increase. The hall is a very nice one, has a fine floor and everything is as snug as can be. Despite all counter attractions every Wednesday night the usual large and highly pleased crowd is present. Principal Winstead is constantly on the lookout to please his patrons and especial attention is paid to beginners.

An old Roman vault has been uncovered at Chiswick, in England, by workmen who were preparing for the foundations of a modern flat building. Now the vault, with its red tiled floor and other marks of Roman days, lies open to the twentieth century skies. The vault measures about fourteen or fifteen feet each way and appears to have been part of the villa of some old Roman centurion. It is directly beneath the cellars of the old Sutton court, a great place in the time of Cromwell. Many pieces of valuable pottery of centuries ago have been found, as well as what is believed to have been part of a subterranean passage between Sutton court and the neighboring Chiswick house. It is imagined that the vault and passage figured in the plots and counterplots of the stormy times of Cromwell when his third daughter, the vigorous and strong-minded Maria, lived at Sutton court. When you come to say goodbye to old sins, it is unwise to hold a farewell meeting. When a man is complimented, he may not swallow it all, but he thinks there is something in it.—Atchison Globe.

The cool head conduces to a successful meeting of emergencies with a feeling that everything is going to come out all right. The feeling of quiet, self-control in itself makes one better able to work toward the good result. To a mother this self-possession is invaluable. In a large family small events calculated to "preset the domestic machinery constantly". To the mother it seems to be a law of nature that children should continually have hairbreadth escapes and come out within an inch of their lives. But is it equally a law of nature that they should escape. And whenever the critical moment arrives in her own life or in the life of another, it is important for a woman to remember that the worst thing she can do at that moment is to lose her head; the best thing she can do is to keep her mind in control. To keep her head cool means that she is a help instead of a hindrance, an assistance instead of a drag. In an emergency it is better to seem heartless than to be inefficient. Better the one person who stands coolly by the sufferer and sees the way to help him than the ten persons who are ready to cry out and faint and shed tears over his calamities and pains. Affection and sympathy are sometimes best proved by ignoring them, particularly when the moment arrives for action, not tears.—Philadelphia Inquirer. His Drink Had Four Thirds. The negro bootblacks in a Broadway barber shop were talking about drinking. "Ah like ma red-eye straight. No mixin' fo' me," said one. The other paused a moment in his work. "Ah used to like it that a-way, too," he said, but Ah's changed mastes. Sunday a man bought me a drink an' it wah a mixed one. It wah fine." "What wah it? asked the other. "It wah three thirds whisky an' the othah third blackbehy wine" was the reply.—Kansas City Times. There stands a palace on a hill, A splendid, easily pile, Who beats the king in building who Lives there in lordly style. A little way beyond there stands A weather-beaten shack, And they that occupy it sigh For comforts that they lack. Now think a space and guess which place Who from experience believes It pays to advertise. Resemblance of Wheat and Corn Resemblance or wheat and Corn. Wheat and corn in their natural state, are quite unlike in appearance. When they are finely ground and bolted, however, the resemblance is striking, and a few years ago the milling industry was seriously threatened by the sale as wheat flour of a mixture of the two. Fortunately, this practice has been entirely stopped by a well-enforced law. To the hypocrite one man's religion is another man's revenue. The reward of mastering one difficulty is to meet another. We find no better feelings in others than we foster in ourselves. You cannot escape your taxes here by talking about your citizenship there.
