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-It its correspondents are able and energetic. M. B. B. VOL. 24. NO. 22. BOER-BE REW JOSIAH STRONG DD Gen. Francois Joubert Pleman, now a Boer leader and now a British subject, gave personal assurance that his mission to America is not to cloak plans for an armed invasion of Portuguese West Africa. When Gen. Pleman was confronted with evidence connecting him with activities secretly directed against Portuguese territory in West Africa, he admitted that he had contemplated the idea of a force of adventurers to take possession, but asserted that he abandoned the idea a few months ago because of representations from the British foreign office, which refused to sanction his enterprise. Gen. Pleman added that no part of the money he now is raising in America for the suppression of the slave trade in Africa will be diverted from its proper object. Among the Boers now in America there are some who have failed to convince themselves that Gen. Pleman has abandoned his plans for Jameson raid" upon Portuguese West Africa, and that his argument that it is not to be expected that the British slander office would give his approval to any such fillhustering expedition. If, however, the British flag were once raised over the Portuguese possessions in Africa, they say. NEW AM M. JEAN DOESZKE Miss Charlotte Lund of Oswego, who has been studying for the last three years with M. Jenn de Reszke, made a successful debut in Paris and was hailed by the American colony as a promising new American soprano. A granddiece of Ole Bulk, a famous vichitist, Miss Land has a hereditary basis for her talent. She always had leanings toward a musical career and played the organ in a church in Oswego, her native place. A famous composer, hearing her sing in Florence, decided that her voice was worth cultivating, and she thereupon began to study vocal music. She remained in Italy for two years for that purpose and then went back to America and sang in church choirs in Boston, Philadelphia and New York, taking part occasionally in concerts. Then Miss Luna was struck with the desire to sing in grand opera, and she went to Paris two years ago to study with M. Jen de Reskize. She made rapid progress and gave several Girls Taught Life Saving. Girls Taught Life Saving. A course in life saving has been instituted among the women students of Columbia university for the purpose of making them as adept as men in rescuing drowning persons. They receive the regular life saving drill, including the grips and breaks, towling to shore and artificial respiration. A fully dressed girl is thrown into the water at one end of the swimming pool, and other girls are obliged to rescue her from the opposite end and take her back, which is already done in five-seven seconds. This new departure in co-education has become immensely popular. Cactus Leaves and Mosquitoes. Cactus leaves may be used instead of oil for the extermination of mosquitoes, writes Consul Bishop of Palermo, Italy. They are now being used in Africa for the purpose. The leaves are pounded into a thin but sticky paste, and this is spread upon the surface of the stagnant pools. It acts just as oil does by forming a layer, through which the mosquito larvae cannot pass to obtain air, and esphyration results. M. GENERAL FRENCH JOURNAL THEAGE the imperial government might find itself compelled against its will to reach out a protecting arm or army. It is declared by men who profess to be familiar with Gen. Plenaar's plans that a force of five hundred men, fully equipped, with two Maxim-Nordfeld guns, is being arranged for and will be put in the field as soon as the total sum of $150,000 is raised. These weapons are essential and say that Gen. Plenaar's plans include the use of airships from which to drop explosives on the Portuguese forts and on any warships that might be in the harbor of St. Paul de Loanda, while an elaborate cable code for the transmission of military information in the guise of simple social messages has been compiled. While admitting that the plan which he says has been abandoned did contemplate the raising of such a force, Gen. Plenaar declares the airships and cable code are news to him, and doubtedly are fabrications of his enemies, the Portuguese, who are afraid to have him go back to Africa diligently misrepresent his intentions. In the meantime, Gen. Plenaar has organized in this country the "Angola league," on the letterheads of which appear the names of many prominent AMERICAN SOPRANO AND HER T MISS CHARLOT concerts in European capitals—in London, Brussels and Berlin. She will go. DIES AFTER ANTITOXIN. Father Took It as Precaution and Droped Dead. Fearful that the kiss he had given his little daughter yesterday morning, on leaving for work in Philadelphia, might have communicated diphtheria gerns to him, Ely Weitzel of No. 640 West Lafayette street rushed off to the office of Dr. S. N. Wiley here on learning that his house had been quarantined, and fell over dead after the physician had administered a preventive dose of antitoxin. Mr. Weitzel appeared in his usual good health before the administration of the drug, and explained to the doctor that he had kissed his five-year-old daughter, Ruth, who had been alling in the morning, the family not knowing the serious nature of her allment. After the drug had been injected, Mr. Weitzel observed to the doctor that "it did not hurt." He had about finished putting on his overcoat when he exclaimed: "Oh, my head hurts. I believe I am dying." He fell upon a couch, and in a few minutes was a corpse. THE APPEAL. clergymen of New York. The announced purpose of the league is to raise funds for the suppression of the slave trade in Angola, by the establishment of missionary stations throughout the Portuguese territory. According to Gen. Pleinaar, the league has already several thousand members, who have contributed large amounts of money. toward its purpose, the league must be collected, is not even collected by him, but its cases sent direct to the president and acting treasurer of the league, Rev. Dr. D. J. McMillan, pastor of the New York Presbyterian church. He asserts that he receives no salary or compensation of any kind for his work in helping to raise the money, but is traveling on his own resources with the sole object of trying to make Portuguese West Africa a fit place for civilized persons to live in. Among those who have shown their confidence in Gen. Pleinaar by permitting the use of their names as officers and committee members of the Angolan missionary service, Rev. Josiah Strong, D.

According to recent experiments by Stanillas Tetard, a widely known French agriculturist, wheat and other cereals can be protected against the ravages of crows, which are particularly fond of the grain when its sprouts are just pushing above the ground, by treating the seeds before they are sown with a mixture of coal tar, petroleum and phenic acid. This treatment, which delays the growth of the seed for a day or two, but causes no damage, but which disappears after the sprouts have attained a larger growth, when they are no longer subject to attack. Brides Older Than Bridesgroom with bridegrooms. The vital statistics prepared by City Clerk Entwisle of Salem shows that during 1907 there were 479 marriage licenses issued and 396 solemnized in the city, which is eighteen fewer than the previous year. The oldest bridegroom was sixteen and the oldest bride fifty, while the youngest bridegroom was sixteen and the youngest bride fifteen. Seventy-one brides were older than the bridegrooms. Diplomacy as a Career For Young Americans The diplomatic career as a future for the young men of America is growing in favor every year in the minds of all thinking people, and politicians, business men and college professors unite in regarding its possibilities with interest. It will be well represented everywhere in the desire of every loyal American citizen, and the great majority are rapidly becoming alive to the fact that this is no longer a new country, for which excuses can be made on account of its youth, but a nation of well educated thoroughly well poised men, who are fitted to take their place among the older people, and who are accustomed by lack of knowledge in even the smallest details of court etiquette. The diplomatic career is therefore a career in the best sense of the word, but one in which to attain success there must be careful instruction. Is diplomacy only for the rich? would appear to be the question of the hour. Money is always of supreme importance in every career. But the lack of it does not make the life of a diplomat impossible. In England and other countries the younger sons turn to diplomacy as a career best suited to a gentleman without fortune, so why should not American young men aspire to the same state of affairs? but there are many perquisites, so it is said, and not more demands than come to the purse of any well born man in any business or profession. at the same time it would seem as though this were a business best of all suited for the sons of the enormously rich men. does not seem to be in it the prospect of any great financial future. The glories of success are, as it were, tentative, and for this reason the assurance of a well established bank account must leave the mind free from the intricate and mysterious affairs of state. It is no career for the idle mind, no career for the spendthrift, but a career for man of find man, unlimited tact, a judge of human nature and a passionately loyal American citizen, who is willing to sacrifice his own interests to the interests of his country; to realize that it is more than a success as a financier he will attain, but financial success is not to be included in his career; but would feel he had invested his capital wisely when he invests for his son in such a line of business. Political men of mark apparently appreciate the possibilities of the career for their sons, for it is said seniors highly appreciate the honor of placing their sons in diplomatic positions, and, in the Washington jargon, "who have the pull" to place them, and every year sees some name well known in the national affairs of this country which in the second generation is represented at some of the foreign legations—in a most minor post, it is true, but it is by beginning at the very bottom and slowly but surely moving upward that the coveted post of authority can be gained. No young man, no matter how wealthy he be, or how good may he be his backing, is a partner in a firm of whose business methods he is absolutely ignorant. He goes through a long course of probation, compared to which the long working at the diplomatic career seems absurdly easy in contrast. College men are much exercised at the moment over this subject of the diplomatic career, and all the universities of the country realize the importance of the question. There can be no doubt that the college education CHARLES RICHARDSON, First Secretary to Denmark. Ma (to her husband)—Oh, for good- ness sake, James, give him a ride on your back and see if it will keep him quiet.—Illustrated Bits. Wise is the man who knows what not to say, and remembers not to say it. counts for much, the college training for even more, and the necessary course of study that would seem to be part of the required initiative must perforce be simpler, less complex, to the college man whose mind has been more or less attuned to such interests than to the man who suddenly elects to become a diplomat, or who has the honor thrust upon him—in rare instances this last. The would-be aspirant for diplomatic honors—the college graduate, as has been said, has the advantage here—can apply to a school of diplomacy, a diplomatic college as it is sometimes termed in Washington, where there is a course of studies to be entered upon; but, if a college graduate, this should be obligatory. Application must be made to the bureau of the state department, the candidate stating his desire to become a diplomat and giving his qualifications. In return the would-be aspirant for honors receives a small pamphlet setting forth what is necessary to study and a number of questions to be answered. Then the must be an examination in international law. This can be taken else where, so it is said, and then, to quote one who knows, "pull" does the rest—pull, which in these days he must do that the candidate, his qualifications, and merits be properly presented to the London, Paris, Berlin, Rome and St. Petersburg must seem to possess especial attractions for the young men of to day, for among the names well known there are more enrolled at those embassies than elsewhere, although within the last twelvemonth there have been appointments to posts much further distant. Among recent departures for diplomatic posts of minor importance have been Steven Van Rensselaer, the son of the late Killeen Van Rensselaer, who is now president of the university, is to have the post of Secretary occupied by Francis Potter, who has been transferred to Paris, Seth Pierrepont, a nephew of Seth Low, a recent graduate of Columbia, a member of the well known Pierrepont and Stuyvesant families, has gone to CRAIG WADSWORTH.

HOW A DOCTOR CURED HIMSELF. The Novel Method He Adopted for Treating Tuberculosis Dr. F. J. Hilger returned to this city some three months ago—returned, his friends said, to die, says the Des Moines Register and Leader. And yet he has cheated the grim visitor. A tent, especially constructed, was procured. A house in the hill districts was rented, and Mrs. Hilger, the proposed dwelling doctor, drove to the proposed dwelling buildingwed by an expressman with the text. Into this ally dwelling the doctor, then seemingly face to face with JOHN RIDGELY CARTER, First Secretary United States Embassy, London. JOHN RIDGELY, CARTER, First Secretary United States Embassy, London. death, was placed. Soon the effect of the treatment was manifest. Living in the tent, his meals brought to him from the residence hard by by his wife, the oxygen began to build up the diseased tissues. At night, with no protection save the mans roof above, the doctor sleeps in the room, the house, and gradually the strange life began a bloom on his cheeks that had been foreign to them for over a year. His breathing seldom was stopped by the hacking cough as it had been prior to the trial of the open air treatment. The cure is regarded by his medical associates as well as the general public as marvelous. Plenty of sleep, strict attention to diet and the careful nursing of a devoted wife, together with undiluted and unstinted fresh air, are making Dr. Hilger a new man. In his few months' life out of doors he has gained almost twenty-five pounds in weight. No vestige of the cough now exists. He is coming into his own. He will be in condition to resume his practice in a few months. What all the nostrums known to medical science were powerless to do the ozone of the Iowa priaries has accomplished. Height of Land, Depth of Sea. The mean height of all the land now above the sea is referred to by Lyell as being 1,000 feet. The mean depth of the ocean is at least 12,000 feet, that is, it exceeds the height of the land twelve times. This is because the extreme heights of the land, although probably no less than the extreme depths of the sea, yet are exceptional heights, while the ocean maintains its depth over enormous areas. Owing to the fact that the surface of the ocean that of the land is as two and a half to one the ocean would accommodate the whole of land thirty times over were it all pitched into the ocean areas. Ruskin as a Chess Player. Many people have overlooked the fact that the Ruskin had the game of chess. Some of his letters reveal this interest. He was at one time a constant visitor to Maskelye and Cooke's entertainment, where he once played a game with Payne, and he tried his skill against other chess automata. "Indeed, it was a matter, pride to him," say his latest editors, "that he had obtained more than one victory over the famous Mphisto at the time when it was performing at the Crystal Palace with considerable eclat. He was a vice president of the British Chess association." Johnny, why don't you ask a good boy like your brother Willy?" the mother was sternly admonishing her naughty son.

Lawmakers Unable to Agree on Suitable Allegory with Which to Finish the Superb Decorations of the Great Building. It is understood that another effort will be made to complete the frieze in the rotunda of the capitol at Washington—a work which has been neglected for many years. U.S. CAPITOL When Constantine the Brumidii, the Italian artist, designed the decorations for the rieuse he chose 15 historic incidents, beginning with Columbus and ending with the discovery of gold in California in 1849. These incidents were: Cortes entering the temple of the sun in Mexico; Pizarro with the horse, progressing in the conquest of Peru; the burial of De Soto in the Mississippi river; the rescue of Capt. John Smith by Pocahontas; the disembarkation of the Pilgrim Fathers; Penn's treaty with the Indians and the settlement of Pennsylvania; the industrial colonization of the New England states; Gen. Glethorpe and the Muscoe; the settlement of Georgia; the Battle of Lexington the Declaration of Independence; the surrender of Cornwallis; the death of Turcumsh; the American army entering the City of Mexico; the discovery of gold in California in 1849. These are the painted incidents as they stand to-day, and there remains room for one large or two smaller additions. The ugly gap in the great dome of the rotunda of the national capitol mars its beauty to a marked degree. For more than a dozen years the guides have told visitors that the great paintings would be finished durably, and for a dozen years or more the rough scaffolding hung in place, useless, a blot on the beauty of the rotunda. Inability of the lawmakers to agree on a suitable allegory to complete the cycle of events represented has been the drawback in this really necessary matter, and all the begging and pleading on the part of the architect that the work be completed has availed nothing. The rotunda of the capitol is the most active feature. It is usually the first building that sees the building which a visitor sees. The renovation of the dome and the rotunda waits on the completion of the frieze and in its present condition there are evidences of bad housekeeping. The rotunda is 95 feet 6 inches in diameter, and 180 feet above its marble floor hangs the canopy of the 9,000,000 pound dome, which gives the capitol its imposing appearance. Around this dome are galleries, to which thousands of visitors climb every month to get a nearer and better view of the decorations. It is pointed that but for the fear of engendering sectional feelings designs would have been agreed upon years ago. An illustration of the surrender at Appomatto, the emancipation , proclamation or anything touching any of the historical events of the civil war would not meet with the approval of those who espoused the lost cause or who lived in the south. That this has been the cause of the deadlock there can be but little question, and members of the committee who lean toward the cause of the civil war "Why take an incident of the civil war? Nowhere in the frieze will you find a picture of George Washington, and the Father of His Country ought not to be left out in the picturing of the history of America." Congressional Bell Signals. On the floor of the house the doorkeeper has his desk and it is here that the bells are struck that give notice of the needs of congress. One bell calls for tellers, when the house is in committee of the whole; two bells indicate a call for yea and nay; three declare a recess; with four bells the red light over the door goes out; five bells mean a call to the house; the seregantastam is supposed to summarily arrest any member on sight and bring him in, whether on foot or horseback; any member who is not present at a call of the house is subjected to a severe reprand. Looking down the corridor, the going out of the red light gives a curious suggestion of the tail end of a passenger train dashing through a tunnel. While the red light burns bright and clear it means that congress is under way, but when the and go out, out, then the visitors understand that the wheels of legislation have ceased to revolve.—National Mazazine.

TO PRESERVE WHITE SU- PREMACY. "The Democratic party has had complete control of the State government since 1900, and yet, in the conduct of the election, Republicans have an equal voice with the Democrats, the number of Republican election judges and clerks being exactly equal to that of the Democratic judges and clerks. And, more than this, the Republican officials are selected by the Republican party and are bona-fide Republicans, and not one vote can be counted anywhere in the State unless a Republican official assents to it. There are laws on our statute books intended to disfranchise illiterate blacks in certain counties and to preserve white supremacy, but their constitutionality is not questioned, and they are defended as necessary to the prosperity and good government of those sections." The Baltimore Sun gives the foregoing statement of political conditions in Maryland. But such conditions do not generally prevail even in those states whose laws provide for an equal division of judges and clerks among the political parties. In most of them the Democrats select the so- J. THE LATE SENATOR HANNA. Monument to Senator M. A. Hanna Unveiled at Cleveland, Secretary is Leading Guest at Dedication. P. called Republican officers, and they know whom to select. "A WHITE MAN'S PARTY." Judge Ryan, of North Carolina, in a recent interview said that the Republican party of that state is now a "white man's party," which fact induces THE APPEAL to say something in regard to that kind of a party. That kind of a party began its career by inducing Judge Taney to issue the infamous Droff Scott decision; not a single Afro-American had anything to do with promulgating that dictum. It was a white man's party that fired upon Fort Sumter; not a single Afro-American had anything to do with exploit. It was a white man's party which instigated the murders of Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley; not a single Afro-American had anything to do with those horrible crimes. It was a white man's party which instigated the Atlanta mob-murders and all of the rest of the Southern outrages on Afro-Americans, Italians, Japanese and Chinese. It has been the function of the Republican party to fight a white man's party from its earliest moment of existence. It was instituted for that very purpose. HE CUTS NO FIGURE Governor Noel of Mississippi recently gave out the following guff to a Washington reporter: "Mississippi is governed by the white man, although the majority of the population is composed of Negroes. The Negro cuts no figure in our politics, and he is perfectly satisfied with existing conditions. The 'jim crow' law is in operation and works to perfection. There are few white people who can govern the Negro, and we are one of them, and we intend to govern in our State." Just how he found out that the Afro-American "is perfectly satisfied with existing conditions" he fails to state. It would seem a priori that it is a very easy matter to govern any people who are perfectly satisfied with existing conditions, but the governor strongly intimates that it is—that it is a thing that few white people can do. We should like for the governor to state how the white Republicans, who are in the same box with the Afro-Americans, feel about existing conditions. Are they also "perfectly satisfied?" WHY THE PARTY EXISTS The Charleston News and Courier thus picks the issue: "The Democratic party should pitch its battle upon tariff reform. One great, strong, popular issue, appealing to every man, and woman, too, in the Democratic party and two-thirds of the men and their wives among the Republicans, well and truly presented by a Democratic candidate, is enough upon which to win a fight." Go to, brother. Ever since this has been a country, on the tariff question there has been, substantially a solid North against a solid South. Thousands of Northern Democrats are as strenuous high tariff men as "Pig-Iron Kelly" himself. The best policy for the Democratic party is to rally around those eminent statesmen Heflin, Jeff Davis, Vardaman and Tillman, and help them to bombard the Afro-American. That's what the party is for. It is an encouraging fact that the dark-skinned races all over the world are beginning to assert their means to secure these rights. Among those means is the boycott which rights and to use every available is being used with telling effect in various countries. China is maintaining a boycott against Japanese goods, which is doing great damage to the business interests of the latter country. Over in India, the same means are being tried thus according to a well-informed writer: "The writer of the article recently met a number of merchants who had large dealings in Manchester cotton, and in consequence were generally shunned." Barbers would not shave them, milkmen would not sell them milk, friends would not come to their daughters' marriages." Rev. (?) Robert A. Ellwood, who attained some motority by advocating the lynching of an Afro-American who was subsequently burned at the stake in Delaware, is again in the lime light. He has been expelled from the pastorate of the First Presbyterian church at Leavenworth for making love to a choir girl albeit he has a wife and two children. He ought to be given some of the same medicine he prescribes for others. Fire recently damaged Atlanta, Ga., to the amount of one million dollars. The cause of the disaster was that the fire apparatus was of the most antediluvian description. The Georgia intellect was too much occupied with grandfather clauses to think about grandfather fire apparatus. Hence! Gov. Haskell, of Oklahoma, recently issued a Thanksgiving Proclamation, the gorgeous rhetoric of which at once stamps him as an elocutionary tornado of the most appalling description. It is in the "House That Jack Built" style, and rivals the recent opera bouffe effort of Jeff Davis. Some of the people of their respective states are trying to keep Senators Bailey and Jeff Davis out of the Denver convention, an action to which THE APPEAL is unalterably opposed. Somebody has published a twelve-volume edition of the works of James Buchanan. We cannot image why he did it. MRS. MARY CHURCH TERRELL. Reappointed Member of the Washington, D.C., School Board. WELCOME TO DELEGATES. Chicago Preparing to Receive Afro-American Delegates. Afro-American citizens are preparing to give the Afro-American delegation the greatest time ever given to delegates and visitors to any previous national convention. Unquestionably, however, the most beautiful and enjoyable affair to be given is the week of the Convention, and possibly the greatest time ever given in Chicago for the social entertainment of the race—will be the band concert and full dress reception tendered by the officers and men of Illinois. Regiment on Thursday evening (until midnight) the "crack" event that went to Cuba during the Spanish-American War, and which, with Col. John R. Marshall in command, rendered service that won the highest encounters in the United States government. It is the only Afro-American regiment maintained by any State in the Union, and is regarded as one of the finest drilled, most capably officered and best disciplined regiments in the country. The First Republic Army is the largest army in the world has been engaged for the occasion. It is also planned to have an exhibition drill by the regiment, so that visitors from the North, East, South and West of Chicago and the State of Illinois have in the shape of Afro-American soldiers. It may be added that the Eighth is the only regiment in the land officered from colonel to corporal convention, and will be a matter of misplaced pleasure and interest to all to see them in action. The officers in full regimentals, beautifully-gowned women and distinguished Afro-American women from every country in the city in their dress, will make this function one that will go down in history as the greatest and handsomest reception ever given among Afro-American men and women of the country. It will take on truly national importance ladies are fairly on tiptoe of expectation in anticipation of its brilliancy. It is the desire of the officers and members of the regiment that every delegation of the convention receive an invitation, and it is requested by the management that all delegates and alternates send their name and address at once to the Marshal, 3630 Calumet Avenue, Chicago, IL to insure their receiving an invitation. MRS. MARY CH Reappointed Member of the W THE NATIONAL CONVENTION. Established Political Institution With No Laws but Its Own. The national convention is the most distinctly original American contribution to the art of government. It is a product of evolution and it has no legal status. The men who named the Constitution no longer own the constituting candidate; and, in fact, had heard of nominations. It was their intention that the electors should choose the President uninfluenced by popular passion or prejudice. There were no parties or party organization, and in fact, had no wisdom of the electors, who were to be chosen by the State in whatever manner the States pleased. Before Washington's administration had ended two parties had formed, and nominating machinery was soon made available by which the Congressmen of each party selected the candidate and the electors ratified this selection. Thus the legislative department virtually chose the Executive in spite of all the other departments to keep the departments independent. The Congressional caucus lasted until 1824, when the Jackson men bolted the nomination of Crawford. The overthrow of "King Caucus" was popularly regarded as the greatest political reform since the establishment of The early national conventions were hardly more than conferences, the first having been held in 1884 by supporters of Clay. There are thousands of men still living who were on their way to manhood before the national convention became an establishment political institution, with no laws governing its conduct. It was effective in enforcing its decrees as the government of any other nation. Indeed, more so, for while government is forever fouled, there is no case on record in which a Presidential elector ever refused to vote for the candidate nominated by the national convention of his party.

URCH TERRELL. Washington, D.C., School Board. der decision of the National Negro Business League, no Local League is now recognized as such unless it now recognized as such unless it holds a charter from the National Organization. Charters will be sent whenever requested by Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Corresponding Secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, on receipt of Post Office Money Order, or New York Draft to us once. Those interested in promoting business enterprises among the Afro-Americans are urged to secure chairs as early as possible and to have their Leagues represented at, the coming Baltimore session. Dr. Booker Washington, the President of the National Organization, recently gave utterance to the following statement in explanation of the purposes of the League: "The League is not a lodge; it pays no death benefits; it has no pass words, grifts, and is not 'fraternal.' It is an organization of Afro-American business men. HON. CHARLES W. ANDERSON. Alternate at Large from New York to Republican National Convention. It offers to its members the fellowship of the men among the race who have succeeded. It has no honors or dignities to bestow. It is not in politics and is not run by political methods. It recognizes that in a free country like ours it is the individual who counts and that it is in the competition and struggles of business that big men have been developed—men like Carnegie, Rockefeller, George Foster Peabody, Robert C. Ogden, etc. We have successful business men among us. We want to get them to know each other. As a race we have many special and peculiar business problems to settle. We want to find solutions to solve these business problems way and we want the best advice the best business men of the race can give us to assist in solving our special business problems. This is the purpose of the Business League. It has no other purpose. It does not seek to take the place of any other organization. It is like the organization of Afro-American physicians. Better than papers is a study of facts: How much business are we doing? How about credits? How can we improve our methods of selling, etc." Dewey Building, Boys Hall, Stone Hall, Girls Hall, Model Home ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, Atlanta, Ga.

Something out of the usual in Western melodrama is promised in A. H. Woods' latest production, "Deadwood Dick's Last Shot," which is underlined as the next attraction at the Grand for the week commencing tomorrow matinee at 2:30. The play, which is by Owen Davis, is in four acts and eight scenes, and as its title implies, is sensational, without being either improbable or lurid. It is an entertainment which should appeal to the most exacting tastes of any audience, because of its thorough characterization, plausibility of plot and the variety of actions comedy, oaths, thrills and heart throbs. It literally reeks of the joy of pictures of canyons, wales and trails of picturesque California, where the story is "Deadwood Dick" is an admirable Western gamble, who plunges himself into all sorts of peril and trying situations to save the girl he loves from her enemies. Dick faces death many times, but with that indomitable pluck so characteristic of the American youth, outwits those who would do him harm. The piece is staged in thorough up-to-date fashion, and besides has the services of a fine cast. The usual matinees will be Don't be too quick in criticising the decisions of the umpire, or in resenting some passing remark in the crowd.

MRS. W. J. WALKIN, SEN. I-Harriman, Tenn. Ford's Hair Pomade --- Suburbanite, However, Finally Remembered What He Forgot. "Wait a minute," said the suburbanite. "I've forgotten something." You bad I can't remember it. "My dear fellow, can't you see how impossible it is to remember what we forget or what we forget we've forgotten?" "That's all right, but what'll my wife say when I tell her I forgot to get what she told me to? And she'll still be sore if I tell her I didn't forget to get it, but that I had forgotten what I was to get. I can't tell her I knew I had forgotten to get what I had forgotten, but that I remembered I forgot, can I? She'll tell me I should have forgotten to forget it." "Oh, come on. Forget it." "You mean that I should forget that I forgot I had forgotten." But just then the car came along, and, as he took his seat near the stove, he remarked to his neighbor: "I remember now." "Remember what?" "I remember what I've forgotten." "Look at the impossibility of that proposition. How can you remember what you have forgotten, any more than you can forget what you remember?" "But I do remember. It was coffee. Can't you see how I've forgotten what I remember? And I remember what I forgot, too. And I remember what I had forgotten I had forgotten." Many Wolves in Upper Michigan. Estimates by the Federal Biological survey, to the effect that there are perhaps 200 timber wolves in upper Michigan, are declared by woodsmen to be far under the mark. There are fifteen counties in the peninsula, and there are wolves in every one of them, particularly in the great stretches of wilderness with which the region abounds. Probably as many as 500 wolves have been killed the last year it is figured; still there appears to be as many of the animals in the woods now as twelve months ago. The Luce county board recently approved the payment the recent bounties on thirty wolves, amounting at $30 a head to $900, and in Dickinson county bounties were paid on seventeen wolves and nineteen wild cats. Genius and Obesity. The annals of genius are filled to overflowing with the names of men who toiled and achieved fame under a full habit. Nothing can be more unjust than the give about "fat and folly" and fatness and indolence. Martin Luther was as fat as Calvin was thin; Ernest Renan's obesity did not obscure his insight and brilliance. Many writers and speakers have too long spoken invidiously of fatness, but the best retort we have been able to glean in our researches into this weighty subject is that of C. H. purgeon, the famous preacher. "People," said Spurgeon, "say I am fat. I am not fat. I am bone and flesh. My limbs, thank God, are amply clothed, and I am in my right mind." London's Last Private Garden. It is sad to hear that the last of the private gardens in the city of London is coming to an end. No. 4 Crosby square, with its beautiful old staircase and pleasant rooms, is to be pulled down. Ripe figs were gathered in the summer of 1893 from the fig tree on the wall, and other trees grew near the fountain in the middle of the garden. An 1850 edition of Murray's "London" states that the present houses in Crosby square were built in 1677. This was the year in which the Lady Mary was married to William of Orange. Woman Twenty Years Station Master. Though in almost every phase of the industrial life of the nation women are to be found competing with the sterner sex in the hurry and bustle of daily existence, Whippingham, a picturesque little isle of Wight village, is probably unique in having a woman station master. For just twenty years this station has been in the entire charge of Mrs. Merwood, a lady in whom the company has the utmost confidence. England's Largest Land Owners. The marquis of Stafford, who is in his twentieth year, is heir to the most extensive domain, if not the largest rent roll, enjoyed by any subject of King Edward. More than 1,000,000 acres in England and Scotland are under the lordship of his father, the duke of Sutherland, while the marquels of Breadalbane, who is probably the next largest propietor in the kingdom, does not own half that amount of land. Building Burned for 78 Days. Surrounded by an immense wall of ice, 8 to 10 feet thick, a fire in a five-story building in Troy, N. Y., filled with bales of cotton waste, defied the efforts of the fire department to extinguish it for 78 days, and on the last day took a combined force of fifteen streams of water to quench the flames.
