DISASTROUS CHARGE OF CUIRASSIERS AT SUNKEN ROAD OF WATERLOO VOL. 23. NO. 7. The glory of the French army—the Cuirassier—has fought its last battle. What the armies of the world could not accomplish in the wars of three centuries, is to be achieved in a stroke of the pen by a French military official, and in a few months the Cuirassiers will be only a tradition. The showy soldier on horseback, wearing his flashing breastplate of steel, with a brass piece in the center, has ever been the idol of the show-loving French nation, and the winner of some of its greatest battles, but modern methods of warfare have put out of commission the equipment that comes down from the Middle Ages. No cuirass, no matter how craftily wrought could resist the bullet of today, and so Gen. de Negreur, French minister of war, has decreed that the thirteen regiments of cuirassiers must be mustered out. No wonder France loved its cuirassiers. They had a great history. In every war of the patrie they cut a superb figure, and until they lowered their colors at Waterloo to the valor of Scots Grays the world had come to believe them invincible. There are not many cuirassiers left in the world's armies. The abolition of the thirteen French regiments will leave three countries with this arm of the service—Russia, Germany and Italy. Germany has twelve regiments and Russia four, but it is altogether possible that the kaiser and czar will follow the lead of the French. Yet only a few hundred years ago the man in the cuirass was the ideal fighter. Before the deadly quick-firing rifles and machine guns had come to deal out death as swiftly and surely as a barrel organ grinds out a tune, the cuirass was sufficiently effective to turn aside bullets. Gustavus Adolphus, the greatest warrior of Sweden, first taught the world what a wonderful fighting possibility there could be in a well-drilled company of expert horsemen, able to maneuver with lightning swiftness, so protected as to be comparatively nimble, and having in their pikes lances, or above, the irresistable onrush of their mounts the force to wipe any ordinary antagonist out of the way. Only an equally powerful force of cuirassiers could resist such a force, and the military experts of Europe, profiting by the lessons of Gustavus, directed their attention to perfecting this feature of offensive warfare. England, then, had its cuirassiers, though they have long since been abandoned in the service of the British king. France early took up the subject, and under Louis XIII, developed several excellent regiments. The cuirassier of this period was heavily accounted, carrying beside saber and pistol, a lance or a pike. Then came the famous Marshal Saxe to carry along still further the work of preparation that was to give Napoleon cuirassiers in Europe. In 1806 against the Prussian at Jena and Auerstaff, they did matchless work, and were responsible for these successes. That command of cuirassiers under Kellerman, at Marengo, numbered only two hundred, but it turned a rout into a victory, and by a ruch of matchless valor put the Austrian army to flight after what seemed a certain victory. The two hundred cuirassiers were directly responsible for the taking of 2,000 prisoners, and the saving of Napoleon from the threat of a serious defeat. At Austrelitz and Wagram the cuirassiers brought victory to the legions of the emperor. The Russian campaign dealt hardly with the cuirassiers, for Napoleon, by THE APPEAL. one of the few overwests charged against him, having failed to provide frost nails for the cavalry and ruined that arm for the time. But when Waterloo came, the emperor had managed to restore his cullassiers to their old state of strength and proficiency. He relied on them in the struggle that broke his career, and they did not prove amiss, but the odds against which they pitted were too overwhelming for any bravery. The crafty Wellington, knowing the prowess of the French cullassiers, opposed them with the pick of his fighting force, the cavalry/under Gen. Ponsonby. This consisted of the Royal Dragons, Scots Grays and Iniskilling Dragons. These latter were early drawn into the action, for D'Erlon, overcom THE MARSHAL THE FRENCH ARMY IN THE RUSSIA ing Byland, was chased from a strong position by the Grays. Between 4 and 6 in the afternoon, under the personal direction of Ney, a movement of the French cuirassiers was ordered. The grand old veterans—Kellerman, Milhaud and Guyot—took charge of the men, whom Napoleon always awarded the honor of being thrown at the enemy in the crisis of the battle. Straight at the center of the British line rode the cuirassiers. They were supported by artillery, and did terrible execution among the Britishers. Had they likewise been supported by infantry, Waterloo might have had a different outcome, but the wonderful valor of the Scots Grays, formed in squares to resist the attack, and compelled to support the frightful struggle for hours, finally prevailed, and the cuirassiers, to piece, finally had to retreat to avoid complete extermination. When Napoleon saw them come back he conceded the end. It is a curious fact that at the same time that the cuirassiers are to pass English invent substance, ma great discovery boy then.

Wheat and hogs, hitherto regarded by the farmer of the Mississippi valley simply as food products, have assumed a new commercial importance. In brief, wheat and hogs' spittle will produce rubber. The importance of the discovery can scarcely be overestimated, coming as it does at a time when the world is anxiously asking from whence its future supplies of rubber are to come. In half a decade it is said, the accumulation of the elastic material will be at least 80,000 tons. Even 100,000 tons is regarded by many as a conservative estimate. It was by accident that Mr. Carr, the ```markdown ``` English inventor or discoverer of the substance, made the first step in his great discovery. He was but a small boy then. Passing one day through a field of wheat he plucked a few grains of the cerial, and, chewing them, formed the gluinous compound so familiar to every country lad. Many years later, recalling his early experience, he began putting his theory to the test. His first laboratory was a small shed in his back yard; his apparatus a coffee grinder and a kettle of hot water. Later he was able to obtain the use of the best shops and laboratories in England. "You say you were in the saloon at the time of the assault referred to in the complaint?" questioned the lawyer, "w. was, sor," replied the witness. "Did you take cognizance of the barkeeper at the time?" "I don't know what he called it, sor, but I took what the rest did." LOAD OF WATERLOO. Defective Page The millionaire and the footlight favorite. A new chapter has just been added to this never ending romance. William E. Corey, president of the United States Steel trust at a salary of $100,000 a year, has his destiny linked to that of Miss Mabelle Gilman. What will the outcome be? There are lots of precedents for the Gilman Gorey affair. In fact, it seems to be a favorite trick of men with millions of dollars in wages of their poorer days when wealth opens the way to acquaintanceship with footlight queens. The "Tin Plate King," William B. Leeds of Richmond, Indiana, had a wife long before he became a millionaire. She was a sweet, home-loving woman, who aided him to become rich. Then he met Nannie Stewart Worthington, a woman of good family, who was the wife of George E. Worthington. The couple had drifted apart, and Mrs. Worthington listened willingly when Leeds suggested she get a divorce. This accomplished, the "Tin Plate King" found an excuse to put aside his own wife and then married Mrs. Worthington. It is said that he paid the first Mrs. Leeds $1,000,000 to permit a separation. A few Leeds in the tin plate business, was Daniel G. Reid. He, too, married Clarissa Agnew, a young woman of the comic opera stage. Henry M. Klagler, "King of Florida," one of the richest men in the United States, forced a complaisant legislature to pass a law making insanity grounds for divorce. With this for an excuse, he put aside his wife and married a woman thirty-six years his junior. The case of Harry Thaw is too recent to call for reference. Its tragic MISS MABELLE GILMAN. consequences have made it the most notable of the lot. This glance at a few straggling instances show the allurement that women of the stage have for men of lately acquired wealth. The romance of Mr. Corey, however, presents this somewhat unusual feature. It was the belief of his associates in the steel trust that he was the last man who would yield to the attraction of a stage queen. From the time he took a place at work on the cat tipple dumping cars in the employ of his uncle, J. B. Corey, a Braddock millionaire, until the directors of the steel trust gave him the task of straightening out the affairs of that company, Mr. Corey came only into public notice as an indefatigable worker. He gave fullest credit to his wife for a large portion of his success that came to him. His wife's knowledge of chemistry qualified him to position the Edgar Thompson mills of the Carnegie Steel company, which advance later led him to the plate mills of the Homestead Steel works, and finally to the presidency of the steel trust. When Mr. Corey assumed the latter position Mr. Carnegie, who prides himself on his keen judgment of human nature, said: "There is a man whose head will never be turned by a woman." Developments show that for once the shrewd Andy went wide of the mark. It took an uncommon girl to win Mr. Corey, and Miss Gilman is that. Mr. Corey, and Miss Gilman is that. Those girls who knew Miss Gilman when she was a demure student at Mills college, near Oakland, Cal. she is a daughter of the Golden State-always predicted for her the power to make any kind of a career she wished. Miss Gilman was a way to make in the world. Her mother was a widow, making sacrifices to give her daughter an education. Mabelle could sing and act, and for comic opera work lacked only ability to dance. It was not through the medium of light opera, however, that Miss Gilman was first to essay the boards. She stormed no less a person than Augustin Daly, who, impressed with her possibilities, for she being a fine, THE LADY IN THE COTTON BED striking girl in a heavy dark style, engaged her on the spot and placed her in a small part in support of Miss Ada Rehan. Going East with Mr. Daly, she played small parts in his company, and then shifted to the Casino. Here she achieved quick success, and like every other popular American light opera prima donna, she went to London. The attentions shown to Miss Gilman the Prince of Siam quickly brought her into the full blaze of publicity. Nothing that popularity and notoriety seemed to come hand in hand, Miss Gilman made no particular secret of the advances of other admirers. All her previous adventures sank WILLIAM E. COREY, President of United States Steel Corporation. into nothingness when news of the infatuation of William E. Corey became public. He had just come in public notice, conspicuously by his skilful reorganization of the steel trust, and his friends were astounded by reports that he planned to marry Miss Gilman as soon as the court's decision freed him from his wife. The sensational divorce suit in which the sister of Corey took sides against him with the wife, and Miss Gilman's career of luxury in a Bonaparte chateau in France, are spectacular features of the episode. What will be the outcome? Will the steel magnate be content to have escaped from the shackles that were distasteful and be loyal to the woman who has been his desire for years? Will Miss Gilman be content to settle down to a life of placid domesticity? Is the romance at an end as far as the world is concerned, or will there be future chapters? SEWING MACHINE A TYRANT. Less and Less Time for Enjoyment Since Its Use. The trouble is that we have allowed the machine to master us. The possibility of quick, easy and cheap production has so intoxicated us that we have gone on producing in a sort of insane proficiency, and our imaginary needs have grown with it. Originally intended to make simpler and easier the doing of necessary things, the inexperienced machinery with its train of attendant and its personnel and befriended our standards of living that we have less and less time for enjoyment and growth, and nervous prostration is the characteristic dis- MINNESOTA HISTORICAL PROPERTY THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4- It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5- It is not controlled by any ring or clique. 6- It asks no support but the people's. ease of the ase. The old model of the sewing machine exactly expresses the state of affairs. Its introduction was to be a boon to overworked woman by relieving her of the tedium hours of stitchery and so giving her more leisure for other things or for rest, but to her the means of doing ten times as much work in an hour as she could by hand meant simply an opportunity to put ten tucks into a garment instead of one. Instead of adding something to her life, the machine took away more than it brought, for it encouraged the desire for senseless and needless elaboration and so made her work harder and more confining than before. When she ornamented a garment made by hand, the ornamentation was the expression of her own thought of beauty, but with the mechanical ornamentation made possible by the machine there grew up in her mind a false idea of more elaboration for its own sake, and so the machine mastered instead of serving her. HAD SEEN LAWYERS WEEP. Physician Came Out of Cross-Examination With Flying Colors. In a case recently tried in Fall River before Judge Bell Dr. George L. Walton of Boston appeared as a witness for the defense. The plaintiff claimed that he had been severely injured by a car leaving the rails and that he had suffered as a result of this injury for over two years and was still suffering. Dr. Walton testified that he had examined the plaintiff and that in his opinion the symptoms that the plaintiff complained of were within his own control and were not genuine. Upon cross-examination Waldo Reed or Fall River took each symptom separately and made each into a question which ended with, "Do you believe that to be a genuine symptom, doctor?" and to each question Dr. Walton said, "No." The star question was reached and Reed's voice trembled with emotion as he asked, "Dr. Walton, when pressuer was applied to this man's back between his shoulder blades tears came to his eyes, do you believe this to be a genuine symptom?" MISS GILMAN As an Egyptian Charmer. "Dr. Walton, can a man make tears come to his eyes without a cause?" "Hum," said Walton, "I've seen lawyers do it in court." A good many of the thousand-dollar stage gown looks like the greater part of the cost must have been for traveling expenses. PALACES GOING UP UNCLE SAM BUILDING TWO HOTELS FOR STATESMEN. White Marble Apartment Houses, One for "Senators and One for Congressmen, Will Soon be Ready for Occupation. Uncle Sam is building two apartment houses in Washington. They will be the most magnificent, structures of their kind in this country, and will cost $2,500,000 apiece. Exclusively for use by congressmen, they will be to all intents and purposes detached wings of the capitol, though separated from the latter by several hundred feet. One of them will be occupied by senators and the other by representatives. These official "congressional flats," as they might be called, will be devoted wholly to the personal convenience and comfort of the legislative occupants, who will be surrounded by every imaginable luxury. In effect, they will be huge hotels, each of them occupying more ground than the Walderf-Astoria in New York, though not so high; and the dining rooms will be on a great scale and very handsome—though "guests" will be at liberty to have their meals served in the rooms by messengers on the government pay roll and, if so, they so desire. Also, there will be magnificent bar shops; and, indeed, the only regular hotel feature lacking will be bedrooms, all of the apartments being intended for daytime use merely—a fact, which, nevertheless, will not bar occupants from utilizing their quarters for sleeping purposes if they wish. The two buildings, which are to be of white marble, will be exactly alike in respect to their exterior, and will not differ much so far as their interior is concerned. Flanking the capitol at either end, they will form with the latter a harmonious architectural whole, the great dome dominating the group as the central feature. It would suffice, then, to give a description of one, in order to convey a satisfactory idea of both—save for one or two differences, relating particularly to the number of rooms. In the southern flats, allotted to the lower house, there will be 410 rooms—one for each representative. On the other hand, in the northern flats the amount of space (comprising the whole of three floors) will be occupied by 99 apartments. Now, at the present time there are in the house 391 members and delegates; so that 19 rooms will be left over for a future margin. In the senate there are 90, so that quarters for additional senators from possible future use are available. But, it will be observed, the number of senators makes it practicable to supply them with much more commodious quarters and, while each representative will have only one room, there will be for each senator an apartment in the proper sense of the word, comprising a room for himself, a slightly smaller room for his secretary, and a bathroom. These senatorial apartments will be very handsomely decorated and furnished. A small army of uniformed messengers will be at hand to furnish the requisite service, and, with private staircases and private elevators for the exclusive use of the wearers of the toga, the whole outfit will be of the most comfortable, not to say luxurious description. Furnished private apartments in a white marble palace, with rent and all sorts of incidentals paid for by the government, are not by any means to be sneezed at, so to speak. In earlier days, when more simple manners preyed, congressmen were content to rub along with fewer comforts and conveniences. Though the capitol was a much smaller building than old-day, the space it afforded was made more open, for committee rooms and all other legislative purposes. But congress, course, has grown numerically, and, therefore, the capitol has been likewise greatly expanded, the wants of members of both houses have multiplied. For a good many years past every senator has insisted upon having his private suite, and, the committee rooms in the senate wing being too few, the Malty building across the street, has been occupied for the purpose. Meanwhile it has seemed to many representatives that they were not getting their share of the pie, as it were, and so they have insistently pushed a movement for the erection of a building outside, which would contain suitable quarters for themselves. Thus it was that eventually $5,000,000 was appropriated to put up the two great apartment houses here described—the senate naturally insisting that the upper house should not be left out. "We are a most wasteful and extravagant nation," said the Barnard college girl as she sprinkled damp tea leaves over a rug, preparing to sweep it. "This is what we do with our tea leaves. Then we throw them away. In England many of the well-to-do families dry the tea leaves and sell them to the grocers, who sell them to the poor people in the neighborhood." Quite a Mouthful. "But," said the real estate man, "you shouldn't let this bargain get away from you. Why don't you argue the thing out with your wife?" "No use," replied Meckley; "my wife has stubbornitions against it. The moment I opened my mouth she'd put her foot down and——" "The ideal! I should think you'd choke to death." "The good die young." "What makes you think so?" "You have passed middle age, HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? THE APPEAL, A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY ADAMS BROS.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1907 SCHURZ SPOKE THE TRUTH. Carl Schurz said: "Here is the crucial point: There will be a movement either in the direction of reducing the Negroes to a permanent condition of serfdom—the condition of the mere plantation hand, 'alongside of the mule,' practically without any rights of citizenship—or a movement in the direction of recognizing him as a citizen in the full sense of the term." Just what Mr. Schurz predicted has actually come to pass. The whole south is engaged in a concerted and vicious effort to establish serfdom. No southern legislature meets without the introduction of bills trending in that direction; segregation of school-funds, degrading the schools for Afro-Americans, Jim-crow laws and grandfather clauses, and importation of foreign labor. NOT SO VILE AS PAINTED. Even If the Airo-American were as vile a wretch as he is represented to be, by the satanic press, he could console himself by reading the white newspapers and finding out how good our white brethren themselves are. A. B. ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Our Martyred President, the Great Emancipator The New York Sun throws some light upon that point. It says: "We begin by secret debauchery in business methods. We corrupt our common carriers. We buy, by corruption, infamous advantages over our competitors in business. We ruin thousands', and, thriving, our lust for lawless gain grows by what it feeds on. We retort on the blackmail of legislators by buying legislatures, so that the infection of our morals and our methods taints the whole body politic. Everywhere the destroying canker spreads; it invades all ranks, vitilifies the moral sense and distorts the national perspective of right and wrong." No one accuses the Afro-American of doing all those bad things and perhaps he will refrain even corrupted by the evil example of the white man. backbone or the witness veracity to get it beaten. The gambling that goes into rooms, and in which take part, must be judicial circuit. Judge Fite, in this a good deal of light utilities, as they prevail and upon the way they tended in that section. can, with impunity, a drink whiskey, and do scandalous things and does nothing. But let can be caught at such he goes to the st. That is the main reason of Afro-American of that of the whites. THE POST KNOWS A FEW THINGS. The Memphis Commercial-Appeal gives it to the New York Evening Post as follows: The New York Evening Post says that the prosperity of the South depends on the Negro. If the Post knew anything about the section which it so persistently slanders, it would never dare make such an absurd statement. The Negro is almost entirely a laborer. He performs as a rule the crudest possible service, such as cotton-picking, digging ditches and so on. His place as a laborer could be easily filled. Now it happens that THE APPEAL man "knows something about that section for that is where he was born and spent much of his life; and he rises to remark that what the Post says has a very large amount of truth in it. He has seen with his own eyes, not once but several times all Memphis thrown into convulsions by a strike of the Afro-American roustabouts on the steamboats, and has scan the whole business of a good-sized city not very far from Memphis utterly paralyzed, because the Afro-American residents of the city had been scared into the woods by the predictions of a crazy prophetess. The Post knows a plenty about the section and tells the exact truth THE SOCIETY WOMAN GAMBLER. Judge Fite, of Cartersville, Ga., has given strong instructions to a grand jury impaneled to investigate the conditions existing in his bailiwick. He said: "To my mind a man that gambles in a parlor is just as guilty as a Negro that shoots craps. Any one who plays a game of chance for a stake, be it money or a chafing dish, is as guilty as a Negro that plays craps. I want you gentlemen to investigate the question of social gambling closely. I have brought this matter before several grand juries, but they have either not had the FREDERICK DOUGLASS "The Old Man Eloquent" the Anniversary of Whose Birth Surred Last Wednesday. backbone or the witnesses lacked the veracity to get it before the court. The gambling that goes on in drawing-rooms, and in which society women take part, must be stopped in my judicial circuit." Judge Fite, in this charge, throws a good deal of light upon social conditions, as they prevail in the south and upon the way the law is administered in that section. Society women can, with impunity, and do gamble, drink whiskey, and do various other scandalous things and the grand jury does nothing. But let an Afro-American be caught at such practices and off he goes to the stockade, or pen. That is the main reason why the number of Afro-American convicts exceeds that of the whites. THE RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH. The Afro-Americans of Chicago have been lately censured very severely for trying to restrict the privilege of free speech; and the arguments were so convincing that, as the Chicago Chronicle reports: "Some scores of people gathered in a hall the other day and welcomed back to Chicago a man who has been spending some time in the penitentiary for sending obseuse matter through the mails. These people loudly applauded the returned prisoner when he declared that he meant to repeat his offense. They talked loudly about the right of free speech and a free press. What they really meant is that everybody must join them in a roll on the muck heap." And by the way, even in the enlightened south, some highly enlightened preachers are trying to prevent the presentation of Romeo and Juliet in the strictly moral city of Chattanooga. So it seems that there is some limit to the right of a crank to scatter arrows, frebrands and death. If there is not, there ought to be. IS THE EDITOR A YANKEE? The Columbia State, a South Carolina journal, says: "Discreditable as the record is, there is yet, as we have said, signs of encouragement and hope in it. Our mobs are not bloodthirsty, not quite so inhuman. A strong effort for law and order, a stern facing and crushing of the mob spirit, public condemnation of all men who, like Senator Tillman, keep affame the passions of the mob, and prompt and surer action on the part of the courts—and lynching will be stamped out in the South, and our people will be cleansed of the murderous shedding of blood." Which suggests the inquiry: "Is the editor of that paper a Cape Cod Yankee?" Gen. Kaulbars, the Governor of Odesa, highly commends the murders of that place and a few Atlanta ministers do the same with their mob murders. AN APPEAL For Funds for the Proposed Frederick Douglass Memorial. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., February 9, 1907—It is now nearly twelve years since Frederick Douglass, to whom the Alc. knight has more than to any other man of the race, for the part he took in securing the emblem of the slaves, died in Washington. His home at Anacostia, in the suburbs of Washington, still remains, however, and an effort is now being made to preserve him with its memories and traditions and man made a permanent memorial to Douglass and the Afro-Americans. An association, known as the Freedick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association, has been formed to effect this purpose. The people of our town have a rare opportunity to honor the memory of Frederick Douglass and to show their respect for the man, who during the trying times before and after the war, embodied in his own life, more than any other man of our race, the aspirations and the cause of the Afro-Americans, who were taken by the officers of the Memorial, to secure the comparatively small sum of money amounting to some $4,400 and interest necessary to clear off the mortgage on the property and to secure the property for all time to the memory of Frederick Douglass of the United States. We hope to make Cedar Hill to the Afro-Americans who mount Mount Vernon is to the whites. All of this can be accomplished if every member of the race would contribute, at once, a small sum of money and send it to me by Post Office order, check, or otherwise, as soon as this appeal is read. I am making this appeal by the officers of the Frederick Douglas Memorial and Historical Association, and with the approval and sympathy of Mr. Douglas' immediate family. Now is the time, when Mr. Douglas' birth is being celebrated and talked of in all the news, and the race to show its love for Douglas not only in words, but in deeds. I shall hope to receive, within the next few days this money, which can be sent in sums of twenty-five cents up. Each contributor will receive a receipt for the money he sends. After the money has been received, the gage. I am sure steps will be taken to put the place in condition to serve the purposes mentioned. The following letter, written to me by the officers of the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association, will make the situation clear: Washington, D.C., December 17, 1906. Dear Mr. Washington: There is an encumbrance of fifty-four hundred dollars ($5400), bearing $400,000 annually against the Douglass property. This property consists of about four- CHITO DR. BOOKER T.

It is the opinion of experts that when the Government completes the new bridge and the reclamation of the flats, this property will be worth its actual worth is now $1,900 an acre. It is exempt from taxes by the act of Congress incorporating the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association. The Association needs at least the $5,400 to lift the mortgage. In the course of time about nine acres of land would be cut out for building lots and sold, and with the proceeds of such sale Cedar Hill could be endowed with ample funds to meet the wants of the Douglass Memorial Association in perpetuity.

"Who was that farmer whose beard you trimmed?" asked the man on the second chair. "Trimmed!" echoed the man on the third chair. "I didn't trim it. I pruned it." Expensive Flattery.

Phone N. W. Main 1898-J. Fighting Tuberculosis. The exhibition to open in Armory Hall Saturday evening and to continue nine days worth attending. We give consumption to others and not allow others to give it to us is a very important matter. Lessons are being given in many ways these days teaching us how to accomplish this. If we will, we will learn from this disease, and thus in a comparatively short time, it must die out. No new cases of consumption can arise except from old ones. It is known now that the stories concern the disease, and that most of the disease are not founded on facts. The purpose of the Exhibition to be held in Armory Hall from the 16th to the 24th of this month, is to emphasize strongly again how to keep free from consumption and also how it weaves into the health. The Exhibit consists of models of tents and sanitary buildings, photographs, colored pictures and stereoception views showing the value of out door life. The Exhibition has been produced in New York, Chicago, Milwaukee, Chicago, San Antonio and other cities. It is clear that it has been highly productive of good. It is free to all who attend and the success depends upon the size of the attendance. There is nothing technical about the affair, nothing obnoxious to the sight, nothing dangerous. There will be a lot of nothing for sale, nothing: advertised. It is a humanitarian educational movement. The Exhibition will be open from 10 A. M. to 10 P. M. week days and from 1 P. M. to 6 P. M. Sundays. A 2 o'clock and 4 o'clock, and a demonstration hours. St. Paul is very fortunate in having the Exhibition come here. "A Night on a Southern Plantation."

Only Three Specimens of Lo's Rock Carving Have Been Found. One of the three known examples in the United States of the famous Indian "sculpture" on two of the immense rocks which form the "great falls" of the Connecticut river at Betel Falls has been completely obliterated, not a trace of the marking which recorded some important event in the history of the aborigines being left. The sculpture was a favorite subject of discussion for antiquarians and developed much controversy as to the manner and time in which it was made. When first discovered it consisted of a group of sixteen or eighteen variously ornamented heads plainly cut into the rocks. The main piece of work was shown on a flat space about fifteen feet wide and six feet high, and consisted of four heads with a pair of with a piece of numerous heads without any decoration. On the other stock was one large head with at least eight rays, this head being fourteen inches across at the forehead. There may have been originally also an inscription, but if so it had become obliterated by the action of the water years ago. The markings were supposed to have represented a victory at or near Bellows Falls by four bands and their chiefs, under one principal chief. The fact that the action of the battle was supposed to have occurred on the rocks a hundred years ago indicates to not a few that much more of the record must have disappeared previously. ODD WAY TO COOL WATER. Nicaraguan Woman Has Process That Involves. Shrieve. Labor. When a native woman of one of the broiling hot little villages of interior Nicaragua wants to cool some water she sets about it in a way little calculated to cool herself. The average native woman looks frail and listless, but there is no suspicion of listlessness about her process of water cooling. She fills a half-gallon carthenware jar about two-thirds full. The jar is made of baked clay and, not being glazed, is practically porous, so that it soon becomes moist on the outside. By means of two leather straps firmly attached to the neck of the jar the woman causes the same to rotate swiftly in the air. The mouth is wide open, but centrifugal action keeps the water sufficiently cooled as exhibited by the woman is marvelous. When the operator thinks the water is sufficiently cooled she stops the movement by a dexterous twist of her wrist and hands the jar to the man who has been waiting. It is said by this process tepid water can be reduced to the temperature of a cool mountain spring. Slow as Snails. At a district council meeting a member protested vigorously against the lethargy shown in commencing works which, he declared were sorely needed. A "sume" ensued, and the chairman tried to pour oil on the troubled water. "Mr. — must remember," said he, "that Home wasn't built in a day." "I know it wasn't," retorted the protesting member, "and if this committee had had the work to do it wouldn't be built yet." Literally Speaking.

"It must be very monotonous for a man to be able to bet $5,000 or $10,000 on a horse race without caring whether he loses it or not." "You are charged with carrying a revolver. What do you say?" "And where is your valise?" "I always leave it at home." Didn't Want Much. "You are always wanting something," enwelled the acre millionaire. thing," growled the aged millionaire. "Oh, I don't know," rejoined his young wife. "Since our marriage I have had only one wish ungratified." "And what is that?" he asked. "That I were a widow," she replied. Everything in Proportion Brown—Say, what kind of a pailchute is that over there? Where do you put the letters? Apartment House Janitor — That ain't no mail chute, sport! That's the elevator shaft!

Guild, pastor of the Wesley Methodist church, one of the largest and most fashionable churches in the city, announced through the daily press, that on Sunday evening Feb. 10 he would discuss the race problem; he would talk about the little short of disgraceful for a northern minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Ben Tillman, Vardaman, or John Sharp Williams would have said no more. He said that "the enactment of the 15th Amendment was a calamity and must be repealed." He said that "Civil War were not worth the cost of blood and treasure" that he "was opposed to the social equality of the races in every form." That the Negro was naturally and innately inferior to the white man—that northern people hated the Afro-American as much as the white people; that people should keep their hands off the soil in the south and let Southerners solve it. They knew how. Only a Afro-American were present and most of them got up and walked out before the conclusion of Dr. Guild's address The APPEAL representative had the chance to remain through the entire war. The Afro-American was Wesley church and is going to California. The Afro-Americans in this nec of the woods will welcome the departure of Dr. Guild, but God pity "Jaws" when the Doctor reaches California, for this alleged disgrace of them and lowly Nazarene who steal heaven to serve the devil in will not.

(None genuine without use) Charles Ford Park 70 W Main Street, Chicago, IL Agents Nashville, TN ON AN ARKANSAS RAILROAD. Wreck, Though No Uncommon Thing, Likely to Cause Engineer Trouble. A Western railroad man tells of a road in Arkansas built long ago, a road that had all the weaknesses to which neglected systems are exposed. The ballast was thin, the grades heavy and the ties rotten. Nearly all passengers traveling by this road provided themselves with accident policies, although as a matter of fact there was not much danger, as the trains were not given to sprinting, and the regular accidents used to occur without serious results. Trainmen had by long practice learned when to jump, and the passengers by following their example fared just as well. The fastest train went at the rate—when the wind was not unfavorable—of ten miles an hour and so was called the Little Rock express. One day the Little Rock express jumped the track and went tearing into a cornfield. While the rest of the trainmen were sitting in the shade waiting for the wreck train the conductor came up, saying to the engineer: "Bill, I am afraid you're in for it this time. I miss my guess if you don't get fired for this." "Ah, 'gwan'! exclaimed Bill, "it wasn't my fault; it was the fault of the rotten old road. Besides, we get derailed on an average of three times a week. The superintendent wouldn't know what to think if we kept the track for ten days running." "That's all right, Bill," rejoined the conductor, "but you're off the wrong way. So long as you keep on the right of way it doesn't matter much, but we have no business in this man's corn field, and you know it." NEW IDEA OF CONSUMPTION. London Doctor Says the Disease is Primarily Derived From Cattle. A London physician, Dr. W. Picket Turner, who has made a first-hand study of the disease for many years, advances the theory that the medical world is attacking the problem of consumption by an utterly false route. His view, briefly stated, is that tuberculosis is an animal disease primarily derived, in all cases, from cattle. It belongs, he says, to the mycotic group of diseases, diseases in which the original source of infection is a plant. Bovine cattle derive tuberculosis from timothy and other allied grasses by natural affinity. Man acquires the disease by ingestion or inoculation, never by inhalation. It is not hereditary; neither is there any predisposition to it in the individual. The bacillus in a state of nature is saprophyte, feeding on decay of the vegetable world. But the bacillus becomes pathogenic—capable of causing disease—in cattle when they are deprived of actinism or the property of the chemical rays in sunlight. It would, if all this be true, become reasonable to assume that by restoring actinism to cattle the bacillus would again become a saprophyte, in which case consumption would be extirpated. An Authority on Finance. Here is a story about a member of congress well known for his knowledge of questions of finance. This wise man was approached by a reputable looking man, who said, with a deferential but not servile manner, "Excuse me, sir, are you not Mr. Blank?" "I believe you are well informed upon all financial questions?" "My friends and the Press are kind enough to say so." "You have given much attention to the subject, I think?" "More than to anything else." "And no doubt you could give a satisfactory answer to almost any questions I might ask?" The member saw that he was being "interviewed," and wished to say something that would look well in print. "Perhaps I could, if it were in the power of any man," he answered. "Well, I have a question in finance that I should be greatly pleased if you would answer to my satisfaction." "Very good. What is it?" "Will you lend me five dollars for a day or two?" The congressman produced the five dollars. "By George!" he said, afterwards, "he could have caught me for fifty just as well, if he had only known it!" Skid-addled. The truthful motorman was relating his experience to a group of cronies assembled in the bar parlor of the "Blue Anchor." "The most curious experience I ever had in the way of skidding," he remarked, "was when the old caravan backed into the window of a provision shop and landed among a pile of eggs. You should have seen those eggs!" "Smashed to smithereens, of course," chimed in a listener. "Education helps a man to make his way in the world." "Yes," answered the man who always sneers; "there is no doubt that a little football experience helps out on a crowded street car." Force of Habit.

Overshrewed lawyers often furnish their adversaries with weapons, and you see this tree that has been mentioned by the roadside?" an advocate inquired. "Yes, sir, I saw it very plainly." "It was conspicuous, then." The witness seemed puzzled by the new word. He repeated his former assertion. "What is the difference," sneeered the lawyer, "between plain and conspicuous?" But he was hoist with his own pettard. The witness innocently answered: "I can see you plainly, sir, among the other lawyers, though you are not a bit conspicuous." In another instance a blow directed against the character of a witness forcibly recoiled. "You were in the company of these people?" he was asked. "Of two forcibly." "Friends! Two thieves, I suppose you mean." "That may be true." was the dry retort; "they are both lawyers." The blow that destroys the effect of an adverse examination is occasionally more the result of accident than of conscious effort. In a trial not long ago a very simple witness was in the box and after going through his ordeal was ready to retire. One question remained: "Now, Mr. —, has not an attempt been made to induce you to tell the court a different story?" "A different story to what I have told, sir?" "Yes; is it not so?" "Upon your oath, I demand to know who the persons are who have attempted this." "Well, sir, you've tried as hard as any of 'em." was the unexpected answer. It ended the examination. HIS STEAM-HEATED FLAT. Disadvantages of Going by the Calendar. Not by the Weather. "They tell me," said the flat dweller, "that the heat is turned on every year on Oct. 15, that that is the custom everywhere; and I suppose they must turn it on that day even if the thermometer is 3,000. "But I hope to live to see the day when the turning on of the heat in flat houses will be regulated by the weather and not by the calendar. In the early fall we always get a few days when the air is raw and uncomfortable, not freezing, to be sure, but cold enough in the house, without exercise, to make everybody shrink and shiver with discomfort. Such damp, cold days coming right after the warmth of summer are as distressing as so many days, without heat, of winter would be. But no heat, because they don't turn on the heat until October 15! "And so on such days we must shrink and shiver. We live in an age of reform and some things have been accomplished already. I hope to live to see the day when the turning on of the heat in flat houses will be governed not by the calendar but by the weather!" Arkansas Legislator Tells of an Ague Remedy He Discovered. Senator Butt of the Arkansas senate had just finished a little tale about feeding morphine to a pointer pup and watching him dream when Representative D Ross Sittal said: "Senator, your dog reminds me of my hen. Needing quinine one day, as we often do in the bottom, I mixed up an ounce of the drug with molasses and rolled it into pills. Leaving the stuff to dry on the front porch, I went into the house. "Returning, I saw the last of my pills swallowed by my hen. "Of course I thought her silly head would burst wide open. She simply commenced to cackle and has been laying two eggs a day ever since. And do you know, senator, those eggs are the best chill tonic on the market. One of them taken internally will knock the spots from any case of malaria in the state, and shaking ague can't stand before 'em an hour after they are eaten. I keep that hen dosed, I do." Bridge Designer's Odd Wish. Henley bridge, the condition of which, owing to wear and tear, is causing some anxiety to the corporation, was designed about 1786 by Thomas Hayward, who expressed the wish that he might die ere the work was commenced, and that his body might be interred under the center pier. He died before the bridge was completed, but was buried in the church yard close by. Relative Cost. Eminent Cubans were in counsel. Was it to be peace or war? "War is a necessity," growled a veteran. "But it comes high," protested a conservative. "High nothing," retorted the veteran. "Have you figured any of the cost of boarding a mass of Yankee peacemakers?" Just as the debate verged on acrimony there was a tremor of the island. "Ha," they remarked in chorus, "Taft has arrived," and knew their destiny was in other hands. Cold Intellectuality. In leading young Mr Rockefeller's Bible class last Sunday Rev. Dr. Aked told a story apropos of the cold intellectuality of Emerson. When a narrow-minded minister said to a more liberal minister that Emerson "had surely gone to perdition" the latter replied: "If he has gone there you may be sure that he lowered the temperature." Next! "How do you persuade women to marry you?" we asked of Bluebeard. "Oh, they do it to reform me, don't you know." Clear writers, like clear fountains, do not seem so deep as they are; the turbid looks most profound.—Landor.
