SCIENCE CONQUERS SEASICKNESS THE GEEBAR, FIRST VESSEL FITTED WITH SCHLICK GYROSCOPE. PHOTO LOWERING GYROSCOPE INTO THE GEEBAR. YACHT AND ITS LEPROUS PASSENGER VOL. 24. NO. 23. THE SEEBAR FIRST VIEW MIDDLED WITH COHICK GYROSCOPE. IMAG BY WILLIAM SCHMITZ LOW GYROSCOPE THE SEEBAR From European Library, M. Herr Otto Schick, a Hamburg shipbuilding engineer, and manager of the Germanischer-Lloyd, has, after lengthy experiments been able to adapt the gyroscope to a steamship with remarkable results in the direction of rolling in a seawater. Herr Schick, after a study of the principles of the gyroscope, came to the conclusion that the apparatus, if firmly built into the hull of a ship, would considerably decrease the rolling motion so disagreeable to people inclining to seasickness. Experiments made on small models absolutely confirmed this theory, but in order to obtain these technical experiments Herr Schick came to the conclusion that it BERTHA Osis, a Russian, who, after months of medical contention was pronounced afflicted with leprosy by foreign experts called in by the Massachusetts authorities, was taken to New York, the sole woman passenger of the Rovena, a schooner yacht. She embarked at Penithess island, the leper colony on the shores of Buzzard's bay, three days previously. Dr. Hardy, a surgeon of the United States marine hospital service, was in charge of the young woman, and with the exception of Capt. Robert B. Chase, an old New Bedford skipper, was the only American on board. The young woman is to be deported on a To Chase Wolves in Oklahoma. The great wolf hunt which was announced to take place here has been set for May 14, 15 and 16. This promises to be the greatest chase that has ever taken place in the West, as it will be held at a time when the weather will be pleasant and all comers may enjoy the sport. It will be conducted after the order of the chases held in England, only on a larger scale. There have been up to the present time 185 trained dogs from several states trained and the manager expects duly 100 more. It will be only a short time before this sport will be a thing of the past, and Oklahomaans wish to make this a chase long to be remembered by all who come. him." "What's wrong?" "Tuesday he nicks me in four places and to-day he asks me if I don't shave myself sometimes." GYROSCOPE ON BOARD THE SILVANA was necessary to undertake trials with a seaguing vessel. At first the inventor hesitated to embark upon such trials, as he feared that the flywheel would have to be made of imitation of Munich, however, since practical application to the gyroscope theory, and Herr Schlick then undertook trials on a more extended scale. Some two years ago he acquired a small steamship, the Seebar, an old German torpedo boat, into which the gyroscope was built. The trial trips proved a great success. They were in rough weather, and while the vessel rolled heavily, the parasutus was not working the movement was almost entirely checked HT AND ITS LEPROUS PASSENG steamship of the Scandinavian line, which brought her to this country three years ago. Dr. Hardy would allow no one on the yacht. His patient, who was walking about the deck, said that she dreaded most of all to go back to her home in Courtland, Russia, and meet her girl friends. "If they would have let me," she said in nearly perfect English, "I would gladly have lived and died on the island. When I arrived there I found a girl that I knew, Lucy Peterson, and we would have lived and died together. Oh, I dread so much to go back." Lacked Confidence. Little Ethel had been playing quietly on the porch one afternoon unnured by her father and a friend, who were discussing the recent financial panic. When the guest had gone and bedtime had come Ethel was unusually silent and thoughtful. And when she knelt to say her prayers a pause followed the usual petitions in behalf of "papa, an mamma an' Ann Mary an' Uncle John an' Rover an' Bridget." Finally, with great earnestness, she resumed, "An' now, God, please take great care of yourself, cause if anything should happen to you we'd only have Mr. Roosevelt—an' he hasn't come up to papa's expectations." novel?" inquired Chimmy Roxbury. "I never look at 'em, my boy," answered Waldo Backbay. "Too pifling. Have you perused the latest six-best-seller?" Lacked Confidence when the gyroscope was put into motion. Without the apparatus the list to port (leeward) was 25 degrees and to starboard 15 degrees, but with the gyroscope working this rolling motion was reduced to a maximum of from a to one degree. As the beam seas strucure the ship they would pear underneath the bottom of the vessel, which without, rolling, was lifted by the successive seas. The steamer maintained an upright position, and, while pitching gently, shipped but little spray. The fears of nautical experts that the swinging of the gyroscope could damage the ship's hull could wormload, and Herr Schlick's expectations were completely realized. As yet the young woman afflicted only on her face, a small spot of peculiar pale color showing on one side. Advice of German, English, Italian and Hawaiian specialists on leprosy was sought because of the diversity of opinion of the Massachusetts physicians regarding the case. In 1905 the young woman came to the United States and found employment in the home of a family in Brooklyn where she subsist. An anonymous letter was received last August by the Massachusetts board of health, and she was sought for, but not found until October. **Precautions.** The sextion of a "swell colored church" in Richmond ww closing the windows one blustering Sunday during service when he was beckoned to the side of a young negress, the widow of a certain Thomas.

MONSTER LOCOMOTIVE ON ERIE. The "Goliah" is Easily the Largest in the World. All the wheat raised in this vicinity, if every acre in 26 square miles was rich in grain, could be hauled away by one engine of the Erie road which has just arrived from the American Locomotive shops at Schecteney, says a Susquehanna (Pa.) correspondent. This is "Goliah," the biggest locomotive in the world. It has just been built and delivered to the Erie. It can pull a train load of wheat two miles long at a speed of eight miles an hour. The top of the cab of this locomotive is just $2\frac{1}{2}$ times higher than the engineer standing on the ground. In other words, it is 17 feet from the ground to the cab roof. The boiler is nearly 35 feet in length, twice the length of those on ordinary locomotives. It rests two sets of eight wheels each. There are two sets of cylinders. One high pressure set drives the rear wheels, and is entirely separate from the low pressure set in front. When both are used at once the engine becomes a compound and the low pressure cylinders operate on the exhaust steam of the rear ones. The makers of this monster locomotive solved many important problems in its construction. One was to make an engine of such length turn the curves without tearing up the track or becoming derailed. This was solved by placing the front end of the boiler connected with the forward wheel base. In spite of the fact that the engine weighs $286\frac{1}{2}$ tons and must drive with fearful force to pull a load of 10,000 tons, the shock to the rails and roadbed at the point of impact is said to be less than with most engines. The reason for this is that the weight and driving force are distributed over 16 drive wheels. BROUGHT CARLOAD OF CATS. "While we were in the yards at Chih cago one fall a freight train pulled in," said the old engineer. "We heard most extraordinary noises coming from one of the cars. It sounded as if Bedlam was let loose. Upon inquiry we were told that it was a carloid of cats shipped from the Pacific coast and consigned to a dealer in skins in New York. The felines were to be slaughtered on reaching their destination. Concerts had been given, much to the annoyance of the train crew, all along the route and had attracted universal attention. One would have supposed it a good deal easier and quiet the squirrels the skins rather than the live cats. "But the cuesest story of unpleasant ant travel companions was told by a railroad inspector, who had just returned from a trip abroad. "He was traveling on a night express from Vienna to Berlin, when the passengers were aroused from their sleep by the shrikes of a woman, who insisted she was being stabbed with sharp instruments in several places. She would not submit to an examination, and the guard was at his wits end, because he could not quiet her. A stout man, some distance away, added to the claimor by saying he was being cruelly pricked. "At that moment the train drew up at a station, and the man and woman were taken, the man was seated, the man was seated, six colossal figures found on his thigh. The poor woman fainted from horror and weakness as four of these creatures were removed from her. "It seems one of the passengers has brought an insufficiently covered jar of leeches into the carriage, and they were able to escape the sleep for the passengers that night." Through the Mountains. From Pittsburg to Butler in the Pennsylvania mountains is a type of the interurban road built through a country presenting so many difficulties that it was for a long time believed the electrics would not go through. There is much heavy work in the construction of this new road, one bridge being 600 feet long and 85 feet wide, a break it gives. But it is built and its success seems assured. While steam will not be displaced for many years to come, it must be admitted that the electric railroad has come to stay. Defective Page FIRANZ VON STUCK PROFESSOR VALTER SCHOTT "AMAZON" F. V. STUCK PROFESSOR TREMBOLD BEGAS Walter Schott, one of Germany's most noted sculptors, who has come to this country to arrange for an exhibition of German sculpture in New York next year, granted an interview to a reporter on his arrival, in the course of which he spoke in detail of his plans. Prof. Schott explained that he had come to America, and more especially to New York, by arrangement with the artistic committee, of which the president is Prof. A. Hildebrand and the rest of which includes some of the best known names in the artistic world. Prof. Schott talked further of his idea to make of this exhibition in PROFESSOR WALTER: SCHOTT "AMAZON" F. V STU New York a plastic exhibition representing all the greatest works of art of the newest period in such a manner that "the like of it shall never have been seen before," always provided that people are found to have sufficient interest in art, and more specially in plastic art. "Culture and plastic art are, he," is identified. This exhibition is not to be confused with building up placings about of plastic work, but always been the case up to now, visitors are to be brought to recognize how plastic works of art can and will benefit even the most modest home if properly selected and arranged." The professor hopes to awaken attention and find liberal support among Americans for his undertaking. Finally, Schott added: "As far as my own person is concerned, I have not come over to your splendid country and your hospitalable people to receive many of my colleagues have done. I am in this laborious and responsible work solely out of pure love and veneration for my calling, and in order to create a new market for my colleagues and Balzac and the Thief. A story, said to be new, of Balzac is related by a French contemporary. A burglar gained admission to Balzac's house and was soon at work, by the light of the moon at the lock of the secretaire in the novelist's chamber. Balzac was asleep at the time, but the movements of the intruder rushed him. The burglar, who was working most industriously, paused. A trident lance arrested his operations and he beheld by the moonlight the woman lay in bed, his sides citing with laughter. "What is it that makes you merry?" demanded the burglar. "I laugh," replied the author of "Pere Gorlot." "to think that you should come in the night without a antern to search my secretaire for money when I can never find any here in broad daylight." "Rebecca," shouted the old woman ap the stairs to her beauteous daughter, "vas you gain' to de party?" "Ya, mudder," answered Rebecca. "Vas you gettin' ready?" inquired the old lady. "Ya, mudder," replied Rebecca. "Vill I vash for a high neck dress, mudder, or a low neck?" THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by any ring or olique. 6-It asks no support but the people's. for German art. I feel positively assured that this exhibition will at least fulfill, if not excell, all the hopes set upon it." Prof. Schott is a tall, clean shaven man with none of the characteristics of the German about him. He looks rather like a man of art, an artist whose name has a familiar sound to every art connoisseur, he is known to be a great hunter. Small wonder, then, that he should be "persona gratissima" — as diplomats would say—with the kaiser, who has known him since childhood. Being a great hunter, it is a matter of hunting and hunting scenes would have a special charm to him. A man who has hunted down more than a hundred deer and many a hundred CK 24 roe-buck, a man whose dining room walls are covered with the trophies of his hunts, it is natural that he should immortalize his passion through a work of art. Herr Schott has done it, out of pure love of the theme, not as the result of an order received, and has succeeded, as always, wonderfully well. As luck would have it, he found the ideal model and soon created one of his prettiest statues—"Diana, the Goddess of the Hunt." Another is his "Boar Group," which is as realistic as can be. Only a hunter could have modelled it. All these works of art have made Herr Schott's name known everywhere in the world of art. But the one work, the work that has made the man famous throughout the world, and even where art as such is an unknown quantity, is the splendid bit of happy inspiration, "The Ball Player." Not only has "The Ball Player" been reproduced in all imaginable models, sizes and at all prices, but it has found its way throughout the entire world. It shows a young girl, in the full bloom of youth and exceeding TABLEOBS FOR THE AUTO. Medicine Cases Prepared for the Convenience of the Motorist. It is for the woman who motors that most time and thought have been expended this season in getting up convenience as well as luxuries. It seems as if there was scarcely a thing lacking in the equipment of the up-to-date auto which can contribute to the comfort of the motorist. One of the new outfits for touring is a medicine case in which many common remedies are put up in tabloid form and which altogether takes up no more space than the smallest makeup box. In the way of drugs there are quinine, bismuth, borax and other remedies, not to mention a first aid outfit consisting of bandages, boric lint, cotton wool and plasters; pins, scissors and sponge, oil for burns, castor oil, etc. More than this, there is a photographic outfit in tabloid form, with all the necessary chemicals for developing, toning and fixing photographs. beauty, playing the old Grecian "Boo-clas," ballplay. Of course, Prof. Schott will exhibit a good deal of his own work, but judging by the names of the exhibitors Germany is sending over the works of the artists. The names have, all of them, an intertwined ring of fame. There are names like Begas, Bruft, Kilmisch, Lessing, Schaper, Hildbride, Lederer, Dietz, Hahn, Metzer, Stuck, Tschadi, Wolffin and others. All are men not only of the highest artistic standing in their own country, but famous all over the artistic world. There is, for instance, American who has ever been in Berlin has seen and admired his fountain of Neptune, facing the rear FRANZ VON STUCK PROFESSOR TREMBOLD BEGAS of the imperial palace, or the wonderful statue of William I, the grandfather of the present kaiser. And those who have remained a little longer in Berlin and have had time to look around will surely remember with pleasure the wonderful statues in the "Ttergarten" and other places. They will remember him and Psychie and the splendid work "Contain and Nymphae." Prof. Begas, now a man of seventy years, but still as lively as hard working as any youth, has been accorded the title of "Almsteister," which means as much as master of masters. Prof. Stuck also will be represented at the exhibition. In his case it is hard to know where to begin, and as to the end there seems to be no visible one. Stuck is not only a great artist, but he has had a hand at every branch of art, and never yet has succeeded him. He is a sculptor, a painter—decorated and otherwise he is a caricaturist, dightmans and an architect. And still he is Franz Stuck. He is in a class by himself; it is impossible to classify him in any way. Hotel Accommodations in India. All over the world Indian hotels have a bad name to any one who has been used to a moderate degree of comfort and good feeding. They are for the most part a disgrace. Why people should have to pay 10 roupes to 25 roupes a day in the cold season and from 7 rupees to 12 rupees a day in the hot season without receiving comfort and good feeding seems at first difficult to answer. As a rule the hotel is most inferior, badly served up, tables and napkins frequently dirty, not to be used. Knives, forks spoons and tumblers, bed rooms are badly looked after, and unless one has a very smart bearer it can receive proper attention. All this should not be for such prices as people pay. In many third-rate boarding-houses in England one could presumably as good as what is got in some of the so-called first-class hotels in Calcutta—India Public Health. No Wonder. Miss Rattle—Yes, that's a photo of my maiden aunt. Perhaps you saw her name in the papers last winter. She frightened away a burglar. Mrs. Winkler (closely inspecting the portal)—Did she? Well, I don't wonder at it. HAVE YOU READ THE ARPEAL? THE APPEAL, A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY ADAMS BROS. EDITORS AND PUBLISHERS 49 B. 4th St., St. Paul, Mn. ST.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. Treat each man according to his worth as a man. Distrust all who would have any one class placed before any other.

We know advice is one of the things that is generally so freely offered that it is seldom acceptable, so we generally refrain from giving it. We, however, flatter ourselves that we know a good thing when we see it, even if it is in the nature of advice. We saw the following in another fellow's paper and it looked good to us, so we republish it that you may see if it looks good to you: "We love the man with a smile, the man with the roses on his tongue, the man who sees your boy's dirty face, but mentions his bright eyes, who notices your shabby coat, but praises your studious habits, the man who sees all the faults, but whose tongue is quick to praise and slow to blame. We like to meet a man whose smile will light up dreaminess, whose voice is full of the music of the birds, whose handshake is an inspiration and his 'God bless you' a benediction. He makes us forget our troubles as the raven's dismal croak is forgotten when the wood thrush or the brown thrasher sings. God bless men of cheer!

There are living men who have already crossed Jordan two or three times, and, unfortunately, they are not the type who 'cross the river of Jordan happy in the Lord,' but, who sing, if they sing at all, gloomiest, drearest, deadiest music.

The twenty-seventh annual commencement of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute held was, as were its predecessors marvelous exhibitions of the progress that has been made by that wonderful institution, a synopsis of which is herein given. The total number of students in all departments is nearly 2,000. Thirty-eight states and territories and twenty-one foreign countries have been represented. The envoys from the Republic of Liberia, Africa, G. W. Gibson, former Presidents and now Secretary State; J. J. Dorren, Vice President Chas. B. Dunbar, Attorney, and Chas. Branch, Secretary, were present. The class of '88 held its reunion This is also the month for the great Republican national convention at Chicago that will nominate the next President of these United States, and, judging from the applications that have been made for admission tickets, it promises to break the record in attendance—and interest. Everybody isn't happy now, but will be when the convention shall have completed its work. This, too, is the month for the meeting of the great National Educational Association at Cleveland, and the positive assurance has been made that all Afro-American teachers and visitors will find no "color line" anywhere, as has been the case at several of the meeting places of the association in recent years. This will certainly make all Afro-Americans as well as all fair-minded people, happy. June is the month for good things. Congressman J. Hampton Moore of that wide-wake city Philadelphia is having considerable fun poked at him because he introduced a bill in congress to license public laundries in the District of Columbia, and to prohibit, under penalty, the use of chemicals and heavy machinery which tend to destroy clothing. He was highly incensed because of the outrageous way his pet shirt was treated and said in his speech, when presenting the bill: "If my shirt is to be destroyed, I should be given the privilege of feeding it to the goat." Well, Congressman Moore is not the only sufferer along that line, there are others who have suffered in silence, or, at most, have poured out their wrath on the ambient atmosphere or over the telephone wire who will not only second his motion, but ask him to amend it to reach all over the country. Col. Watterson has a very poor opinion of the Cubans—thinks they are unfit for self-government, etc., etc. We should like to hear his opinion of Kentucky. HON. FRANK O. LOWDEN. Illinois Member of the Republican National Committee. A Great Friend of the Afro-Ame rican People. Annual Commencement as Usual a Marvel. The twenty-seventh annual commencement of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute held last week was, as were its predecessors, the exhibitions of the progress that has been made that wonderful institution, a synopsis of which herein given. The total number of students in all departments is nearly 2,000. Thirty-eight states and territories and twenty foreign countries have been represented. The envoys from the Republic of Liberia, Africa, G. W. Gibson, former President and now Secretary of State; J. J. Dorren, Vice President Chas. B. Dunbar, Attorney, and Chas. Branch, Secretary, were present. The class of '88 held its reunion, celebrating its twentieth anniversary, and the previous classes were its guests. Hereafter every class will celebrate its twentieth anniversary, and one of its members will represent on the commencement program. There have been many improvements. The greenhouse has been nearly doubled in size, the printing department has secured an "Opti-pat" inotype machine, a system of waterwheels to be used from artesian wells at the rate of 250,000 gallons of water daily is being put in; large additions have been made to the orchard, strawberry, fig and vineyard culture has received new impetus, and 6,000 quarts of water are being picked. Improvements have been made in the horse barns, poultry raising and bee culture. The large dining rooms and kitchens for teachers and students will soon be ready to work with alexander and white memorial dormitories for roles to cost $50,000 is in its second story. Several hundred students remain at the institution during the summer and pay their way while learning by cultivating the 1,000 acres now under cultivation, and doing other dairy farming, by getting the practical knowledge. A beautiful memorial to W. H. Baldwin, Jr., designed by Carl Bitter, sculptor, and W. W. Bosworth, architect, has been erected by the student D. Len G. Broughton, pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle, Atlanta, preached the commencement sermon. The Phelps Hall Bible Training School graduated seventy-nine students. Trinity Church Boston Oratorical prizes, $25 and $15, were won by William Harris, Leesburg, Fla. Subject: "A Plea for the Preservation of American Forests," and Matthew Woods of Virden, Oklahoma. "Woods of America" is a Racial Development. There were four other contestants, who received honorable mention. The students have paid in cash during the year $25,000, and $100,000 in labor. Eighty-eight received diplomas from Normal Department, eighty-seven received certificates for the completion of some trade. The audience was much pleased to see a black man who had been President of a Republic and when he was given an opportunity, in an over-earnest speech, to speak for 15 minutes, he was listened to with very great interest. Ex-President Gibson is about 75 years of age. He gave up the Presidency some years ago that he might devote his life to teaching. He expressed great pleasure with what he saw at Tuskegee. He called it a building for building boys and girls into good men and women and said he wished to see such a building established in his own country. Too much cannot be said in praise of the efforts of the young people who had part in the program. They were listened to with the closest attentions and heartily applauded. The industrial part has skill and familiarity with the subjects presented. A good and enthusiastic audience showed the favor in which industrial training is now held. The annual address by Hon. Charles W. Anderson of New York was most happy in every respect. It aroused the greatest enthusiasm on part of all present, and will be long remembered. Following the annual address, J. J. Dorren, Vice President of the Republic of Liberia, was introduced, and in a brief, spirited address, spoke most hopefully of the future of Lobi. In a very few words Dr. Booker Washington presented the diplomas and certificates, urging upon each one to find as quickly as possible his work and to put both body and soul into it. The prizes of last year were awarded this year, and in addition "The Robert C. Owens prizes" established by Robert C. Owens, a wealthy Afro-American of Los Angeles, Cal. They consist of five prizes of $10 in gold each, first, to the student who makes the highest recognition, and second, to the student in the senior class who shows most efficiency in agriculture; to the young woman who exhibits the most skill in domestic science; to the student who makes the best design, including plans, specifications, etc., for a four-room house, to cost not more than $10,000; to make the best exhibit in bookkeeping over work commen to the business course of the school. With the einging of "Auld Lang Syne" and the benediction by Dr. Gibson, of Liberia, a great commencement was brought to a close. WELCOME TO DELEGATES. Chicago Preparing to Receive Afro American Delegates. Afro-American citizens are preparing to give the Afro-American delegates and visitors to the Republican convention the greatest time ever given to previous national convention. Unquestionably, however, the most beautiful and enjoyable affair to be given during the week of the convention—and possibly the most brilliant affair to be given—the Chicago entertainment of all ages—will be the band concert and full dress reception tendered by the officers and men of the Eighth Illinois Regiment on Thursday evening, June 18. This is the most regiment that went to the arena during the War, and which, with Col. John R. Marshall in command, rendered service that won the highest enunciations at the hands of the United States government. It is the only Afro-American regiment in the United States in the Union, and is regarded as one of the finest drilled, most capably officered and best disciplined regiments in the country. The First Regiment Armory, probably the largest and most well-known, has been engaged for the occasion. It is also planned to have an exhibition drill by the regiment, so that the visitors from the North, East, South and east may see what Chili can do in the shape of Afro-American soldiers. It may be added that the Eighth is the only regiment in the land offered from colonel to corporal by Afro-American men, and will be a matter of interest to all to see them in action. The officers in full regiments, beautifully-gowned women and distinguished Afro-American men from every country, will be in the 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 in this country. It will take a couple of hours, and ladies are fairly open to opeice of expectation in anticipation of its brilliancy. It is the desire of the officers and members of the regiment that every member of the regiment 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 regiment office at 1101 Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, to insure their receiving an invitation. 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 the first national convention and it has no legal status. The men who framed the Constitution made no provision for nominating candidates, and, in fact, had never heard of nominations. It was their intention that the electors should choose the President uninfluenced by the public opinion, were no parties or party organizations, and everything was left to the wisdom of the electors, who were to be chosen by the State in whatsoever manner the States pleased. Before Washington's administration had been established, nominating machinery was soon provided in a Congressional caucus, by which the Congressmen of each party selected the candidate and the electors ratified this selection. Thus the legislative department virtually controlled the Executive office of all constitutions 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 republic. It nearly national conventions were hardly more than conferences, the first having been held in 1831 by supporters of Clay. There are thousands of men still living who were on their way to manhood before the national convention became an established political institution, with no laws except voluntary consent, yet as in enforcing it, the government also other nation. Indeed, more so for while government is forever floundered, there is no case on record in which a Presidential election ever refused to vote for the can- didate nominated by the national convention of his party.

The ninth annual session of the National Business League is to be held at Baltimore, Maryland, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 19, 2013. The ninth annual business League of Baltimore, *t*x Heart President, *t*x Press, is in charge of the arrangements of entertainment, etc. The strongest forces among the people of that city are co-operating with Mr. Pratt and the Local League in the session a success. Reduced rates as usual will be secured for the meeting The following Local Business Leagues have recently secured charters from the National Organization, namely: Riverside, California; Sacramento, California; Annapolis, Maryland; Oakland, California; the 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. Emmitt and will be received by the Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, on receipt of Post Office Money Order, or New York Draft to cover same. Those interested in promoting business enterprises among the Afro-Americans are urged to secure charters 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 benevolence, no graps, and is not 'fraternal'. It is a organization of Afro-American business men. HON. CHARLES W. ANDERSON. Alternate at Large from New York to Republican National Convention. HON. CHARLES W. ANDERSON. Republican, Nation's 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. We are not in politics 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 Washington, and others. 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 these problems and follow the 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 School. Other other purposes. 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 about facts? How about credits? How can we improve our methods of selling, etc." Ewlyn Building, Boy's Hall, Stone Hall, Girl's Hall, Modal Home ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, Atlanta, Ga.

The love of English women of rank for cats is the subject of wondering recognition in an article in a German newspaper. It is recorded as special- ly wonderful that Queen Alexandra is @ leader in the fad. According to the writer she is the owner of fifty cats and has a:special corps of servants to keep them-in order. ‘There is one special favorite, called Sandy because {t was born at Sand- ringham house. In any of the royal palaces it has the run of the private apartments. When the queen goes abroad it is part of her suite, always in charge of a special groom, The queen 1s fond of photographing her pets; she has taken them hun- dreds of tixes, singly and in groups and in all sorts of attithdes, She has also had many of them painted by the animal painter Louis’ Wain, The health of the cats Is cared for by the | veterinary surgeon of the royal stables land a room is set apart as a hospital for the sick ones, Queen Alexandra 1s surpassed-as a eat fancier by.

Several servants are necessary to keep the place neat and the beds and lounging cushions in order. There 1s a little dairy near by which provides milk for the cats. The collection is said to be of great value. Poor Management, “Now here,” said the proprietor ot the musteal comedy. “What is it?” tnquired the stage manager. “Last might you gave the last act Srst..

Facts Seem to Support Belief That They Are, The interesting question, “Are the English Lazy?” is discussed in the current issue of Harper's Weekly, by Sydney Brooks, its London corre: spondent. Mr.’ Brooks says “That Englishmen are inclined to be tazy, and that England, while democratie in form, is not democratic in spirit. Tt hhas not accepted, and does not sub- scribe to, that gospel of work which Wes at the root of the strength, the success, the democracy of the young: er nations, “Any one who has looked into Eng- lish trade unions must have realized how largely it is mixed up with class spirit. The workingman who knows that his employer drives down to the office at 10:30 takes an hour and a halt for lunch, 1s at his club again shortly after 5, spends we week-end fm the country, and thinks nimselt somewhat of a ‘hustler’ if he is con- tent with two months’ holiday in the year, {8 not likely to have a keen ap- Dreciation of the dignity of labor. “From top to bottom there runs the habit of regarding work as an um palatable interruption of the real bust hess of existence; and nearly all Englishmen work’ harder on a hol aay than in thelr offices or work shops.” aa aay ‘The Census Taker — Your. name, aap oF gent Sow” “Beg parton, mum?” sive Boca afvorced,_ At present my amo le Mrs, Jones in this state. 1 Several states It fe Mies.

Boenneu se tates BEE ate elie eee The Thoughtless Man Who Monopo- lizes Narrow Stairway. "It disturbs me always," said a quick-moving man, "when I'm climbing a pair of stairs just wide enough for two to find ahead of me a man walking up squarely in the middle, where nobody can pass him on either side, thus practically monopolizing the whole stairway. I am not disturbed primarily because his walking thus keeps me from going ahead past him, though that does disturb me some, but because of the evident thoughtlessness of others that his walking so reveals. I hate to see thoughtless people. This man sees ahead of him nobody coming down, the stairway there is clear, and that's as far as he thinks. The ostrich buries its head in the sand, and thinks that thereby it wholly conceals itself—the man going up the middle of the stairs sees the way clear ahead and never thinks that somebody may be coming up behind. "I dodge to one side, thinking that perhaps I can get past him there, but only to find him, quite by chance, of course, swaying to that side and so blocking me there; and then I try the other side, there to be blocked in the same way and to become, I confess, by this time somewhat irritated. But there is nothing for me to do then but to keep my temper and follow the man in the middle until he steps clear of the stairs on the platform, where there is room to pass him. "The fact is that the man mounting the stairs in this way in the middle may be worse than thoughtless, he may be doing this from innate pig-gishness; he may be one of those men who naturally pig everything in sight. But the very best that can be said for him is that he is a thoughtless man, a man who habitually thinks only of himself; and for such a man I have no use. I wouldn't hire him for any sort of a job, for the man thoughtless of other people could certainly never get anything out of them and so would not be profitable." No Need for a Poor Farm. Carver's town farm is now no more, says the Boston Journal. Not because the town cannot afford to support a retreat for the needy, but for the very good reason that there are no needy cases to be supported or cared for. This was not always the case, for only a few years ago the town had as well populated a poor farm as any town of its size in the state, but one by one the venerable inhabitants have passed away, and to-day the body of Mrs. Rebecca Churchill, the last survivor, was laid away with due ceremony in the little burying ground. For years she had been the only dependent occupant of the farm. Now that there are no poor to be housed and fed, the farm will be closed and the occupants of the little town blevle that the closing will be for good and all. Lost All Interest. As if animated by a common impulse, the crown watching the amateur baseball game geban to melt away. “What's the matter?” asked the man who had just arrived. “Is the game over?” “No,” said one of the others. “A batter sent a ball just now through a plate glass window in that apartment house on the other side of the street, and one of the fellows is starting around with a hat to take up a collection to pay for the damage. Another Fake. A Connecticut hen helped a thief to conceal a watch. When the police found the watch the hen was setting on it. During its absence from the owner the timepiece had lost its usual regularity, and when picked up was an hour slow. This shows that nature occasionally falls to make preparation for emergencies. Although the hen was a setting hen she failed to set the watch. Just the Other Way. Miss Minny Somers — By the way, you are not the boy I have always had before? Caddie—No'm; you see, we tossed to see who'd caddle for you. Miss Minny Somers (awfully pleased) —Oh, tut, tut, you bad boys—and you won? Sole Survivor of Harvard '36.
