DEER'S RACE WAS FATAL THE EPIGRAM IN HISTORY FROM ACROSS THE SEA FOUND GREAT SALT LAKE IN AN AFRICAN FOREST VOL. 22. NO. 8. East Boston admits it is a suburb, but denies that it is in the class with Lonesomehurst and Swampyville, says the Boston Journal. Yet when a deer from the forest walks unmoilested and bold down its main street, its claims as a component part of the town make it. It was about 6:30 yesterday morning that a little brown deer came out on Meridian street, having made his way across vacant lots from the Lynn woods, and gazed in wonder at the buildings and the works of man. Suddenly there was a hoarse clang behind him, and a huge tunnel car tore over upon him. Terrified, the deer sprang forward, and it became a race between the animal and the which he bought was chasing him. The deer island was covered in a few moments and the victorious deer, his little heart jumping with terror, sped straight down to the sea, to where a South Ferry boat lay at the slip. Right through the ferryboat sped the deer, and then, with a mighty An epigram, in its primary signification, was nothing more nor less than an inscription, writes Edmund Gosse in Harper's Magazine. It was "something written" to mark a form or an event; it was the form of words attached to an altar, or a monument, or an image, to show whose image or monument, or alter it. It was. If you presented an epigram on a bark, or pinned an epigram on the bark to announce that fact: if you presented to a friend an amethyst cup engraved with a figure of Bachus, you embodied in an epigram your sentiments. It is a mistake to suppose that these pieces were in their first inception satirical, but the Romans made them so, and, as time went on, the trick of writing them, in Latin as well as in writing, involved an attention to concealment. The matist tried to fill his little glass as full as possible, and there were bubbles of malce around the brim. Gradually the idea grew that an epigram ought to finish with a snap; that the very end of the last line ought to A new Ashanti war is inevitable in Africa, according to a German provincial paper, the Chemitizer Allgemeine Zeitung, which publishes the following communication, dating from Tarkwa, near Sekondi, on the British Gold Coast: "The Ashanti have long been possessors of a massive golden throne of great value and accounted a sacred apd national relic. According to the tradition of the tribe the kingdom of Ashanti would remain in existence as long as the throne remained intact. The British have for many years been attempting to gain possession of the throne, but it has been unsuccessful. Several years ago a certain placed himself in communication with the British government and offered to obtain possession of the throne for the English on condition that he himself was nominated king of the Ashanti. The British government agreed to the proposal and appointed the traitor as chieftain.

The greatest fur hunter and the greatest pathfinder of them all, and possessing the most intimate knowledge of the Indian nature ever vouchsafed a white man, Bridger will grow in stature as time goes on and accurate history is written. No part of the great Rocky Mountain country held a secret from Jim Bridger. He was the first white man, after John Colter, to view the wonders of Yellowstone Park, and the first to look on Great Salt Lake. Seemingly bearing a charmed life, he wandered through the lands of many Indian tribes, sometimes fighting the red men, but more often living their lives in the wilderness and brotherhood at the lodge fire. Every mountain Jim Bridger climbed, every stream he crossed, and every game An explorer describes a Central Africa forest: "Ten miles west of the lake begins the only piece of real virgin forest met with. It is throughout a dense virgin forest, and almost impenetrable. It consists of very large trees of many varieties. The upper parts are festooned with a light grayish-green moss, hanging in long streamers, and giving to the forest a very fantastic appearance. When these long streamers are agitated by a storm they make the whole forest seen from one of the hills near, look like a sea. Again, when the sun is vertical the whole forest appears dark, but when the sun is low the general effect on the sunny side is curiously light.

Baker, of the tug Francis C. Hersey, which was passing. He put his tug about and pursued the deer, which was having a hard time in the water. The little animal jumped into the ponds, but the salt choked him and the animal ered him. He swam fast, but the tug came faster, and ran alongside of the struggling animal. This was a greater terror, this huge monster, which was swimming alongside to devour him. The deer tried to get away, but the sailors secured him with ropes and swung him on board the tug, where he lay panting. The men tried to restore the little creature, between its terror and the salt water he had swallowed, and the sailors before they reached Commercial wharf. The deer welched but seventy-five pounds.

A French witch, La Monnoye, would scarcely have been a cavalryman dismounted. But large proportion of the Elizabethan and Jacobaean epigrames were beggars on horseback, who, if they had been turned off their rhyme, would have been beggars—and nothing the.

The British government, in order to preserve its own prestige, refuses to concede the demand of the natives, so that a new Ashanti war is inevitable. Andrew Lang writes of the Australian natives: "Between tribe and tribe war for purposes of territorial aggrandizement is unknown. They may fight about women, or in the blood feud, for, as nobody is supposed to die a natural death, every death is thought to be caused by hostility waged, but they are now resumably waged, but they are drawn first blood, as a rule; and, as they conquests, there are no slaves and very little material progress. There are no hereditary chiefs, though among some socially advanced tribes a kind of magistracy, or a 'modern' atorship of local groups in the tribal general assembly, is hereditary in the male line." trail he followed, was written down in the most marvelous memory ever granted a plainsman. As a result, years later, when the white men, bold but blundering, sought the easiest paths over the mountains, Jim Bridger showed them the best trails for their wagons and, when the men were walking, the soldier had well-behaved given up of hopping his hails across the Divide, it was Jim Bridger who showed an available pass which he had traversed years before in his trapping days, and the existence of which no other white man knew. A few months ago, this chief engineer, Gen. Granville M.

Between the stems is a dense tangled mass of lesser vegetation. The forest stands to a great extent in the water and mud of the swamp. A singular feature of it is the abruptness with which it begins and ceases on the plain. The grassy swamp or open country reaches to the mighty wall of trees, which continue in the same density from one side to the other, forming a transition from the open plain to the forest.

When the newly organized United States of America decided that a larger and more efficient navy was 'necessary, and it was decided to build vessels of a size that would compare with those of her principal enemy, Great Britain, Capt.

If a man has a small amount to deposit, with the expectation of being able to add to it from time to time, he will be at a loss to find a bank that will be willing to take care of his apparently insignificant sums and pay him interest on the money that is thus gradually made. As a matter of fact, there are only about two places in the entire city that will show any interest in his small savings, one of these being a little bank for working people, which was organized a couple of years ago, and the other place being the Monte de la Piedad, which receives deposits of any amount and pays 6 per cent interest per annum on them. The little savings bank has had a hard struggle to maintain itself. It is a noticeable fact that the question has few Mexican working people as depositors, most of its patrons being Spanishists who are working for wages as grocery clerks and bookkeepers—Mexican Herald. Easier to Run Than to Stop Easier to Run Than to Stop. Quite a number of years ago there lived in Bennington, Vt., several wealthy gentlemen who weighed over 250 pounds each.

This train comprised an engine, tender, four "carriages," for one can hardly call them cars in truth, and two coaches. Railroading was in its infancy and the cars for freight were simply what they appear, stout wagons on wheels, and the passenger part of the train was simply coaches on wheels.

How well these men MODEL OWNED UNCHING OF THE CONSTITUT performed the work allotted to them can be judged from the fact that the Constitution still remains afloat after more than 100 years. The threat of Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte to destroy or get rid of the famous vessel is not the first that was made. A similar threat was made after the Constitution had captured the Cyane and the Levant in September, 1830. A storm of protest was immediately raised all over the country, and Oliver Wendell Holmes voiced the protest in his famous poem, "Old Iron-sides." All this time and for years after the model of the Constitution hung on the walls of the office in Hart's yard, and remained there unnoticed, and unhonored by the subsequent owners of the them proposed that they organize a lazy man's club, and that no man weighing less than 250 pounds could join it.

Ayres was "seen going down a small hill adjacent to the village in a sort of shuffling trot. He was complained of by another member, arrested, arraigned and promptly "tried."

It appears that Mr. Rogers had given the matter of railroad transportation considerable study, but it is not surprising that he had no adequate conception of the possibilities of the railroading of the distant future, say of today. This can be seen from casual statements here and there. For instance, he says in passing: "It may not be presumption to anticipate the time, not far distant, when persons and merchandise may be converged to the agency of steam and yard until the present owner got possession of it, and began to tear down the building preparatory to erecting the modern storehouses on the property.

It was given to a man who carried it off to break up, but he thinking to realize a desire for stimulant, tried in vain to sell it in several shops, or, at least, brought it to the shoppers, at Cap. Nickerson, who gave him a half dollar for it. It was not until he heard the story of where it was found that even Cap. Nickerson recognized the model of the famous warship. With patience he cleared away the dust of years from it, and restored the model to its ancient likeness.

Mrs. John Jacob Astor Will Reduce New York's Fashionables. Some of the prominent members of New York's "400" are not to be invited to the ball which is to be held at the historic old Astor house, New York, some time in April, thus setting a new precedent in metropolitan social circles the second hard blow that Gotham has received this season. Mrs. John Jacob Astor time ago having reduced the social scale to seventy-nine. This time the mercury of social supremacy will fall even lower, for but few members of the recognized leaders of society will be invited to this ball—an affair that will be the greatest and most fashionable of its kind in the history of New York. The ballroom of the Astor house, which is now used as a dining room, has been establishing history. It was here that Prince Charles of the court of France was entertained about the year 1840, or shortly after the house was built.

In 1827 such a statement doubledless was received in an incredulous spirit by many, and yet what an under-state-ment-of possibilities it was, for now the modern passenger train runs from Baltimore to the "Ohio river," that is, from Baltimore to Pittsburg, in about ten hours, the distance being 342 miles. Trains also run from Baltimore to Parkersburg, a distance of 398 miles, in a little over twelve hours. So, generally speaking, passenger trains run three times faster than it was believed possible in 1827. --- HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

AN OLDTIME COLLEGE BOY AID FOR DEPENDENT WOMEN --- AUTO HAS A FASCINATION GOV. GOODELL SCARED THEM NEVER YOU MIND, MY DEAR Very quaint are some of the letters addressed by George Foergerli, a student at Oxford, England, to his parents, nearly two centuries ago. The following is from a letter dated Jan. 21, 1722: "When I consider your circumstances I cannot desire you to send so much, and I believe less would serve till midsummer, and it would perhaps stricken you to send 10 pounds to send me a little money, but I believe I could in some things lay it out as well as my tutor, when I want, I had rather not have to go to him.

In 1723 he was admitted a "servitor," which carried an income of £40 (with it, but "the holder had to wait upon the gentlemen commoners at meal times, carry in their commons from the kitchen and their bread and A veritable "old maids' paradise" is located in Squituate. That ancient South Shore town bears the distinction of possessing a fund of which the proceeds are devoted to the care of dependent maiden women. So far as the Squituate Selectmen know there is not a life fund under the supervision of a town anywhere in the state. More than a quarter of a century ago Miss Eliza Jenkins decided that women approaching the sere and yellow leaf of life, who had, like her, remained single from choice or otherwise, should be provided for when they are married and upon themselves. The idea of an old folk's home in Squituate was at that time entirely out of the question. Miss Jenkins straightway did the next best thing and left a fund of $3,000, the interest of which is yearly distributed among the worthy maidens of the town. The Jenkins fund has always been in charge of the Selectmen. In the last few years they have placed about $20 "You'll never find me standing on the curbstone and shouting, 'Git a horse!' You'll never find me scattering carpet tacks in the roadway. You'll never see me wrinkling up my rose and saying, 'Pue!'

New Hampshire's temperance governor began his administration by a public proclamation, warning the liquor dealers of his intention to enforce the laws against the illegal sale of intoxicants. Then he discovered, while New Hampshire was a prohibition state, that no legal tools at hand, in the shape of administrative laws, by which the governor "could prohibit"; but the rummseller did not know this, as the ex-governor recently explained to the writer.

As servitor he had also to call up three commoners' to early chapel, at 6 a. m., who were willing to pay extra for the service, and by this means he earned another 25 ($25) a year. Feb. 2, 1723 he writes: "I humbly beg and entreat you not to think much if I should desire you to send 7 or 8 pounds, or 6, if you cannot well spare more, for my tutor, and what you can well spare more for myself, I hope you will not think it unreasonable if I should desire a guinea this time, since I laid out 4 shillings for an Horace out of my half one last time, and would not, therefore, have much left for this long winter. But if you will be pleased to send what you can spare to my tutor, I will endeavor to make some shift or other." There are many passages like the following: God will send some means to effect whatever He sees necessary, I have just had an instance of His providential care since I had wrote a great part of this letter, which I am the more joyful, the more thankful for, as I know my joy will be the joy of you all.

This odd fund has benefited persons in Schultze for so many years that the townpeople have come to regard it as a very common institution; it is available only for native born women, and this is about the only restriction its donor made. Many a person has been helped in the last twenty-five years to pay off a mortgage, buy fuel for the winter months or purchase seeds for the spring planting through this fund. The Selectmen know pretty nearly every one in the town, and it is comparatively easy for them to discriminate between the worthy and unworthy.

She is now in position to place in the field a modern army of 200,000 men, and the number is rapidly increasing. China has a possible way to put a stop to the aggressions of the nations, humorously described as Christian nations. For centuries these nations have indulged, without check or limit, in atrocties, stealing, plunderings and murders that would disgrace the most cruel savages. And even at the present moment such monsters as old king Leopold of Belgium, an undergarreder disgregated for all the teachings of the Church, are practicing a code of morals lower than that of the South Sea cannibals. It is time that there should be a change and the above is a hopeful indication that the change will shortly be made. The only remedy for such manoeuvres is to force the enemy to abuture force by force. We are glad to see that the yellow man has learned the lesson of self defence against the plundering hordes which have heretofore had no check upon their greed and cruelty.

Vardan man or Tommy Dixon or other statesmen of like mind, and the situation and the characters have changed and now it is the Northern white woman who is afraid to leave home not for fear of the "burly" Negro, but on account of doings of disreputable members of the highly civilized Chicago, Mr. Collins, Chief of Police, tells the women that they must stay at home and the Chronicle advises the women to carry a gun loaded with ammunition to squirt in the face of an assailant or irritants to "soak" him in the suggestion he will be for the women for the civilized Chicago and migrate to some civilized country, say China or Japan The Atlanta Constitution says: Mayor Sheilverton, of Austell, Ga. has set a worthy example to other mayors and county officials of Georgia in the summary manner in which he imposes immigration agent plying his vocation. The agent was given a twenty-minute ultimatum of leaving town or going to jail. He chose the former alternative, leaving undisturbed the laborers he had planned to toll away from the city. It is somewhat significant that the Constitution leaves its readers in ignorance as to what race these laborers belonged, probably for the reason that it knew that there would be no trouble in guessing. But the incident shows that the laborers belonged to the Constitution of the United States. The agent was doing a perfectly legitimate business, within the limits of that Constitution and the laborers are guaranteed, by the same document, to seek employment. But the laborers are not entitled States amount to in the eyes of so important a functionary as the mayor of Austell? Eugene Deba makes a good point in some of his speeches when he calls attention to the fact that the man who owns the machinery makes from 75 cents of the profit, while the operator makes from 10 to 25 cents. Afro-Americans have been for a long time more operators, while the white man has owned the machinery. But there are a few indications that the Afro-American is making some effort to acquire the machinery, for example from the Criterion, Geo. W., and Dorssey P. Bragg have opened a steam laundry in Richmond, Va., run by steam and operated by Afro-Americans at about $23,250. Their plant is valued at about $23,250. They work done in the city—they can do up a shirt in 5 minutes—and they have all the work they can do. Professors Foster and Smith of Chicago University, from the standpoint of the "higher criticism" have attacked the Bible, but with very little success, because the common people do not understand their arguments. Plain folks know but little and care less of the higher criticism. Now these learner professors will tell the Bible by showing what kind of practices are in vogue among the people and nations who profess to be guided by its principles, as for instance the doings of his most Christian Majesty Leopold in the Congo Free State, or the oppression of Afro-Americans by the United States. In contrast, they will produce an argument that the common people can understand, and it will perhaps produce some effect. Mr. Stuyvesant Fish is perfectly right in condemning men who are directors in too many corporations, and in too many score corporations it is very evident that they are using him merely as a decoy duck and that he has no intention of attempting to pay any special fee. He can be merely a dummy director and of no benefit whatever to the stock holders. He cares nothing for their interests and affords them no protections. He not a director but merely a figure head. MRS, FANNIE B. WILLIAMS. Noted Afro-American Writer. A bill has been introduced in the Kentucky legislature prohibiting the production of "any play that is based upon antagonism alleged formerly to exist between master and slave or that excites race prejudice." The real object is to shut out Uncle Tom's Catin and similar productions. Kentucky will willingly dispense with the Clansman in order to get rd of Uncle Tom's Catin. If Tom Dixon should go South and start a scheme to take away the Afro-Americans he is so anxious to remove he would get a warm reception. In Georgia. Tom would have to pay a license fee of $500 in every county in Georgia, and the Georgia clansman agent, for such is the law of the state. And besides the Georgia clansman would do him up in great shape. The fifteenth annual Tuskegee Conference was held at Tuskegee Ala. this week and largely attended. These conferences are of great benefit to the race. The Chicago Inter-Ocean has a long ecology of Benjamin Franklin in which his most notable characteristic, being a stalwart abolitionist, is omitted. J. B. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Principal Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. 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, Feb. 21st—Last week was Booker Washington week in this city and the distinguished educator who was much attention during his stay in Manassas. Wednesday night he delivered an excellent address full of good advice, at the meeting held in the interest of the Manassas Industrial School, at the First Congregational Church which was crowded the people of both races, who were anxious to hear the Sage of Tuxekee. Thursday afternoon Dr. Washington was the guest of honor at a swell lunchon given by Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Horne; at their palatial residence on 18th street, and attended by twenty of leading Afro-American citizens. Wednesday afternoon Dr. Washington was one of the guests of the Bowl and Cencil Club at their celebration of the eighty-ninth anniversary of the birth of Frederick Douglass. Wednesday afternoon Dr. Washington accompanied the pupils of the Manassas school when they visited the President. Tuesday evening evening to 200 members of the Washington Business League welcomed Dr. Washington at a banquet given in his honor at True Reformer's Hall. The president of the local league, Mr. J. A. Lankford, introduced members who responded to the following toasts: "Photography as a Business," Mr. and Mr. Freeman, "Insurance A. Collins: 'Dry Goods and Nations.' Mr. M. T. Mossell; 'Contracting and building.' Mr. Joseph Manning; "Drug Stores." Dr. Amanda V. Gray, proprietor of the Fountain Pharmacy. Eleven of the 100 drug stores in the city are owned by Afro-Americans. James A. Cobb of the District bar instituted the Washington, who complimented the organization on its progress and urged the development and support of the smaller business operations here. Hom. W. D. Crum collector of the Port of Charleston and Lawyer A. B. Cosey of Newark. N. J. were in Washington this week. The President said to the delegation from Mamassas school. "The white man needs just as much as the colored man to learn that for average man the education that fits him works in life is industrial. Other things shall be added to it or ought to be added to it, but that must remain as the basis. It has been decided that the next meeting of the National Afro-American Council will be held in Charlotte, N. C. in August. "It is a long way," said Mr. Washington, "from the battle of Manassas to the establishment of an Afro-American industrial school on that famous battlefield, yet the distance has been traveled, and we are assembled here tonight to do what we can to promote the Afro-American institution. There are some very vital practical reasons why the citizens of Washington should be deeply interested in this school. It is near this city and is doing good practical work. It has the advantage of being located in the slums and crowded alleys and I repeat here what I have other occasions that any influence that will take the youths of our race from the slums and crowded alleys of our large cities to such localities and teach them to live in the midst of wholesome surroundings in an agricultural community. This is what the Manassas school is aiming to do, and will, in proportion as you will furnish the means, do it on a larger scale. In too many cases the Afro-American is at his worst in the crowded life of a large city, and in the rural districts where he owns and cultivates the soil." This city, the speaker said, has the largest Afro-American population of any municipality in the Union and has an imperative duty to lifting the race to the point of "investigation," he continued, "shows that Tuskegee students command an average wage that is three times as large as that which they earned before receiving any training at the Tuskegee Institute. That is, expressed in dollars as three times as much value in place three times as much value upon the services of an educated Afro-American as they place upon the services of an uneducated one. There are 18,751,578 horses in the United States, valued at $1,510,889,906, according to a statement of the numbers and values of farm animals by the Bureau of Statistics of the Agricultural Department there are 3,404,361 mules, valued at $343,680,520; 19,793,886 milch cows, valued at $328,738,592; 50,651,619 sheep, worth $79,056,144; 21,102,847 hogs, valued at $321,802,571. The committee on claims has made a favorable report on the claim by the family of Samuel Lee, an Afro-American for $10,000. Lee who is now dead returned to the forty-sixth congress from North Carolina but was prevented from taking his seat by filibustering. Senator Cullom will return from St. Augustine, Fla. the latter part of this week, greatly improved in health. Congressman Heilin of Alabama, notorious because of his desire to have President Roosevelt and Booker Washington blown up by a bomb, has introduced a bill providing for separate Pullman cars for Afro-Americans. The will never get out of the committee but will get a huge cheap noir among the red necks of his district. D. H. W. GOOD DONE BY THE CHILDLESS. Many Examples of Unsafeff Lives of Bachelors and Virgins. There are parts of the world where girl babies are drowned like superfluous kittens, and others in which it is not uncommon for the daughters in families of the poor to be sold by their parents into lives of prostitution. On the other hand, the pages of history are filled with examples of the devoted lives of childless men and women who have worked unselfishly for the good of their kind. Bachelors and virgins have been the saints of the world, and the childless are the philanthropists, the founders of colleges, hospitals, art collections, and libraries, the philosophers, the great writers, leaders and thinkers of the race. Plato, Joan of Arc, Savonarola, George Washington, David Hume, Locke, Spinoza, Thomas Caryl, Florence Nightingale. Ruskin and Herbert Spencer are only a few of the great volume in this class. An interesting volume could be written on the indebentness of the world to childless men and women. The pattern of life picture with twelve unclepten children and a jaded, careworn wife has been held up for our admiration long enough. Without deceiving matrionym we may now speak a good word for the respectable cellate—New York Medical Journal. DOVE OF PEACE TOOK FLIGHT Time Not Ripe for Even Declaration of a Truce. The late Judge Hill of Sandwich, N. H., used to tell the following story: There were two old men living in Carroll county who had been bitter enemies for many years. As the years rolled by, time had a softening effect, on one of them, and he took occasion to do a generous thing for his enemy. Filled with the consciousness of having done a kindness to his toe, he called on him and related the circumference added: "After all, Mr. Blank, I am not the worst man in the world, am I?" Mr. Blank sat in gloomy silence during the narrative, and then, looking surily at him, replied: "You may not be the worst man ever was, but you are the worst that I ever saw." The white wings of peace were not there that time. Love and the Fan. Probably the first European women to use fans were the Portuguese, perhaps introduced by merchants from their trade with Japan, though we find mention of their having thea in the fourteenth century. In France the inventory of Charles V, at the end of the sixteenth century, a living fan fox. Doulless the wicked Catherine de Medici, with her knowledge of and love of the luxuries of Italy, introduced fans to her sisters in France. The many wives of Henry VIII of England, and their court ladies, were used to holding fans, and Queen Elizabeth had as many as went-seven in her elaborate wardrobe. Fans grew into elaborate costumes, and fans from France and Spain. A regular code of signals were arranged, so ladies and their admirers were able to carry on a regular flirting. Martin Luther's Wedding Ring. Martin Luther's wedding ring was discovered in 1829 in a secondhand shop in Geneva by Mme. Michael Girod, and is now at Waldenberg. It is made of silver gilt, and is believed to have been designed by the celebrated painter and goldsmith, Lucas Cranech, and probably was wrought with his own hands, for he was one of the three men selected by Luther as witnesses of his marriage. The design is complicated and includes the several symbols of the Fassion. In the center is a figure of the crucified Savior; on one side is the poor man's head, and on the other side the head is placed on the other side used as the crucifixion. There is a leaf of hysop, the dice with which the soldiers cast lots for the garments, three nails, a crown of thorns and other symbols connected with the last act of the Atonement, so grouped as to form a cross with a tiny ruby at the joint, which represents a drop of blood. It is inscribed "D. Martino Luthero—Catharine Boren, 13 June, 1583." **expert Japanese Smokers.** According to accounts the Japanese are experts in smoke rings and in Japan are able to blow three rings of smoke in succession, the second traveling through the first and third through both. Some stage performers become so expert in smoke-blowing that they are not only able to multiply the number of rings thus formed, but actually form Japanese characters representing words like "sugar" and "sugger," it is declared proposed to his wife by forming the characters representing his aweval of love through a thin stream of smoke. **Festival at Bonn.** A three days' festival is to be held in Bonn, where Schumann, the composer, is buried, and near which is the asylum where he ended his days.

Shaffer came to St. Paul last week for the ostensible purpose of settling the internal troubles of St. James' A. M. E. Church, and it was confidently hoped that the troubles would be settled. Tuesday the St. Paul Dispatch published an article which purported to be the basis of settlement which had been agreed to, but it seems that the published state of affairs was not the same with what the people had supposed was the basis that a settlement seems now as far distant as it was before the Bishop came, so the end is not yet. Mr. Owen Howell, the manager of the Valet Tailoring Co. No. 156 E. Sixth street, has branched out again. He has secured the room next door to his shop and has fitted up one of the nicest sort of smoking parlor to be found in the city. There is a handmade handsomely furnished back parlor or den for lovers of the weed. The tailor shop and the cigar parlor are connected by a large archway. Both places are beautifully painted, papered and decorated. In short it is just the sweltest place in town. He invites the public generally with a camel coat, a stock of cookies and a tobacco and smokes articles second to none in the city. You must see the place to appreciate it. W. T. FRANCIS.

POLITICAL POINTERS. **Primaries Will Be Held Tuesday March 13.** You must register or you cannot vote. Judges R. C. Hine and John W. Finkbout the present judges of the municipal election come before the public on their merits and ask for a renaming, which they doubtless will receive. THE APPEAL is pleased to find among the candidates who are seeking political preference at the coming citizen election. The primary voting follows below citizen W. T. Francis who deserves a nomination as one of the assemblymen. There are nine assemblymen to be nominated by each party and they are voted for all over the city in the primary election Tuesday, March 13th. Mr. Francis received the unanimous indorsement of the Republican workers and only consented to fill the ers and only consented to file for the nomination upon the earnest solicitation of a large number of his friends and others. A doubt of his being successful. Whatever else you may do or not do don't fall to vote for W. T. Francis for assemblyman. Fred H. Harm, the Republican candidate for City Treasurer, was born in Lansing, Michigan, and lived on the farm until 1855 when he to St. Paul and learned the jewelry and optical business and engaged in business himself since 1890, his place of business now being at 109.

BELLS OF “MERRIE ENGLAND.” Peals Still Rung Have Significance From Ciden Times. In‘some parts of the country’ the bell which tolls the old year out Is called the “Old Lad's Passing Bell.” In western England the bells peal merrily on “Oak Apple Day,” to cele- brate the escape of King Charles at Boscobel. Another bell, rung at the beginning of Lent, is known as “Pan- cake Bell,” because in old-time phrase, ‘it “summons people away from thelr jpaneakes to confession and fasting.’ A lively peat of bells is often: rung at the end of the Sunday morning ser- ee and is ealleg "Pudding Bell.” Per haps its purposes to announce to the stay-at-homes that service is over and that the pudding may come out of the oven. fe Every night at five minutes past 9, “Great Tom,” the great bell of Christ church college at Oxford, booms out fits ponderous note 101 times. This particular number was chosen fn accordance with the number of stu: dents at the foundation of the col lege.—Youth’s Companion. POINTS OF THE PILES BURNED. Remarkable Case of Spontaneous Ig- nition Recently Noted. A remarkable case of spontaneous ignition that recently occurred in erecting the walls of the new Rotter- dam quay is related by the Technische Bunéschan, | Rams had beeh in use there for ‘some time, which by 180 or 209 strokes per minute caused a steady advance of the piles, The foundation was such that the pillars had to be driven through the quicksand down to the solid ground. On withdrawing some piles, the points of the latter were found, owing to the enormous friction, to have ‘been charred entirely and heated to such a point as to bégin burning spontaneously on coming in contact with ‘the afr; nor could iron shoes prevent this spontaneous ignition. When leaving the piles in the ground this ignition would not result fn any damage, the charring remain ing confined to the surface, and the heat being rapidly carried away in the eaplat antennae G {\ - A |modern Fc é b : ~ Aa srewery A ys the pace a BIG Geo fa 5 ee owe a 2 oa Les aheweRY : é SS Bie ti) aioe make R Sa BZ 8 ani mal Sp =e wy La a a CALL FOR IT CTs i "CAN!
