Real Son of the American Revolution Real Son of the American Revolution James M. Edwards of Toledo, Ohio, Has Unqualified Right to Bear That Proud Title—Son of a Minute Man. To be one of about fifteen of the surviving Sons of the American Revolution and to be the only survivor of a participant in the historic battle of Lexington is the proud distinction borne by Jas. M. Edwards of Toledo, Ohio. Mr. Edwards is in his ninety-second year, and lives with his son. The fact that he is the only surviving son is not to be wondered at when we consider that peace has been declared for more than 120 years. According to the roster of the Sons of the American Revolution prepared early in 1904 there were then twenty-one surviving sons. But since that it is known that six at least have died. M. Edwards is the son of Ebenezer Edwards, who was a minute man from Acton, Mass., and was fired one of the first guns in defense of cord road and stood by Capt. Davis when he was struck down by the first English gun fired in the revolutionary Rapid Growth of World's Great Cities United States the Only Country that Can Boast of Three Containing Over One Million Inhabitants. There are now in the world nine cities of more than one million inhabitants each. Three of these—namely, New York, Chicago and Philadelphia—are cities of that new world which was only dreamed of 500 years ago and was undreamed of when Thebes, Babylon and Nineveh vaulted themselves as important centers of civilization. No other nation than the United States has more than one of these big towns, the other being London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Canton and Tokyo. The new census will probably show a population in New York city of close up 4,000,000 inhabitants the unviscured figure is 3,987,696. This is a gain of over 100,000 a year since 1900, when the first emigration after the consolidation of New York and Brooklyn showed a population in Greater New York of 3,477,000. London has a population at present of 4,536,641. New York is His Proposal Made in Original Manner Girl of His Heart Helped Out Bashful Youth to Some Purpose—Just a Hint and the Rest Was Easy. My girl and I had been keeping company for two years, and at last I realized that something definite must be done. I carefully prepared—in office hours—various short and pithy speeches, but, strange to say, when I came into the presence of my sweetheart, they seemed to melt away, and so I decided to put the proposal off and go to work. It it went on for another six months. My sweetheart now—as it seemed to me—been to look at me in a reproachful manner, and I became desperate. I suddenly hit upon the plan of lending her two books to read, one of which was "How to be Happy, Though Married. She returned them in a fortnight, and said, with a beautiful smile, that she liked them very well. I thought this was a good beginning, and my heart beat high with hope. Next week I lent her another care In Little Danger of Becoming Toper Woman Drank Beer on Advice of Physician, but Brewery Would Not Get Rich on Her Custom.

To appreciate the circumstances you must know that Miss N---- craves through a long line to the Puritans, and has imbibed from them strong and unyielding principles, particularly as regards saloons and liquor. "For some time," the doctor continued, "Miss N---- has been troubled with insomnia, and has tried various forms of exercise and all sorts of remedies. Finally, she told me of her trouble. Perhaps you can imagine her horror when I suggested that beer might help her to woo sleep, and even went so far as to insist that it would be better for her to drink three a day. After a time, however, she decided to try my prescription. "Then it took her a week to brace her courage to point to the point of order."

Ebenezer Edwards was born in 1757 in Acton, and was a carpenter by trade. At the age of 18 he ran away and enlisted. He was finally transferred to Fort Dorchester, where he spent some time. After three years of service he received an honorable discharge and went to the Green Hills New Hampshire. There he married Lyla Wheeler, and by her had eleven children, all of whom are dead. He married Mary Flint in 1801, and by her had four children, the youngest being James M., who is the sole survivor. Ebenezer died in 1826. James M. Edwards was born Dec. 27, 1814, and was married to Elizabeth Moffitt of Cambridge March 6, 1854; they recently celebrated their fifty-first anniversary together. Four children blessed this union, all of whom are living. They are Frank M., an attorney in Boston; Herbert, a professional man of Toledo, Ohio; Ellzaca Seers of St. Paul and Mrs. Augusta Seers of Olive City; Mr. Edwards was first a banker in Boston a number of years, and later was in the wholesale lumber business in Grand Rapids, Mich. thus a close second, and in all probability will overtake and pass London within another generation. The contention that this is improbable because the metropolitan area of London includes 6,581,372 inhabitants, is unfounded, because it must be remembered that the actual urban district of New York city includes Jersey City, Hoboken, Newark, Elizabeth, Paterson and Yonkers, which are not comprehended in the municipal corporation of New York city. For ten years the city has been gaining ground that the rapid progress of cities in the nineteenth century will not continue throughout the twentieth.

She returned the book with verbal expressions of gratitude and delight, but never another word. On reaching home I opened the book, and behold!

PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1905. Highest Tower in the World Soon to Be Built for Amusement of New Yorkers Highest Tower in the World Soon to Be Built for Amusement of New Yorkers Mont Pelee Tower a Natural Wonder Original always and in all things, New York is soon to have the oddest amusement enterprise on the face of the earth, in the shape of a tower taller than any structure in the world and equipped with a larger variety of combined entertainments and utilities than anything that has ever existed for the edification of the millions who are constantly and hungrily seeking new pleasures, says the Montreal Herald. Called "The Weber Tower," after its designer, Carl Weber, one of the best known experts in the matter of tall steel concrete constructions, the buffling will be unique in many ways, and when it has been erected, either in one of the parks of Manhattan, or in some equally prominent spot, it will unquestionably be one of the foremost attractions of the metropolis. In the first place, it will reach the enormous height of 1,250 feet, just 258 feet longer than the Elfelt tower in Paris, and more than twice as tall as the Washington monument, which, with 555 feet, is an ever-estern permanent structure in the world. It will so far overt everything in New York that comparison is idle, the Park Row building, which now holds pre-eminence being only 382 feet high, and the St. Paul building ranking high, having but 308 feet. In Europe, after the Elfelt tower, there is only the Uml theatral, with 528 feet, but this is excelled by the city hall in Philadelphia, with 548 feet. Height alone, however, will not be the chief recommendation of the Webb tower. It will be a skyscraper of universal invitation. If you are a business man you will be able to rent offices inside its lean but lofty stretches. If you want an evening's frolic you will be escorted to the highest roof garden in the world, eleven hundred feet above the sidewalk, which is so high that every other roof garden will look like a pigmy patch light without form or substance. If you are an astronomer you will find the paraphernula for the study of the heavens at such close range that you will hardly need a telescope. And above there will be the necessary precautions to vent you jumping off if you are one of those persons who get that impulse whenever they reach the top of a high place. Although virtually nothing has been known of this remarkable project except by those most intimately associated with it, the plans have so far progressed that in all likelihood it will be an accomplished fact in a reasonably short time. Several of the most influential capitalists in New York have taken it up and have been so much impressed with it that the vast ready and actual work will probably begin before the winter sets in. So thoroughly has the scheme been worked out that the whole structure can be completed and ready for use within a year after the beginning of the operation. In design the tower will be entirely novel. Its main part is to be cylindrical, in the form of a shaft of thirty-five feet inside diameter, the tower 300 feet reinforced by a system of ribs, while the largest outside for the accommodation be 140 feet. Balconies for the accommodation of visitors will be provided at various heights, and the highest platform accessible public will be twelve hundred feet above the street level, where there will be space for as many as sixteen hundred persons at one time. According to present plans, eight elevators will run in the main shaft, with a capacity of about 1,250 persons every hour. The main platform, however, where there will be a roof garden that can be inclosed when the necessity arises, will be eleven hundred feet high. Here there will be refreshment stands, a postoffice, telegraph office, public telephones, toilet rooms and about everything else that modern exigencies demand, while well informed guides will be in attendance to point out and explain the wonderful views from every side and to furnish field glasses when required. Another novel feature will be provision for a United States weather observatory, which will be higher than any now in use, as well as several rooms applicable to private scientific research. Result of the Memorable Eruption of May, 1902 – Prof. Heilpin Deeply Impressed by Its Appearance. Prof. Angelo Heilpin has written a monograph on that remarkable freak of nature, the "tower" which appeared on Mont Pelee after the famous eruption of that volcano. The outbreak of Mont Pelee and the obliteration of St. Pierre, Martinique, occurred in May 1902. In a little more than a year thereafter the volcano had formed a new cone, through the apex of which it had pushed what Mr. Heilpin calls a tower. This was "a gigantic core at the time of its greatest development and 350 to its 500 feet thick at its base." The cone and the tower were about 2,350 feet high and the apex of the latter was 5,290 feet above the sea. Of its appearance Mr. Heilpin writes: "None of the grand scenes of nature which I had seen before—the Matterhorn, the domes of the Yosemite, the colossus of Popocatépetl soaring above 1250 FEET 985 FEET 555 FEET 515 FEET 382 FEET From the base of the tower up to the 300 foot balcony there will be eighteen stories, some of which will be utilized for office purposes and some for entertainment. There will be ample room for a theater, as well as for a museum and other exhibitions. As a matter of fact, half a dozen distinct entertainment enterprises may be included in this great space without conflict. The second floor, for a restaurant of the first class, will ten thousand square feet of floor space, and of course, the most up-to-date improvements in the way of comfort and decorative effect. On the lower floor there will be stores, but only such as will be in harmony with the purposes of the entire office, and here also will be located the electric machinery for the operation of the elevators and the power for the light, heat, ventilation, apparatus and so on, although this will be of such a magnitude that a part of it will go below the main stairway. Although details of the architectural ornamentation have not yet been perfected, it is promised that the entrances especially will be extraordinarily elaborate, with marble columns, reception rooms and other features of luxury and splendor. So far as may be possible this effect of richness will be striven from the base of the building to the top of the tower. Whatever other attractions the building may contain, the top of it will be the greatest, by reason of the immense height and the magnificent the shoulder of Ixtacihuitl, or the grand cavern of the Colorado—impressed me to the extent that did the view of Pelee's tower from the crater rim." The tower was first seen by Mr. Helpinr as simply a "needle" about Aug. 24, 1903; in May, 1903, it had grown until it reached 5,200 feet above the sea; but on May 31 it lost 180 feet of its summit. It grew up again at a rate of from twenty to thirty feet a day, but from time to time lost further portions of its apex. Mr. Helpinr believes that the tower was "merely the ancient core of the volcano that had been forced from the position of rest in which solidification had left it." Its "burnout," "scraggy" and "slugy" appearance makes the scientist doubt that it was a recent growth. After a period of record, recorded height in 1908, the tower disappeared regrowths, began to disappear in 1903; by the middle of that month it had lost permanently 400 feet and is 18 August another 100 feet. Defective Page view to be had there, to say nothing of the quality of the air in any kind of weather. Before the eyes of the spectator there will lie the whole city of New York, the Atlantic ocean as far as the sight can reach, the Hudson river and the surrounding country to a distance of 250 miles. It has been estimated that the view will take in a territory of 20,000 square miles. All the year around the tower will be open and the elevators will begin to run one hour before sunrise and continue until midnight. The upper floors, however, probably will be utilized as club rooms, in which case, of the members will have access at all times. It is estimated that the cost of the new tower will be about two million dollars, including electric equipment, interior decoration and fixtures, and a reserve fund for emergencies. It is believed that the tower, when finally in operation, will be capable of accommodating easily 15,000 persons a day. The One Safe Spot De Haven Yocum, the champion bowler of the University of Pennsylvania, was at the Stockton alleys, in Cape May, watching the bowling, more strenuous than skillful, of a quartet of brown young men. Mr. Yocum, smiling a little, smoked and regarded the wild balls. Now one shot into an adjoining alley. Now and other bounced up and hit the attendant. Now a big one, escaping from a too weak hand, crashed to the floor with the noise of a 13-inch gun. Twice in five minutes an erratic ball struck the young attendant. Finally, when the lad narrowly escaped a blow on the head from a hit ball, Mr. Yocum took his pipe from his mouth and called down the alley: "Stand in among the pins, if you don't want to get hurt."

I wouldn't give a cane a bushel for souvenir match boxes and pin trays and postal cards, but I literally dote on medicine bottles. I make it a point to visit the drug store of every town I stop in, even though I am there only a few hours, and buy a bottle of camphor or other harmless and inexpensive drug. I have been working the bottle racket ever since I was a little girl.

About nineteen years ago, before the hills hereabouts became the summer resorts for the state's elite, and rustic cottagers were scarce on the mountains. I rode over from Golden to Waltem Lake on a burro, more to acquaint myself with the country and, of course, incidentally to shoot any game I chanced to spy, says a writer in the Denver Post. From a distance I caught sight of a lake glistening in the sunlight like a big patch of snow, and the closer I got the more decided I became to pluck tent on its green carpeted banks for the few days' recreation. There were two and six pounders, in the lake in those days, and I caught lots of them. One afternoon dark clouds began hovering around the mountain tops, and by dusk the wind had gained in velocity and great whitecapped appeared on the lake, to be transformed into clouds of mist which sprayed the mountain sides like an April shower. Off in the distance I heard a peculiar wind sweeping over the mountains and shortly the pine trees on the opposite side of the lake began swaying heavily, as if they would break, and Not Always as Welcome as the Verses of Poets Have Depicted — Knows Too Much About the "Salad Days."

Old Adage About Idle Hands as True To-Day as When First Uttered — Statistics That Are Worth Pondering. That "Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do" is as true to-day as in the days when men could see, or thought they could see, the horned head looking over their shoulders. It is now claimed that there is satisfactory proof, derived from prison statistics, that busy hands keep boys from starting in lives of crime. A writer in the North American Review asserts that manual training is almost as good a preventive of crime as vaccination is of smallpox. It is said that the warden of a penitentiary was asked: "What per cent of the prisoners under your care have received any manual training beyond some acquaintance with farming?" "Not 1 per cent," replied the warden. Eminent Professor Sees Promise of Many More Years of Usefulness Than Can at Present Be Counted On. Against cold, heat and famine the white corpuscles are powerless, but they intervene for the protection of the organism in the case alike of razor scratch or a stroke of apoplexy. They also struggle against the microbes of putrefaction. When the human body is invaded by such lethal microbes, the phagocytes rush to its defense, and, in so far as lies in their capacity, they not only kill, but swallow and digest, the hostile germs.

Hardly had the trees ceased their violent shaking when I gazed in wonder at the water-spout forming in the middle of the lake. It was a splendid spectacle as it gradually grew in height, spiral shape, and in diameter appeared to be twenty feet at its base. Like a monument it rose on the surface of the water, when there came another distant weird sound, and in the fierceness of the trees agitation I lost sight of water-spout, but soon another loomed in nearer to shore, and when it collapsed it was a rain of live trout, gentleman. I say geisha Colorado mountain trout, and they lay scattered on the ground for quite a distance around me, but hardly any weighed over three ounces. How do I account for it? Well, I figured it out, this way—the water-spout happened to form over a large school of fish near the shore where the water was quite shallow and the suction of the whirlwind was so great it raised the fish that were in water only a few inches deep. Rather than see the fish perish on land I busied myself for an hour throwing them the lake, but in many life was extinct, having fallen on the rocks from a height of probably fifty feet.

When we consider the fact that several of the southern states are ruled by the poor white man, who is rapidly putting into all places of honor the men of his own class and eliminating the serious of the old slave-holding white man who used to monopolize such positions, we discuss the disenchanted for the disfranchised policies down South. Senator Tillman is a representative of the poor white element as is Governor Jeff Davis of Arkansas. From habit and the force of tradition, the poor white man still defends to some extent to his brother of aristocratic descent, but day by day he is more tolerant and clamish. The aristocrat struggles hard to retain the immunities of his class, but his hold is becoming more and more precarious. All the intelligence of the democratic party of Arkansas was arrayed against Jeff, the traditions of the party were against the third term, but Jeff was elected his opposers from about all the positions they held in the levee board, the university and the board of health. The only hope of the aristocratic element is to disfranchise a portion of the ignorant white class, and this can be done with a chance of success by the best that the scheme contemplates only the fraternity assessment of the African American. But an enactment, basing the right to vote upon the ability to read and explain a section of the constitution of a state, is very elastic and can readily be applied to illiterate white men. It will be thus used when necessary. THE AMERICAN ABROAD. When the average American, especially a Southerner, sojourns or resides abroad, and comes in contact with a colored people, he at once proceeds to enact that the country which he honors with his presence shall conform to the Jim Crow laws of Alabama and Georgia; and as a natural citizen he himself proposes himself to be persona non grata. The Southern white ministers did this at the late Baptist Congress in London, and Apperius followed the same precedent in Vermont, which proposed to rule by virtue of being a citizen of the noble state of Alabama. As a consequence of this impudence upon the part of the Southern brother, no citizen of the United States, no foreign country, among dark-complex foreign countries, without being subjected to very serious annoyances. As a proof, we quote the following from a letter in the New York Sun: "For years a man was going on in Porto Rico against American American methods and ways. We --- TERMS.

Haec fabula docet etc. JAPANESE VICTORIES Albert S. Ashmead, M. D., formerly director of the Tokio Hospital, is of the opinion that the Japanese victories are a menace to the world; and, written communication to the Sunday Gazette on grounds for his opinion in a very earnest manner. Of the Japanese, he says: "They represent a white Indonesian invasion engrafted upon a Negroid soil, and the Negroid blood in the Japanese ancestral is proved by the frequent occurrence of black pigment spots on the flattened root of the nose of the common people, and by the fact that the five of which make up one of which every Mikado has blood, are of white Indonesian blood. The ruling white blood of Japan has been maintained in its imperfect measure of impurity by a social system of concubinage. The Mikado of Japan had two classes: the class-widest wife and twelve concubines, and the concubines are the mothers of possible new Mikados. The present Prince Imperial, the future Mikado, and the concubines are the mothers of died in for future pagen warriors for mother such a woman. The lower-class blood of the nation has more or less contaminated the higher-bred families, and it is this blacker blood the upper nation which has kept alive the upper class of the nation, we descend through the various social strata of the Japanese race the blacker they appear, until we reach the despised outcast, the curled-headed woman. With concubinage in the palace, one naturally would look for a low order of morality among the masses of womanhood; and we find such a morality a regular part of the social system, firmly and completely organized, in fact than in any other country of to-day. None the less are they idolators, in the broadest sense. The pagan temples crown every height and adorn every surface. The defeat of Russia by Japan means, as I have said, the Renaissance of paganism, full-armed and militant, throughout all Asia. This is not an alarmist exaggeration, but a true scientific exaggeration. In any way should assist in it, it is folly beyond words to describe it." We have quoted enough of Dr. Ashmead's article to give an idea of its scope and conclusion. And we are aware of his comparison of the Japanese idolatry with the Russian Christians will fall to the conviction upon the minds of many who have paid attention to the recent history of the two countries. The horrors of the crimes and deeds in Russia have suggested that idolatry which does not prevent a nation, from exercising a constant succession of commendable virtues may be a merely nominal Christianity which is merely an orgy of murder and outrage at which Moloch would blush. The time has passed by when a mere profession of Christianity vindicates the right of a people to the name of a Christian nation. THE YELOW AWAKENING Japan has securely established her rating as a great power and there are unmistakable indications that within a short time China will do the same thing. One of these indications is the sending of Chinese students to the imperial university of Japan. "Chinese students," says Mr. Anderson, our counsel at Amoy, "continue to reach Japan. We are clearing numbers. Scareer a stealer in our country, one hundred, and three or four hundred are always waiting at Shanghai for an opportunity to go." The recent Anglo-Japanese treaty requires Morro doctrine to Asia and puts an end to the neering in the East, thereby insuring quiet and stability to the Flowery Kingdom and the development of its industries, resources and internal importance. Some years since an American syndicate secured from the Chinese government a concession for the Canton-Hankow railroad and constructed thirty miles of the road. The Chinese government concession for $6,500,000, and have made the first payment of $2,000,000. The statement is made by one in authority that the Peking government attempted to make any kind of foreign war without liberation and deference to public opinion. Chinese propose to follow the lead of Japan by constructing their own railroads; and in due course of time, in many other respects. The waking up of 400,000,000 yellow people means a good deal. WE. THE PEOPLE We, the people of the United States, are not lacking in self-appreciation, and are ridiculously boastful when comparing our doings and our methods with those of other nations. We have a vast number of things we should just be proud, and equally so that we have many of which we should be ashamed. The first and worst of these is our racial prejudice, which has caused our so-called Christians to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men. In the list of bodehouses and offices of our eminent financiers, United States senators, state officers and legislators and officials of all classes. Another is our law in reference to naturalization. We allow felons and paupers, the scum and refuse of Europe to be dumped upon our shores and to be tortured to torture—to all intents and purposes, our rulers, provided they do not wist to use the papers in engaging in unlawful acts in the countries from which they came. The devices are almost obsolete, owing to the devices of shysters and petrifoggers who have relegated them to noxious desutide. And finally the Constitution of the United States imposes the law of the land, but has gone glimmering. NOTHING BUT KNOWNOTHING- ISM. it requires but cursory examination of the Maryland Poe amendment to discover that it is disguised "Knownothingism" of the most offensive type. I impowers the registration boards to dislodge any person not protected by the grandfather change who is unable to understand and give a "reasonable explanation" of any section of the state constitution read to him or by him. There are thousands of men of foreign birth and many of them of good education who cannot anything written in the English language. Several of the peace commissioners who recently met in Portsmouth could not do so. Moreover, the ablest lawyers do not answer as to what is a "reasonable explanation" of provisions of a constitution, even the constitution of the United States. Why should a voter be required to have superior qualifications to those of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court? And why should Gorman be acting goul with the old stinking corpse of Knownothingism? The Southern labor situation may be epitomized as follows: The Southern planter can not manage the Afro-American, he is afraid of the Italian, particularly since the late yellow fever and he does not care to work himself. PRESID President of All th PRESIDENT ident of All the People. T. E. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT Some years ago the aforesaid brother made a strenuous attempt to secure Germans.

The following is the program of the President's entertainment while at Tuskegee on October 24th, as applause will be made by the secretary to President Roosevelt. 1. To spend thirty minutes in the town of Tuskegee on the way to the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute. 2. On arriving at the school the President will be immediately taken to the school where the President will pass before him in a body and will be followed by an industrial and educational parade, consisting of floats, which will enable the President to see in a short time, the work of various departments of the institute. 3. While the students and guests are assembling in the chapel, the President will be driven hurriedly about the grounds so as to get a bird's-eye view of the same. 4. The president will then be taken to the chapel to listen to the singing of plantation songs by the students for a few minutes. 5. After the singing the President will be introduced for a speech. Owing to the shortness of the time, it is the plan to have no one speak except the President. A song will follow the President's address and the audience will be dismissed, while the President will be driven to the train. Defective Page THE CITY OF MAGNIFICENT DISTANCES. A Collection of Events Occurring Among Afro-Americans of the Capital of this Great and Glorious Nation for our Many Readers. Special Correspondence THE APPEAL Washington, Oct. 19. A case of far importance to the Afro-American of especially in Georgia, was argued in States Supreme Court last week. It appears that an Arro-American by the name of Henry Jamison, was arrested in March, 1904, by a police officer, and committed to the city prison on a chie- derly conduct. While in prison he was not as quiet as the officers desi- red, and another case was docketed against him. The following day, he was carried before the city recorder and was charged with a charge of way of accusation, information dictement, without the benefit of counsel or the attendance of his witnesses, and without a trial by jury or a judicial finding of guilt, was sentenced to thirty-five dollars or work one hundred dollars to the Bibb county chain gang. On the 17th of March, 1904, he presented to the Hon. Emory Speer, United States District Judge, his petition for habea corpus, alleging that his detention and work was violated by the violation of the rights guaranteed to him by the Constitution of the United States, in that he was deprived of his liberty and subjected to infamous punishment without due process of law. The man was discharged from custody and was sentenced to the preme Court of the United States. The case has been argued and the matter taken under advisement. Should the Court hold with the lower Court, it will involve the liberty of several Americans now held in the chain gang of Georgia, under like circumstances. Hon. Judson W. Lyons, Register of the United States Treasury, gave a stag reception last Saturday night in honor of Henry Lincoln Johnson Esq., a brilliant young lawyer of Atlanta, Ga. who is in the city looking after the United States Supreme Court. Before the guests included a number of the most prominent people in the city and a delightful time was had. Senator Cullem of Illinois stands by the president on the question of rail road regulation. Recently he said: "I am heartily with the President and with the proposition he urges so strenuously, before he espoused it. There can be valuable remedial legislation by the Congress." Prince Hall Lodge, No. 14, F. A. A. M., gave a banquet to the members of the lodge and their ladies at Odd Fellow's Hall, 1606 M street northwest. Saturday evening, in honor of the 157th birthday of Prince Hall, the first great master of colored Masons in England and H. Hunter was master of ceremonies. "Senator Cullom will be elected to succeed him, and when the time arrives for the legislature to meet I believe the Senator's name will be the only one presented for United States Senator," said Representative Rodenberg of the East St. Louis district, who served as the state faithful service and his standing in the Senate cannot be questioned. His record in the Senate is one the state has a right to be proud of, and the people of Illinois will not, to gratify the ambition of some politician, retire the senior Senator just because he has completed an honor he most useful term of twenty four years. * * * As a sample of the stuff the Democrats are giving out in the Maryland campaign, I quote a few sentences from an address delivered in Baltimore last Friday night by ex-Representative, who has represented a district of Delaware in the House of Representatives: "The colored race will always hear the 'call of the wild' above the call of civilization, and if left, to itself would within twenty years drift back to barbarianism and abandoning the pursuits of industry, will resort to cannibalism for its food supply. The banks of the river will be lighted by the camp fires of these people running a condition of savagery, and over those fires the flesh of human beings will be roasting, to supply these savages with food." "I am strongly of the opinion that when the time comes for the election of a United States Senator from Illinois, Senator Collum will be chosen his own successor without opposition." The senator is running in Washington, this week. All the implications point that way at present, and Cullums strength is growing daily. The people of Illinois are awake to the fact that he has served them with fidelity and conspicuous ability for service. He is a man of great ability, fairly his due. Not only does him continuance in office but his position and prestige give him the opportunity to render the state far more effective service than any new man, however competent, sould perform. The utilitarian men in Washington for a series of terms is a lesson that the whole country is beginning to learn. Everybody will observe with heart felt satisfaction and with a sense of peril passed that Charleston, S. C. has again consented to recognize the existence of the president of the United States. Mayor Rhett and former Mayor Jay Hare are the White House the other day and are attending an in the same room and at the table where Booker Washington was entertained. Both the Mayor and the former Mayor are Democrats and they were formerly hostile to the president when insisted on the appointment of Dr. W. D. Crum as collector of customs at Charlestown. Dr. W. B. Evans, principal of the Armstrong Manual Training School has been elected a member of the board of the Manassas Industrial Association. Theident of the Manassas school is Mr. O. G. Villard a grandson of W. O. Lloyd Garrison. The Keep committee is greatly converging its lines of inquiry into executive departments into a concrete scheme of organization which will reduce the expenditures of the govern- ment for performing the routine of its daily business. . . . A considerable increase of business in the office of the District recorder of dead stock for the quarter ended September 30, according to a statement made public by Recorder John C. Dancy. During period 4,783 instruments affecting real and personal property were filed for record, as against 4,080 during the last year, and 3,950 for the like items of 1903, an increase of 703 over last year and 833 over the year prior to that. And Public School Education in the South. To the Afro-American People in the Southern States. A great many questions relative to our progress as a race, it is important for us to consider and to keep bake us. One of the questions just now is how important is that of securing facilities for common school education of the masses of our children, especially in small towns and country districts. We have a large majority of our children will need these schools, the opportunity to receive any kind of opportunity except that they get between the ages of five and fourteen years and will never have opportunity to attend school than common public schools. And year in year in our Southland hardly more than one-third of Afro-American children five to nine years of age and hardly more than one-half from ten to fourteen years of age. According to the U. S. Census to have twelve schools a in 1900. Of any or all our children did attend school during that school year, over three-fifths attended less than six months. In many cases while the schools are open, parents are cared about seeing that their children should be remedied. I use these figures because they express compactly—though, of course, not exactly—a condition of utmost gravity. And re-reading the figures gives no hint of the squalor of no many schools and the incompetence of so many of our teachers. I wish, through this letter, to urge upon our ministers, teachers and leaders of whatever character, to put forth special and immediate effort to see to it that community are supported in each community are improved up to a higher standard of efficiency. If this is not done, so many thousands of our children will grow up in ignorance; however the reason be, the plain facts our people are not being provided with education in the public schools. I have recently heard of several communities where only $15 per month were appropriated from the public fund for the Afro-American school and the for-profit schools. We must face the fact that public schools in many sections are not being improved, and, in some parts of the South, they have gone backward. It is probable that the children of the facilities for their education in some places. n.t.i a mberoidei praureevorsylt? At the basis of our educational opportunities, I say, is the public school, the school, I say, is the make that school, the center of our make that activities. We should not fail to make prominent at all times and cling to the fundamental idea of the American common school—that all of the property of the State should educate all of the people. It is not merely the man who enters the tax office who really pays the taxes; the laborer, who pays one mill more to the pound for a commodity because of such a license tax, realizes that the tax is not payment. By close examination, I find that in many communities the small amount of money received for the public schools is in large degree wasted and dissipated by reason of denominational differences and wrangling. I know of one community that has three schools of weak character, when there should be only one and that one good. The Baptists have a school in another part, and the Zion Methodists a school in another part. The denominationalism has no place in public school education, and our people should crush that tendency to let denominationalism divide and overcome the public school. You should concentrate our efforts, wherever possible, preferring school to two or it. So poor ones. Our leaders should lay special emphasis upon the following points: 1. See to it that a good and efficient teacher is provided. If any qualification you have, it should not hinder moral character. The teacher may be weak in other matters, but if he is morally wholesome, he may greatly help the people. 2. The teacher cannot be kept in a community from year to year without a reasonably good salary. A poor salary may be a poor teacher in most cases, one who remains only a few months and then goes to some other place. A long run to pay a large salary for a good teacher than to pay a small salary for a poor teacher. 3. If the public school authorities do not provide a decent and comfortable school house, the people to stimulate them to do so has failed, the people in the school should tax themselves in order that a good, comfortable school house may be built. Some of the school houses in the city are built for cattle than for human beings. 4. We should get the public officers to provide for as long a school term as possible. But no people can be educated when the schools are in sessions only four or five months during the school year. We should not give the money that they throw away, especially during the fall of the year for whiskey, snuff, and cheap jewelry, they can with little difficulty add two or three months to the public school term. 5. Let us make up our minds that despite difficulties and many disadvantages, our children in every section of the South shall have a decent education. We should never cease to agitate in every locality for proper school facilities. If our children are not educated now, and their parents do not want them, will grow up in ignorance. I repeat, the entire race will suffer. Now is the time for ministers, teachers and parents to act quickly and vigorously, and we shall not regret the result. **Booker T.

Editor THE APPEAL: The one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison which occurs on Dec. 10, it seems to me is an event which should not only deeply stir and interest the colored people, but also which should not pass without proper recognition on the part of the white people. Steps are being taken by the colored people to have the event celebrated by members of their race throughout the country, but all of us now recognize the importance of the work of Mr. Garrison and his co-workers not only freed the black race, but was equally important in emancipating a large part of the white people of the United States. It is true, it will be conceded, that to Mr. Garrison and his workers we owe, in large part, the fact that we now have a united country. As the national, and even international character and value of Mr. Garrison's services are now so widely recognized, I cannot, as a member of the American community, from urging upon the public the importance of seeing that the celebration of his one hundredth anniversary shall be of such a character as to do credit to our entire community as an enjoyment by all of us are enjoying the fruits of Garrison's work, and we should not fail to keep before this and coming generations the heroic and far reaching nature of his services to mankind and the republic. "Our alm must be to deal justice to each man: no more and no less. This purpose must find its expression and support not merely in our collective action through the agencies of the government but in our social attitude."—President Roosevelt's speech at Richmond, Va., Wednesday. --- DOING THE MOST FOR OTHERS. Surest of All Ways to Bring Brightness Into Our Lives. Selfishness is darkness. It shuts us up in the tight little box of our own lives. Unselfishness gives us a wide circle of interest and delight. What we do for others has as much to do with our happiness as what we get for ourselves. Just think how many joys a man may have who is not confined to his own reasons for rejoicing! Remember how Jeanie Deans blessed the good lady who helped her, saying: "When the hour of trouble comes—and selldom may it visit your leddyship—and when the day of death comes, that comes to high and low—lang and late may it be yours, O my lady! then what we have done for ourselves—that we have done for others, that we think of most please anty." And this truth is for all hours, though it be most clearly manifested in the hour of extremity. Doing the most for others is doing the best for ourselves. If you have never made another life bright, you know not how much brightness can come into your own—Montreal Herald. NEAT AND PRETTY COMPLIMENT. Englishman's Tribute to Genius of Scottish Divine. A tribute which was at the same time both gratifying and clever was once paid to the genius of Dr. Hugh Blair, the famous Scottish divine and author. Dr. Blair had collected a considerable party, to meet an English clergyman at dinner. A Scotchman present, proud of the doctor's fame, indiscreetly asked the stranger what was thought of "the sermons" by his professional brethren. To his horror, and to the mortification of Mrs. Blair, the Englishman answered: "Why, they are not partial to them at all." "How so?" faltered the querist; "how could that be?" "Why," replied the southron, "because they're too much read, and so generally known that they can't borrow from them." The whole company, hitherto in a state of embarrassment, were, at this ingenious compliment put at their ease once more. Wide Responsibility in China Wife Responsibility in China. In China the whole family is held responsible for the acts of any of its members and for certain offences, such as an attempt on the life of the emperor, all are executed, even to the babe in arms. The teapom, or dean of the village, elected by universal damage, is responsible for the conduct of the subfecte, cultivated of his domain. The subfecte, prefect, governor and vicier are all responsible in different degrees. An inundation and a famine are laid at the door of the governor or the vicier, who are "father and mother to the people." About thirty years ago a mandarin was murdered by soldiers. As a result thirty-three functionaries — prefect, subfectes and superintendents — were declared responsible and beheaded and the governor and treasurer of the province were exiled.

PAUL. Telephone 106-747-8 --- CASUALTIES IN MODERN TIMES COMPARATIVELY FEW. Battles of To-day Fought at Greater Distances and With More Humane Weapons—Interesting facts of Some Great Conflicts. In the annals of the American Academy Gen. T. H. Bliss, discussing the important elements in modern land combat, arrives at the conclusion that the tendency of modern warfare is to become less deadly. He gives a table of the principal battles fought from the beginning of the Seventh Years' War, in the eighteenth century, up to and including the battle of Mukden, in the twentieth. He summarizes the results as follows: In the twelve principal battles of the Seven Years' War the average losses were—victors 14 per cent, defeated 10 per cent. During the Napoleonic epoch an average of twenty-two battles gives victors 12 per cent loss, defeated 10 per cent. The average loss in four principal battles of the Crimea was for the victors 10 per cent, for the defeated 17 per cent. The average of four principal actions in the Franco-Austrian war of 1859 gives for the victors 8 per cent loss, for the defeated 8.5 per cent. In twelve principal battles of the civil war the losses of the Union Army amounted to 19.7 per cent and of the confederate armies to 19.6 per cent. The average of six principal actions in the Austro-Prussian war of 1866 gives for the victors 7 per cent, for the defeated 9 per cent. The average of eight actions of the first period of the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 gives for the victors 10 per cent for the defeated 9 per cent. The average of three principal actions in the second period of the Franco-German war gives for the victors 2.5 per cent for the defeated 3.5 per cent. In fourteen battles in the Russo-Japanese war (excluding the siege of Port Arthur) the average loss for the Russians 9.5 per cent, for the Japanese 4.6 per cent. From these suggestions he concludes that there is a steady tendency to decrease in the battle percentage of loss. This diminution in the dead illness of war is traced (1) to the gradual disappearance of the individual duel. In ancient battles no man played his part properly unless he made a hit on the body of his antagonist. In modern battle it requires the combined efforts of many men through a long day's fight to make a hit upon the body of one antagonist. He notes (2) that there is a tendency in increasing concentration of energy on the battle field, as shown by increased number of combatants, and this increase in concentration is one of the causes of decrease in loss. It was the dispersion of the combatants over a vast extent of country that made the American civil war so much more sanguinary. (3) Modern wounds are more frequently healed. The modern bullet is humane. (4) The old firearm at close range, against close formation was naturally more deadly than the more rapidly fired gun of to-day discharged at a great distance against extended formation. (5) In old battles, as at Waterloo, only a mile parted Wellington from Napoleon. Defeat meant immediate pursuit and greater loss. Now, at Mukden, the opposing commanders were from twenty-five to thirty miles apart, and before the reserves of the victors could begin parish suit the vanquished could arrange a fairly orderly retreat. (6) Formations are now adapted to the enemy's weapons. Scherzo When the down is on the chin and the gold-girl is on the hair. When the two girls their sweets win And champagne is in the air. Love is here, and Love is there. Love is welcome everywhere. Summer's chick too soon turns thin, Days grow briefer, sunshine rare; Autumn from his cannockin' Despair; Love is met with frosty stare; Can not house 'neath branches bare. When new red is in the rose And new life is in the leaf. Though Love's Maytime be as brief as a dragonfly's repose; There never will be those, those, those. Do they Heaven or Hell, who knows? All too soon comes Winter's grief. Spendthrift Love's false friends turn foes; Time to say Goodbye, it shows. —James Russell Lowell. A Prophet and Paul Jones. In Fenimore Cooper's novel called "The Pilot" the hero says: "The truth must be finally known, and when that hour shall come, they will say, he was a faithful and gallant warrior in his day; and a worthy lesson for all who are born in slavery, but would live in freedom, shall be found in his example." The Pilot was published in 1823. In 1905 the remains of Paul Jones were transferred from France to the land of his adoption, where they now await formal interment. Fenimore Cooper seems to have been farseeing. Tom Thumb's Widow Countess Magri, the widow of Gen. Tom Thumb, is about to begin, at the age of 65, to study the planofore.

The London Daily Mall, noticing the claim of certain English descendants to New York property said to have been bought by one Robert Edwards about a century ago, says the property was "the plot of land on which Broadway, New York, now stands." Japanese Not Insulting A woman asked a London magistrate for a summons against another woman for calling her a Japanese.

THOUGHT IT WAS HUBBY'S HAT. Wife's Hasty Action the Cause of Much Tribulation. Charles Bloomingdale, the novelist, was relating some of the pleasant green room gossip for which he is renowned. "There is one actor," he said, "whose wife has a mania for making waste baskets out of silk hats. It is impossible for this man ever to have a second-best tile—a tile for stormy days and traveling—for no sooner does he bring a new one home than his wife turns the old one into a dainty waste basket confection with a pale blue lining and baby ribbon rosettes. "The lady came downstairs one morning rather early. Her husband still slept. As she passed through the hall she perceived on the table a very shiabby hat, while on the rack a hat brilliant and handsome hung. "Aha! she said, 'James has bought a new tile. Well, it was time. I will confiscate this shiabby old thing." "And with it she retired to her sewing room. It was the work of a moment there to snip off the brim, tear out the shabby white lining and insert a new lavender one, tack on two lavender loops for handles, and—" "But loud, hurried, scuffing noises were now to be heard downstairs, and a maid hastened in, breathless, vexed. "Oh, madam," she said, 'the piano tuner is in a dreadful temper. He says he can't find his silk hat nowères. And he left it in the hall, he says." KURDS QUICK TO GIVE BATTLE. Ready' Fighting Follows Attempted Theft of Sheep. Col. P. H. H. Massy tells of this battle which he witnessed in the course of his explorations in Asiatic Turkey. The cause of the fight was an attempted theft of sheep. He says: "Some flocks were being driven off across the Sipkanli Kurds' border when the usual alarm signals, shots fired and smoke fires kindled at all the villages around, brought clouds of horsemen galloping wildly across in that direction. This did not look very reassuring in the middle of so wild a country, where a human life is never worth that of a good sheep, but we soon perceived, by the yelling Kurds with grinning faces who dashed past us, that to us no harm was intended. "We reached the village not far from which the battle was raging to find the flat roofs occupied by all the women. Quite regardless of stray bullets they followed the fluctuating fortunes of their side amid the din of their own shrill tongues, which almost drowned the thunderning reports of the Kurdish powder, anything but noiseless or smokeless. "It was soon over. The flocks were triumphantly brought back, together with the bodies of a few dead Kurds and some others wounded. We passed on amid the walling of the women just widowed in a fight for a few sheep." Bridge Whist an Absorbing Game Bridge Whist an Assuring Game. The following is being told "on" a Kansas City couple, whose marriage was announced recently. The young man persuaded the girl to marry him while they were in another town on an excursion trip. They came home and for two weeks told no one of their secret. One night they were playing bridge whist with the girl's parents. They had decided to spring their surprise that night, and the young man was trying all through the game to get up nerve enough to do so. Finally he screwed his courage up. In the middle of a hand he turned to the girl's father and said: "Ive something to tell you. Grace and I were married three weeks ago." A look of anger spread over the father's face. Glaring across the board at the girl's mother, he said: "Hang it, Hattie! What made you lead that ace? You've lost us another trick."—Kansas City Times. Manifestly Impossible It is notorious that French juries—aye, and French judges, too—are not wholly indifferent to feminine charms. But really the latest story on this subject seems a little "steep." The story is that a young and lovely actress declined to take a part in a "curtain-raiser," and was consequently sued for breach of contract. Her counsel had a brilliant idea. He pointed to the slender figure of the charming defendant, and asked how any manager could be so brutal as to order this delicate lady de lever le rideau—to work the machinery of a heavy theater curtail! And, without the slightest hesitation the court decided to give her a verdict with costs—London Sketch. Methods of British Fruit Growers. British fruit growers are meeting foreign competition by new methods. It has been discovered that the yield of the small trees can be increased by growing in pots under glass. Irrigation on a large scale by means of wells, gas-driven pumps and an extensive distribution of hose piping is also being employed. The old round boxes which the purchaser of fruit had to return to the seller are being discarded for lighter receptacles which need not be returned. It is said that some of the richest mines in the world depend entirely upon water transported in tank-cars. The Copper Queen runs its smelters and machinery chiefly by water thus obtained. The famous Sierra Mojada, with a population of 5,000 people, has not a drop of water except that brought in tanks a distance of 125 miles. Both of these holes in the dry ground have yielded millions in dry ground. Big British Battleship. The building of the new British battleship Dreadnaught, which is to be the most powerful warship afloat, was begun on Oct. 2 at Plymouth, and she is to be ready for sea in sixteen months. She will be of 18,000 tons, will carry ten 12-inch guns and will be fitted with turbine engines. Kansas Jails Are Vacant.
