The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3-Its correspondents are able and energetic. ARE LITTLE KNOWN NAMES OF CABINET OFFICERS NOT HOUSEHOLD WORDS. And Really to the Great Mass of the People of the Country It Matters Little Who Occupy the Positions How many people there are in the country who do not know anything about what in Washington is thought is essential information. Not long since a delegation from New Jersey was visiting the capital. They were well-to-do, intelligent looking people, and seemed to be a class that ought to know considerable about our government, and was in the government department waiting to see the secret. One who seemed to be somewhat familiar with the city pointed to the magnificent shaft that is prominent from every point of view and said it was an obelisk that had been brought here at great expense. So much for the Washington monument. Inquiry was made as to whose statue was located in front of the building, and when told that it was Gen. Sherman's the identity of the great civil war generals, it was explained. Then, turning to a gentleman standing purveyor of information asked who was secretary of the treasury, and was informed it was Leslie M. Shaw. "Well, I didn't know but what it was." When Secretary Shaw was told about this, he related an occurrence that took place in Iowa. It was at a gathering of educators, an association of some kind where all were supposed to be well informed. A question arose as to something in current history, and there was a wrong answer given, and there was a gentlemen in referring to the lack of education, and that it was really deplorable, but not wholly inexcusable, as he would venture to say in the convention of educators there was not a person that would undertake to name correctly the president and members of his cabinet, and no one made the attempt. In this connection it is said that Postmaster General Corletry recently received two letters on the same day, one addressed to "Wilson S. Bissell, Postmaster General," and the other addressed to "Wilson, Postmaster General." Both hold the position in Cleveland's last administration. It is not so strange, however, that people should not know all these facts of current history. Probably they ought to know the names of the cabinet, but thousands—yes, millions—do not care about the names of the president's cabinet. They say: "Why burden our minds with things that do not concern us?" And there is a great deal in that. It is not often that the president offers whatever to do with a cabinet officer wants to transact business with the government he can do so by writing to the department rather than the cabinet officer. But very few persons have any such business relations with the government. If they have a satisfactory postmaster in the smaller towns, and a satisfactory mail carrier system in the larger towns, they do not care who is postmaster general. You can't make people take a vital interest in things that do not come under vacation or are not a part of their daily routine. The business man has something to think about besides politics. We laugh at them who cannot tell who represents him in congress, but many people have no relations with their congressman whatever. It is simply a case of environment. A good road overseer in the country is of more importance to the average farmer than either a cabinet officer or a congressman. It is more to him to have a fair and competent assessor than to have the best man in the country for his senator in the city man a good alderman and in the school officials are far more to him than the supreme court and the methods of the United States government. It is not at all surprising, therefore, that there are a great many people in this great nation of ours that are not at all familiar with the names of officials of our government. Clark Wouldn't Trade Names "Champ" Clark, the Missouri congressman, never writes his full name, James Beauchamp Clark, unless on important occasions. "You never have the newspapers saying Representative Clark, of Missouri, when they want to say something nice about me," observed the Missouriian. "They say Champ Clark because it is easy." Mr. Clark adopted this name because at one time, when living in Lexington, Ky., some letters sent to him by a girl acquaintance were delivered to another James B. Clark. Now, he as declares, he "wouldn't trade with William Hohencollen, Edward Wettin, even with Frazz Jose Hapsburg-Lorraine." Maryland Senator Pleases As was to be expected, William Pinckney Whyte, the venerable successor of Senator Gorman, has made a most favorable impression on his colleagues. Dressed faultlessly and with his courtly bearing, fine burgundy complexion and snow-white hair, he attracts much attention. One of the best things said of him during his first day came from a small to-headed page. "I hear the Maryland fellows call him Pink Whyte," said the lad, "and his complexion and hair are right even with his name." ARTS OF THE TOILET. Olive oil is the beauty doctor's cureall for poor complexions. He advises its use in every possible food, plenty of green salads reeking with it, and then doses of it by the tablespoonful. By resting for half an hour in a dark room and placing over the eyes a bit of old linen which has been sat with rose water, the eyes will be rested and will brighten considerably. The physical beauty of the eye depends more upon its size and elongation than upon the color. If the form be bad or if the eye be not well set in the head, no color can make the eye beautiful. When brushing, the teeth brush away from the gums. This is the only way to bridgeadge particles. Diluted listerine makes a mouth wash, and is very excellent for those individuals who suffer from colds. A firm toothbrush is better than a soft one and will keep the gums in a healthier state. The white of the eye should be clear; when it is yellow it is a sign of ill health. The real beauty of one's soul window is in the expression, the eye that lightens and lamps look deep sympathy is the one that impresses its image most strongly upon our memory. Formula for a simple cold cream: Four ounces of rosewater, four ounces of oil of sweet almonds, one ounce of spermaceti and one ounce of white wax. Orange flower water, violet water may be substituted for the rose. One dram of tincture of benzol or one-half dram of salicylic acid will insure the cream from becoming ranicol. Mix oils and fats, remove from heat, pour in rosewater and fluff up with an egg beater. SOME PRETTY CUSHIONS. A Dainty and Commendable Fashion of the Day to Have Cushion Covers Washable. Cushions are not only a desirable ornament in a room, but they go a great way to making its occupants comfortable. The fashion for having washing covers to cushions is delightful, as clean, white or cream muslin or silk cover nicely got up gives an air of freshness to a room, even though the furniture and carpets have seen their best days. These, of course, may be made any size, and of other materials than those named. No. 1 at the top of group is an ordinary oblong shape covered with QUITE A VARIETY. pale green linen, embroidered with a spray of pink chrysanthemums in flax thread in shades of pink with green foliage. No. 2 is in fine white muslin with a hem-stitched muslin drill; a row of feather-stitch is worked near the edge of cover all round with yellow silk; the cushion that it is on is covered with yellow mercerized sateen. Instead of hem-stitch at edge of frill, a pretty effect might easily be gained by an ordinary hem with a row of feathertitch worked above it with yellow silk. No. 3 is a heart-shaped cushion covered with white silk, worked with a spray of forget-me-nots and pink roses. The frill of silk is scalloped and buttonholed at the edge with blue silk, and is joined to the cover under a cord of blue and white silk. No. 4 is fine white linen, ornamented with two rows of drawn thread work. Buttonholes about three-fourths inch in length are worked between the lines; ribbon is threaded through these holes, and is arranged in rosettes at each corner. The ribbon must correspond with the under cover of cushion, a course, show through the drawn thread. The frilled ends are edged with lace. Buttonbread being tled tightly round above frills, and finished with bows. For Sensitive Hands For Sensitive Hands. For hands that are rough and sensitive frost will be much in water, this lotion will be much delightful: Two ounces of listerine and two ounces of glycerine. The surface soon become smoother and less sensitive. The lotion combines nicely with cosmetic jelly, formula for which is: Seven ounces of rose water, 30 grains of gum tragacanth, one ounce of alcohol, one ounce of glycerine. Soak the tragacanth in the rose water for three days, strain forbly through muslin, add glycerine and alcohol. A half-teafulful of pure borax s. an improvement. Any perfume may be added. Beautiful Chemisette. A beautiful chemisette or sheer handkerchief linen had embroidered in French handwork a swirling bowknot, interspersed with rosebuds. THE APPEAL. GAEKWAR OF BARODA IS A BIG SURPRISE Americans Expected to See a Bejeweled Spendthrift, but Instead Found Best Type of Enlight- To Find Fishing Bait. The boy wanted some worms for bait. He had selected a promising spot, a shady and low lying dell, but, though he had been digging now for fifteen minutes, not a single worm had his spade turned up. "Here, sonny," said an old angler, "take this chunk of soap and make me a quart or two of soap suds." The boy brought the suds, the old man sprinkled them over the ground, and then he, in his turn, began to dig. It was amazing. Here, where the boy before had not found a single worm, the old man now discovered them in docena. "You can find worms, 'most any, where, sonny,' said the old man, 'if you wet the ground with soapsuds first. The soapsuds draw them, the same as molasses draws files. A weak mixture of blue vitriol and water will do the same thing also." The Gaekwar of Baroda has fooled us. Most Americans expected to find in the Maharajah a typical Oriental, a compound of wild and ridiculous exaggerations, of barbaric wealth displayed with the most vulgar disregard of taste. Instead we have made the acquaintance much to our advantage, of a cosmetic gentleness of our education and most admirable display. Quick to pay tribute to just deserts, the people of this country have visited upon the prince of India more admiration than has been extended to any foreign visitor in years, although his visit has been quite unofficial in character. It is small wonder that gold, fringe, jeweled turbans, a retinue of wives, tigers and elephants, and great oriental splendors were expected to figure in his life. The Gaekwar is ruler of a great section of India. His full name alone would justify expectations of Oriental lavishness. When he spells it all out this is the result: His Highness, Maharajah Kaekwar of Baroda-Sayaji Rao III, Senakhas Kiel, Sam Sher Bahadur, Farzandi, Khlis-Dowlat-i-Inghika. His state, Baroda, is one of the three British dependencies that is signaled out for especial honor. The Gaekwar of Baroda has a salute of twenty-one guns as against from thirteen to nineteen for other states. Hyderabad and Mysore rival Baroda for wealth. As ruler of this realm, which is about the size of Massachusetts, the Gaekwar has an income of about $7,500,000 yearly. These brief facts explain why the United States anticipated a brilliant spectacle when the Maharajah should arrive. Not even in appearance was expectation of the man realized. Though he looks every inch the East Indian, the prince on tour had doffed all the dress of his forefathers. The famous million-dollar necklace of pearls was not taken en tour. In coming to the new world to gain information as to our ways, that he might apply those he regarded as术erter in his own country for its betterment. The Gaekwar chose to adopt the manners and customs of the Occident. His attire is that of the American gentleman of comfortable means. He is little over five feet in height, his hair is parted on one side and is brushed severely back over his brow. He walks briskly, with head well up. It is evident that this man did not come to the new world to parade his wealth, power or aristocrat social position. Both he and his wife, the charming maharasure, are consumed with but one degree, the desire to learn, and everywhere they go concentrate every effort on the quest for information. They are a pair of human question marks, but all questions are asked with the utmost politeness and breeding. The Gaekwar is the symbol of a new India. He has forsaken the comfort, the ease of his own land, in order to better equip himself to work for the good of his people. If he willed, the Gaekwar could live in luxury in his own land, and never know a care. Back of him is the LAXMI-VILAS PALACE, BAL Way of the World. He—I met two of the happiest men last night it has ever been my lot to encounter. She—What was the trouble? He—One of them had just been married and the other had just been divorced. "On what ground did she sue him for divorce?" "South Dakota, I believe." strong arm of England, ready to supress any rebellion, his wealth is ample to give every demand of wildest extravagance. The maharajah is a new kind of man for far off india. He has felt the message of progress. His desire is to be an enlightened ruler, spending his time, money and energies upon advances that will help his state. Education, culture, industry and refinement are his aims, and few men have done more to forward the maharajah is forty-three years old, and has been on the throne since he was twelve, though he did not assume full control until 1881. THE CHRISTIAN WOMAN MARIA AND JOHN RULER OF BARODA AND HIS WIFE. Sightseeing in an American City. He early taught his fellow rulers a lesson of activity that had heretofore been unknown among the indolent, pleasure loving people of the highest caste. He reformed the laws of his country, cleansed his sanitation, and worked long and late for the betterment of the lower classes, whose condition three decades ago had hardly a parallel for misery in the serfs of Russia. For his sport he chose such strenuous amusements as horseback riding and shooting big game. Then when he had so shaped matters that could spare the time, he arranged for his tour of every country of the world except Russia, where, as RODA, HOME OF MAHARAJAH Make Good Servants. There is constant immigration from the West Indies of male and female domestic servants. All are blacks or mulattoes, and they are eagerly sought by Eastern society women, for generally the West Indians have such fine English accent as to be the envy of their employers. Also they have more education and better manners than American negroes, from whom they hold themselves apart. a shrewd student, of conditions, he knows that of little enlightenment and progress was to be learned. His American plans include a visit to the principal big cities, study of their manufacturing and commercial interests, pilgrimages to all the great colleges of the country and even an investigation of American social life. It has been a most pretentious plan, and the Grawar's progress thus far has been marked by simplicity and intelligence in the midst of conditions, all of which were unfamiliar to him. In the capital he strolled around alone forming his own impressions. alone, forming his own impressions. The contrast between the simplicity of the Gaekwar in this country, and his splendor at home is astonishing. The Gaekwar has vast possessions, but generally inhabits the superb Indo-Saracenic palace, commenced during his minority, and only finished after years of labor. Its cost was millions, and both in extent and detail its luxury is bewildering. It is called Lakahimi Vilas—"abode of the goddess of fortune." The throne room where durbars are held will contain a thousand people. In the corridors of alabaster and pearl A. inlaid with precious stones, are observed many souvenirs of the European tours. His wealth is almost beyond computation. His "Star of the South" is one of the largest diamonds in the world; then there are the great collar of five hundred table-cut diamonds, with doubled faint of pear-shaped emeralds; a scarlet of pear-shaped pearls to cross the body row of diamonds with immense pigeon-blood rubies in the left shoulder; a necklace that falls from throat to girdle, the most wonderful thing in diamonds imaginable. Seven rows of briolettes or pear-shaped diamonds as large as hazelnuts, strung on imperceptible wires. The necklace of pearls the Gawk-war habitually wears is worth a million dollars. Her higness, the maharance of Baroda, is a woman of great charm and the retiring dignity and modesty of the East. She observes strict purdah of her rank and castile while in India, but travels with her husband in European fashion, though without discarding the graceful folds of her sarl. To Find Fishing Balt: The boy wanted some worms for bait. He had selected a promising spot, a shady and low lying dell, but, though he had been digging now for fifteen minutes, not a single worm had his spade turned up. "Here, sonny," said an old angler, "take this chunk of soap and make me a quart or two of soap suds." The boy brought the suds, the old man sprinkled them over the ground, and then he, in his turn, began to dig. It was amazing. Here, where the boy before had not found a single worm, the old man now discovered them in dozens. "You can find worms - most any-where, sonny," said the old man, "if you wet the ground with soapsuds first. The soapsuds draw them, the same as molasses draws filea. A weak mixture of blue vitriol and water will do the same thing also." Bilkins—My wife bought a $50 that one day last week and had it sent to my office C. O. D. Bilkins—My office luck, tuck it.

YUCATAN'S NATURAL WELLS Subterranean Rivers Around Which the Mayas Built Their Strange Cities in the Desert. Since Yucatan, where the Mayas built their strange cities, is a coral limestone formation, it would, says a writer in Records of the Past, have been a barren desert but for its subterranean rivers, and the cenotes, or water caverns, which give access to them. The Mayas noted the courses of the underground streams and built towns round the cenotes. Many cenotes are now found surrounded by ruins, and indications of the methods employed by the Mayas to reach their cool waters. In a cenote about 40 feet deep is inhabited by a peculiar species of fish. At Bolcan there is a cenote having five openings in the rocks at the bottom of the cavern. Ladders made by trying tree trunks together lead down a total distance of 1,400 feet, but the perpendicular depth from the surface to the water is not over 500 feet. SMALL PUBLIC LIBRARY British Bechuanaland Probably Can Boast of the Tiniest Building in Which Books Are Housed. The public library is one of the many blessings of civilization which the colonizing Britisher takes with him wherever he goes. From Kuruman, in British Bechuanaland, comes this little snapshot which represents the "Kuruman public library." Concerning this palatial institution a correspondent writes: "I think our library building may fairly claim to be one of the smallest, if not the smallest, in existence. In spite of its small size, the library is well stocked with books and has a large number of subscribers."—Wide World Magazine. Forest in the Water. Along the great blue current of Japan that sweeps down the California coast is strung a chain of islands. They are the summits of offshore Sieras, a coast range of California that has been partly overwhelmed by the sea. All have a peculiar beard, or protecting growth of weed, that constitutes a perfect forest about them, a giant seaweed growing in water 60 or more feet in depth and forming a natural wave break and a home for countless marine animals. It was a magnificent 100 feet in length, vast cables, with broad crimped leaves of a dark olive hue, which assume graceful shapes in the tide. *Stunned Fish an Easy Capture.* A small boy, rowing on the Allegheny river at Pittsburg was started when his oar struck and stunned an immense fish. Before it recovered the boy had towed his prey to land. It was nearly four feet long and weighed 35 pounds. Old rivermen declared it a mammoth catfish. *IRISH ROCKING STONE* Here is a picture of a cromlech, or rocking stone, which occurs on the estate of the Earl Anneesley, near Castlewellan, in County Down, Ireland. The top stone, though many tons in weight, is so delicately balanced that it can easily be moved by pushing it with an umbrella. Keen Sense of Humor. "There's nothing like a sense of humor," said Rear Admiral Buehler at Atlantic City. "In a woman, in a soldier, in a sailor, in a clerk, a sense of humor is a help and a blessing through life. "At the same time, even a sense of humor may exist in excess. I, for my part, shouldn't care to have so great a sense of humor as a British soldier I once heard about. "This soldier was ordered to be flogged. During the Rogging" he laughed continually. The lash was on all on the harder, but under the rain of blows the soldier laughed. "What are you laughing at?" the sergeant finally asked. "Why, the soldier chuckled, 'I'm the wrong man.'" Curious Central African Nests. A curious nest, found in Central Africa by Dr. C.

ADOPTED FOX CUBS ADOPTED FOX CUBS CAT SEEMINGLY ENJOYS ACTING AS FOSTER MOTHER. Protects and Plays with Them as She Would with Her Own Kittens—Form Pretty and Interesting Group. In the course of a long experience one comes across many curious and interesting cases of foster-mothers rearing and taking under their protection young animals of their own and far different species, says a writer in English Country Life. For instance, I have known a terrier suckle and bring up a litter of kittens, a bring in from the fields a young wild rabbit and rear it, another collie mother a young chicken, a couple two young lambs, a cat a couple of young squirrels, another cat mother a chicken which had broken its leg. Cat and Fox Cubs. and allow nothing to come near it; and the other day, Mr. W. Cooper, of Alsbylah Hex, pickled, informed me that a groom in the snuffle of Mr. Frank Stericker, of Pickering, Yorkshire, had a cat which was suckling two little fox cubs. I went to Pickering and obtained a most interesting series of photographs, two of which are here reproduced. Mr. Stericker informed me that the two little cubs had been found ten days previously by his man in a fence bottom, quite helpless and blind, and apparently only a day or two old. Not seeing any sign of a vizen about, or any trace of an earth near, he thought they would only come to an untimely end if he left them where they were, and so he put them in his pocket and took them back to the stable, where he had a cat with a recently produced family of kittens. The little cubs were at first put with the kittens, and the old cat took to them at once, pacing as much attention to them as she did to her own family. When they had been with her a few days the kittens were removed, so that the young cubs might obtain all the nourishment possible; and at the time of my visit, when they A Little Red Bover. were about a fortnight old, they were strong, hardy little animals, with every prospect of being successfully reared. And a very pretty sight it was to see the old cat playing with them, now rolling on her back and now on her side, and the little foxes, with their distinctly white-tagged brushes, cuddling up to her, and giving little yaps and growls of pleasure and contentment. In their soft mouse-colored fluffy coats they presented a very different appearance to what they will do if they are fortunate enough to survive their colobood and in due course blossom out into felling grown foxes. The old cat at first did not at all approve of the intrusion of a stranger with a camera into the family circle, and she glared at me angrily, and lashed her tail from side to side; but with the assistance of Mr. Stericker and his man she soon settled down with her foster-children, and the whole group formed as pretty and interesting a picture as I have had the pleasure of seeing for a long time.

In a recent issue of his magazine, Tom Watson declares: "It makes no difference whatever to Georgia or to the people in her limits whether she has six representatives in Congress (the number proposed by General Keifer) or eleven (the number to which the state is entitled).

The incident is of some political value, as throwing some light upon what some have considered a debatable point, that is whether the South would rather address to her grandfather clauses or to the Republican representation. It is evident that the South does not wish her representation to be any more of a hopeless and helpless minority that it is at present.

THOMAS FORTUNE ESO Who Makes a Strong Argument for Afro-American as the Proper Race Designation. The Washington Post says: The fifteenth amendment died long ago, and all of the fourteenth amendment that relates to reduction of representation died with it. The only attempt of the United States, which has not a single voter in all its vast domains, to sue for suffrage in the States failed utterly. Presidents Garfield, Arthur, Harrison, McKinley and Roosevelt have persistently discouraged sectionalism. They have all realized and practically admitted that Afro-American enfranchisement would have immense magnitude—and have been more than willing to let the Southern people deal with the affection in the light of their own superior knowledge of the situation. That is stating the case pretty strongly. They have very far to show that the President made a public party generally are in full accord with Tillman, Vardaman and Reverend t.-m d.-n. But, if any of those Presidents or any considerable portion of the Republican party, practice, have made any such admission, have made any such admission, have practically or otherwise, the fact has not attracted any special attention. The Indianapolis Freeman thinks 'hat Prof. Council's "action" in the Ransom case affords no just cause for criticism. It says: "A colored man in the South has no right that a white man is bound to respect. In the greater part of that section the Dred Scott decision is in question. Council has nothing to do, for it is responsible for the condition that exists. Like others, he must adapt himself to it if he is to continue to labor for the upbuilding of the race in the South. No one can help him in his work by making him trouble." This argument is that it is so easily applied to excuse any abatement that exists in the South, or anywhere else. It is a fact that in the South the Afro-American who is a pimp and the female who is a procuress are very popular with licentious white men. It is a fact that many Afro-Americans who get jobs in the South must do all of dirty work or lose their jobs. The argument advanced by the Freeman will excuse them all. THE ATLANTA CONFERENCE The Atlanta Conference, which devotes time to a systematic study of all problems relating to the Afro-American can, has published a report of its conclusions. One of these is an undoubted improvement of the health of the race, though it is admitted that the death rate is still too high. The report beaten up by the efforts of an organizationized to be a competent and reliable scientific observer, has attracted much attention. The Chicago Inter Ocean says: But the most striking result of the conference is the report that it does not find any adequate scientific warrant for the assumption that the Afro-American race is inferior to other races. The differences in mortality seem to be sufficiently explained by conditions of life, and physical measurements prove the negro a normal human being capable of average human accomplishment. Such investigations will furnish a sufficient refutation of the vaporings of Jimcrowites, and in that way do valuable service. Says the Chicago Tribune: "The American people want harmony everywhere where the country's borders. In the mind of the vaporites is no place for sectionalism." All of which reminds us of another well known quotation: "Gentlemen may cry peace, peace, but there is no peace." It is true that the American people all want harmony, but upon what terms "Tillman proposes terms that no sooner will not accept. The terms are absolutely irreconcilable and incompatible; but they all want harmony. On the motion of Senator McLaurin, of Mississippi, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: "Resolved that the people' of the United States are horrified by the reports of the massacres of Hebrews in Russia on account of their race and violence, and those bereaved thereby have the hearty sympathy of the United States." And of course, the people of Russia are equally horrified at the massacres in Mississippi, on account of race, but the Douma has not, as yet resolved anent the matter. A northern man who goes South is at first hugely disgusted by the fact that he sees the slow movement go slow, and attributes the slow movement to laziness. But it does not take him long to learn more sense; for in a little while he finds himself very strongly inclined to take it easy. In southern climates it is either go slow or not at all. Men cannot labor in the world zone as they can up North. In regard to Senator Smoot, the situation is that the Senate is waiting to find out what the people demand. The only tangible point in the question is whether Mr. Smoot's allegiance to his church, or to his government, is in his hands, paramount to him may be allowed to whisper that every church requires of its members paramount allegiance; so it interprets: "We must obey God rather than man." The professors in some of our big institutions are demonstrating the fact that a man may be top heavy with Greek and Calcusius and not have much commonness. Two Harvard professors are trying to construct an apology for Ivens, the murderer of Mrs. Hollister. We attribute this aberration to the professors having read the Leopard's Spots, since the price has fallen 90 per cent. AS THE APPEAL predicted, the studied effort to eliminate all mention of the Afro-American, except to exploit the misdeeds of the baser elements of the society, was the ous waving of the bloody shirt the country has known for several years. THE MAN WHO WAS THE FIRST MAN WHO WAS THE FIRST MAN WHO WAS THE FIRST MAN In the great fight to eliminate the objectionable Jim Crow amendment to the rate bill, Senator Shelby M. Cullom rendered conspicuous service and endeared himself more than ever to the Afro-Americans of Illinois and the firehouse man in war to the war, the war and he has continued a steadfast friend to the present day. Used Strict Economy in All Branches of the Public Service—The Public Debt of the State Paid—Greatest Good to Greatest Number His Motto. In the administration of the State government Governor Culom developed the highest degree of statesmanship, combined with the highest degree of business sense. His was a business administration, and, by the exercise of the strictest economy in all branches of the public service during the establishment of the public debt of the State was. It was during his administration, too, that the additional penitentiary at Chester and the additional hospital for the insane at Kankakee were constructed. He was a faithful friend of the State institutions and not a breath of scandal attached to the introduction or operation of any of them while he was in the executive mansion. Men of the highest character and standing were selected for important departments of service, with a special executive ability and fitness to perform the duties of their respective positions. There was no executive interference with the several boards of trustees, commissioners and heads of departments in the organization and in the appointment and removal of subordinates. The various boards were held accountable for results and were given the fullest powers by the executive. Wherever the interests of the State [as] within the purview of the executive department, the most patient and thoughtful attention was bestowed upon them. To preside over a great commonwealth like that of Illinois, surpassing in wealth, importance and resources many of the minor States of Europe, and greater in population than the whole United States when Washington was elected President, in such a position that the bureau shall work in concert in the development of the moral and material progress of a mighty people, requires not only the guiding hand of practical experience, but also rare wisdom in the selection of men and measures best adapted to secure the desired result. His was recognized as the very best of administrations, and so satisfactory that he was thoroughly patriotic and business-like in administration that he was renominated SENATOR SHEL Who Did Good Work in the Fight A Rate In the great fight to eliminate t to the rate bill, Senator Shelby M.

Cullom In Congress. In 1864, Shelby M. Cullom was elected to congress, and was twice re-elected, served as governor and House of Congress for six years. At the time of his election to Congress in 1864 he was the law partner of the Hon. Milton Hailer, a great Illinois law firm. He uncle of the late Secretary of State John Cullom enjoyed the firm of Hailer & Cullom enjoyed the firm of the law office in the capital of the state, and probably the largest and most remunerative practice of any Illinois firm outside of the city of Chicago. He transferred from the Legislature to Congress in 1865, the fact that he had entered upon a broader field of action, involving larger duties and higher responsibilities. He served in Congress during that limiting period of reconstruction, when he was the ablest man of the Nation was broadened constant requisition in the effort to solve the multitude of perplexing problems presented. Mr. Cullom was an active and aggressive member, support and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution and the reconstruction legislation. SENATOR HOPKINS... Champions the Rights of the Afro-Americans. Said Senator Hopkins in an interview: "Theark of Anglo-Saxon civilization has not been intrusted exclusively by the British Democrats of the South. Neither Democrats nor home reverenced exclusively by political leaders who now control the destinies of the old slave-holding commonwealths. I take it that both are areident to the American people, the perspective of section and of political affiliations. "It seems to me that if the South persists in its present attitude it will inevitably degrade the Afro-American, taking from him all incentive to high endeavor and crowding him down to the level of the commonwealth him always to tread a level lower than trodden by his white country." "And that thought brings me to the crux of this question, namely, that the Democratic party is foisting upon the country a policy which will result in our having in this nation two great classes—the one riding upon the backs of the other, and the strength of the other, upon the supinness of the blacks." Lincoln said that the nation could not continue half slave and half free." ILBY M. CULLOM. against the Jim Crow Amendment to the Bill. the objectionable Jim Crow amendment ulom rendered conspicuous service and to the Afro-Americans of Illinois and as a friend of the race before the war friend to the present day. not need any additional infusion of white blood, although we are getting plenty of it; we need only to intermary the mixed and pure bloods of the African origin of the people of African origin on the continent. To-day we have Afro-American black and colored people; the time is coming when we have Afro-American colored and white people ultimately will disappear into the American people, whose race type is in process of formation. This is inevitable, as we have no reinforcement of our race type. We can easily mix blood with all the white races here with whom we live and a part of whom we are. It is of the highest importance that we get ourselves straightened out on our African origin, and we will get this race designation properly fixed in the language and literature of the country we shall be kicked and cuffed and sneered at as a common noun, sufficiently and contemptuously characterized by the vulgar term "Nerpo." The term "Negro" adopted from the Latin, has been used from primitive times, to describe the black people of Africa as they are or have been, and so used, it has been treated as a common noun. It is impossible to get the writers in America, Europe or Asia to treat it as a proper noun. They never will do it, because it is not a term definitive of race affinity and unities, but rather as a common noun of which color is the visible and invariable index. The term "Negro" has not even a respectable tribe in Africa to dignify it. The tribe so designated is reputed to be the most diverse of all the African tribes. An American recently returned from Abysinia told me that if a person should call an Abysinian a Negro he would fell him in his tracks. He would take it as a term of reproach—as an insult. It happens Fortune in New York Tribu- The biggest humbug and makeshift of the age is that the word colored cannot be used to designate Afro-Americans of the United States because Asiatics are also colored. Under the same ruling it is improper to use American to designate natives of the United States, because Esquimaux and Patagonians are Americans. Knowles Building. Boys' Hall. Some Hall. Girls' Hall.

Jacob's condition continues much the same. St. James enjoyed a splendid spiritual sermon from Rev. Graves last Sunday morning and many were made happy. In the evening Rev. Graves treated us to a practical talk on the Negro's relation to the great institutions regulated by the whites and blacks to build up their own institutions and particularly spoke of the Afro-American Methodists uniting into one great body. Rev. Graves also gave St. Peter's Church of Minneapolis a touch of high life in the afternoon and carried them into ecstasies of joy. Right here we want to pause to say that since the establishment of the envelope system on the 1st day of May, 1904, we have not heard the cry of "being behind with our pastor." Other churches will please "sit up and take notice." The collection last Sunday was $25.59. Tuesday evening, July 24, will be the night of the Mandolin Recital. Don't miss the treat.

"Nick" has been careful to the point of conservatism, and such a member is always valuable on a board.

Hoyt, Vice-President of the Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress, which met in St. Paul, August 19-22, 1903, was born in Auburn, N. Y. He is descended from an old Holland family of Westphalia. He law with Hon. Milo Goodrich, Prelawman and bookkeeper and cashier of a large house for six years. After reading law, he spent a few years in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. While in Colorado he had charge, as assigne, of a large mercantile failure, and was also engaged in mining and a member of a cavalry company for the Indian troubles. He returned to New York, and after a visit with his father, came to St. Paul fifteen years ago. The first year he was here he became assigne of a large mercantile failure in Christine, N. D. He represented a time in the capacity of a commercial officer. He was a delegate to the Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress, held at Cripple Creek, Col., in 1901. After some hard work and a brilliant five-minute speech, he brought the Confrontation against great opposition.

Paints Picture of Bird and Snake on a Woman's Arm. Mrs. Thomas Lynch was picking lettuce in her garden at 416 Fulton street, Union Hill, N. J., when the remarkable storm descended on Sunday afternoon. She went to her gate with a glass dish in her hand. Just then lightning struck so close by that her hand, touching the gate, felt the shock. She found that her fingers clasped the dish so tightly that she could not put it down. After some hours a feeling of numbness left her arm, her hand lost its cramp, and she could loose her hold on the 11th. Next morning the arm became black and swollen. On it, between the shoulder and elbow, pale figures began to appear. Finally they showed plainly printed on the skin a picture of a bird resembling a pheasant, a picture of a snake, and characters like the Chinese inscriptions on boxes of tea. A Considerate Landlord.

It made a difference of $250,000 to him. "What is your idea of true love?" asked the romantic maid. "True love," answered the practical young man, "is the art of saying nothing and trading kisses."

The action of these Blankets is to superinduce a process of sweating by means of a newly patented arrangement of electric wires which carry the current in a numerous course through the skin. The watchboard is first enveloped in a heavy woven blanket and then encamped on the shoulders downward in the electrical blanket and reclines upon the table, while the current suitably controlled by the proper actuation of the switches of the watchboard is applied at the feet. Thus an even current is distributed over the entire surface of the body and increased or decreased at the will of the operator, producing a mild or energetic process of sweating. The action of the inner or first blanket is to absorb this sweat, and render the patient perfectly able while undergoing treatment. Where the curtain is swapped off, the patient is removed from the blankets, given a bath and briskly rubbed with a coarse towel, producing a vigorous circulation and the treatment is concluded by the external application of certain medicines over the affected PROF.
