CASTAWAY IN THE SOUTH SEA Being a Reminiscence of the Wreck of the Antipodes. THE CHIEF OF THE ISLAND, WITH HIS FAMILY. VOL. 24. NO. 39. CASTAWA Being a Rem (By Prof. Eugen Schroeder.) During one of my cruises in the South sea some years ago our good ship had the misfortune to be caught in a storm of such unusual severity that we were completely at the mercy of the tremendous waves during the several days that the hurricane lasted. The Antipode had steamed out of the harbor of Macao on June 20, 1906, and, while pursuing her way from China through the South seas, she struck with great force upon a submerged rock. It is impossible to describe the excitement which immediately prevailed on board. The accident happened during the night on July 9, and although most of the passengers and crew had retired to their respective quarters, the whole ship was in a few moments in a terrible uprune. Those who had not been thrown out of their berths by the shock jumped out, an indescribable confusion ensued and the whole frightened mass of humanity stamped, screaming, wailing and shouting to the upper deck. It is at such times that we are brought face to face with the fact that our much vaunted civilization is but skin deep. As the vessel was heeded over to one side rapidly the panic was incredible; in their frantic desire to reach the lifeboats the men forgot every consideration, while the women, clad in the scantiest attire, became oblivious to every sense as soon as they realized the gravity of the situation. While the captain was endeavoring to bring order out of chaos scenes were witnessed which would have shamed savages. On the other hand, it was interesting to observe how the coolness and energy of a handful of man swayed this frightened mass of humanity that had for the time being lost its normal balance. Capt. Boyson, a thorough sailor, both an appearance and manner, together with his officers, had no difficulty in managing his crew, with whose assistance and the aid of a revolver he quickly succeeded in restoring order and discipline among the passengers. A few well directed shots over the heads of those who tried to get into the lifeboats had the desired effect. It was soon ascertained that the THE CHIEF OF THE 15 ship had sprung a large leak three feet below the water line and also that the rudder was shattered. The situation seemed hopeless. It was now 2 o'clock a. m., and as the hold was filling but slowly the captain gave us the comforting assurance that we might consider ourselves absolutely safe until dawn. Still, although the pumps worked without intermission, it was evident that the water in the hold was rising slowly but steadily. After completing their toilets with all possible despatch and picking up the most necessary articles, the passengers were assembled on the quarter-deck, this offering not only the most elevated position on the ship, but also a shelter from the drenching rain which poured down mercilessly. This done, Capt. Boyson gave orders to remove all the powder on board, as well as all firearms, to a place of safety; also that bread and all provisions still within reach be removed on deck. After this the bouts were provisioned, necessary articles, such as weapons, compasses, etc., added, and then they were swung loose from the davits, ready to be loaded into the preparation which so forlorn and painful the situation demands completed all that remained for us to do was to wait patiently for the coming of the morn, so that we could find out whether we were in the vicinity of one of the numerous islands of the Pelew group, which we ought by rights to have passed the day before. Up to now we had not come within sight of land. The reader can hardly imagine the intense anxiety with which we watched the heavens for the first sign of dawn, and great was our joy when we discerned, in the dim light of early morning, the coast line of an island about three or four miles distant from our ship. Our happiness at this discovery was so great that we welligh forget how all but hopeless our condition still was. As morning advanced we could distinguish other islands in an easterly direction. But now the question arose. What islands were they, especially the nearest one, on which we would have to depend? Would we meet with kindly disposed people, or had fate decreed that we should fall into the hands of cannibals, who, as we well knew, inhabited most of these islands? After sunrise the captain informed us that, although the Antipode was doomed, the hole in her side had been plugged so that she swat not expected to break up before nightfall. This was comforting favorable circumstances the pinnace was ordered provisioned and placed in charge of an officer and eight men. Their mission was to find, if possible, a safe landing place. This accomplished, part of the men were to be left behind in order to erect tents and make investigations on the island. We were inhabited, this is the case they were to make friendly overtures to the natives, but were strictly forbidden to make use of firearms except in an emergency. It was a perilous trip for the boats, for the storm was still in its height, and as long as our eyes could follow them we noticed that they were making a hard fight against wind and wave in trying to reach their goal. As our lives depended on the ultimate safety of these boats, we spent anxious hours aboard the sinking ship, the breaking up of which we might expect any day. If they were finally accomplished there was always the possibility to be reckoned with that the landing party might be attacked and killed by savages. Thus the hours dragged slowly in agonizing suspense. Late in the afternoon the strain under which we labored was at last relieved, for in the distance could be seen the boats, returning with four men, riding mountainous waves. With joyful eagerness we listened to the first officer's report, to the effect that a landing had been made in a convenient and sheltered cove, and that the boat load of goods had been taken ashore in safety, that fresh water had been found near by, but that diligent search was no revealed even a trace of human beings. Upon hearing these good tiding our spirits rose immediately. The very best watchers left the passengers and the rest of the crew were assigned to the various boats, and a craft, hurriedly constructed, was loaded with as much provisions as possi- ISLAND, WITH HIS FAMILY ble, as well as other useful and neces- sary articles. The trip across the storm lashed waters was extremely trying, and our little boats shipped such heavy seas that they were more than once in danger of being engulfed. We finally reached the shore, thankful that no mishap had occurred, and found that those of our companions in misery who had preceded us had made good use of their time. Several tents had been erected in the flood, the a bright fire was burning, which we at once proceeded to warm our chilled and stiffened limbs and dry our clothes. The provisions were stored in a sheltered place that had been freed of its rank vegetation. There was still no improvement in the weather on the following morning, but we could see that the wreck was still above water. A few plucky men therefore proposed to make a trip to the vessel in order to remove everything that could be saved. The captain, however, objected to this plan and told the men to wait until the afternoon, when he expected a change in weather. Then enough, he was not deceived in his expectations, and so two boats were sent in charge of the first officer in order to bring ashore what had not been ruined by the action of the water. Could any one be in a more deplorable position than the one in which we found ourselves? Here we were, stranded on an isolated island, whose name we knew not and which we could only suppose belonged to the Pelew group. To make matters worse, we had landed in a place that cut us off from all communication with the mates of the outside world. To all appearances we were doomed to spend the rest of our days on this island. The following morning at last brought a change for the better, after it had begun to storm during the night again, so far as the weather was concerned but as we could not hope to save our belongings we made no attempt to reach the wreck. We therefore put in our time in making ourselves useful about the camp, while the captain and his officers were engaged in preparing other expeditions THE APPEAL. to explore the island, both by land and water. While we were busily occupied in spreading our wet provisions to dry in the sun we were startled by the cry "The savages!" and when we looked up we were not a little surprised to see two canoes, each containing five men. They evidently hesitated to approach, for they were halting, at a tongue of land that projected a short distance into the ocean. Everybody was excited, and, grasping a bee line for the shore, prepared ward off the expected attack. It soon appeared, however, that nothing of the kind was intended, and so the captain thought it best that we should return to camp, leaving him to approach the natives alone. At the same time he told us to keep an eye on the proceedings and watch the WE WERE STARTLED BY THE CRY "THE SAVAGES. kind of reception he would meet, and, in case of need, to come to his assistance under the leadership of his officers. In short, we were to be prepared for the worst. No doubt the natives had observed that the captain was alone, for we could see that they were consulting with one another as to what course to pursue. Finally they began to approach very cautiously, and as soon as they were in earshot the captain called upon one of his passengers who understood the Malayan language to what they wanted. After swercame, it was taken for granted that they did not understand this language. The cahoes halted, however, and before long a voice demanded in Malay whence the strangers came and whether they came as enemies or friends. The interpreter replied that many of us were Americans and all others Englishmen, that we had been wrecked on a reef and had lost our ship, but that on all board had been saved, and that we came as friends who sought shelter on their island. Hereupon there was another consulta- tion, and that we came as friends who proached a shallow place on a beach, when all except the two men who had handled the paddles, proceeded to wade ashore. The captain at once stepped also into the water, meeting the visitors half way. As the captain approached the leader of the little band, a fine specimen of young manhood, evidently a chief, opened his arms wide. The captain, not to be outdone in politeness, returned the compliment, and to our unbounded surprise was heartily welcomed with the ceremony of rubbing noses together. The captain now escorted the party to our camp, where he presented the officers and passengers, introducing them as his companions in misery. The natives, eight in number, were all fine looking men, two of them, as we were told, being brothers of the chief. That we had really landed on one of the islands of the Pelew group, that the natives were friendly and that on the opposite side of the island was a settlement of considerable size, with the dwelling of the chief. Of course, the captain no sooner heard the name of the island than he got his bearings, and so it turned out that he had the good fortune to be cast upon an island that was visited at frequent intervals by schooners that trade among the SOME OF THE THE HUTTLE HOME Defective Page islands of the Pelew group, buying in the main copra, which is gathered in the coconut plantations. Such a vessel could easily take us to one of the frequent ports. The chief's brother informed us that they had noticed our ship two days ago, but that, owing to the violence of the storm, it would have been impossible for their canoes to reach us. They also brought an invitation from their chief, who desired that the captain and his officers should be his guests for that very day, provided they showed friendly interaction. It was therefore concluded that the captain, the officers and I, being able to speak the Malay language, should embark in one of our boats and accompany the natives to their hospitable chief. After an hour's journey we landed, in the best of spirit, on the opposite side of the island, where we found a flourishing settlement with luxurious coconut plantations. We were received with the utmost cordiality, and as we had taken care to provide ourselves liberally with tobacco, gaudy materials, chins of big glass heads, materials, etc. we were soon on the way to the villages for suitableages. Our offer to trade with them for provisions met with a ready response, and so our camp was henceforth well provided for. A few weeks later found us on board a merchandise vessel found for Ponape, in the Caroline group, where we arrived safe and sound after a tedious voyage of three weeks. At Ponape we were received, with such warm hearted hospitality, both by the authorities and the white settlers, that we were loath to depart, and so this catastrophe, which seemed like a dire calamity at the time, had such an unexpected happy ending that I look upon it as one of the most interesting episodes of my eventual life. A TYPEWRITING POINT. When in Some Work the Periods and Commas Show Black and Deep. "When in anything tywriten you see the periods and commas punched black and deep," said an experienced typewriter, you may know that the work was done by a beginner or by one who had not yet done sufficient work to have acquired a perfect touch. "The reason for the deep punching of the punctuation points is very simple. Naturally enough the beginner at typewriter plays upon all the keys with equal force, but as the types attached to the keys present unequal amounts of printing surface it towns all the keys results in more or less unequal printing on the paper. "For instance, a certain amount of force applied to the B key might produce of that type a fair impression on the paper, but the same force applied to a period might drive that, a more point, clean through the paper. In fact, it is not unusual for beginners on the typewriter to punch holes in the paper with their periods. "But as the learner progresses in her part she comes to realize that some types must be touched more lightly than others and gradually her period become less black and deep, so that they instinctively, automatically, to grade her touch on all the letters and signs until at last she is able to procure typewriting that is nothing less than artistic in effect, true and beautiful. "It is sometimes fine to see, the good work of the intelligent, sensitive and truly competent typewriter." QUEER WEDDING EFFIGY. There is a curious custom still prevalent in the Bellary district of India in connection with the wedding ceremonies among certain Brahmin families. Just prior to the close of the feasting, a hideous effigy of a male figure, fawn in color, is rags, supposed to represent the bridegroom's façade is carried along the streets in procession, under the shade of a sieve adorned with tassels of onions and maragosa leaves. Every few yards during the procession the feet of the effigy have to be reverently washed and its forehead decorated with a caste mark by its mother. The bridegroom's other relatives have several mock attensions paid them by the women of the bride's party. FELEW-ISLANDERS FATHER QUICHETEAU ENTERING HIS ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATION ON THE ROOF TOP OF THE PARISH HOUSE. "The gracious God guides the feet of man on earth guides too the footsteps of the Martians and directs the destinies of all his creatures in worlds of the past. The Rev. Father Gucheteau of the recent church, of St. Vincent de Paul in West Twenty-third street, stood on the steps of his astronomical observatory on the roof of the parish house and talked earnestly to some visiting members of his congregation on the wonders of the heavens by his remarkable telescope. "The more deeply I have gone into the study of astronomy the more deeply I have been impressed with the magnitude of God's wonders. What is revealed to man by the telescope is almost beyond comprehension a demonstration need be given the unbeliefs through the telescope on a clear and starry night. It brings to mind that line from the 'Night Thoughts' of Edward Young, By night an atheist half believes in God." The little observatory on the parish house roof top was practically built by Father Gulcheutean himself. It is modelled on the lines of the great modern observatories, such as the Yerkes and Lick. The circular dome is supported on wheels, which permits of its turning completely around. An arm two feet wide, through which the telescope is placed, part of the heavens, runs across the dome. A long and narrow wooden shutter delicately balanced on ball-bearing wheels may be drawn at will to open or close the aperture. The telescope is a very powerful instrument for its size, containing exceptionally fine lenses. It is mounted on clockwork, as are all the great telescopes nowadays, in order that the instrument may turn just as the planets move. One of the eyepieces of the telescope is apparently arranged with prisms, so that the observer can look down in the eyepiece while the instrument is actually pointed at some orb high up in the heavens. Another eyepiece has a different design of prisms, and is designed to deflect half of the rays of the sun. This is invaluable in solar observations. Father Gulcheutean has made very interesting studies of the sun and its corona. Curiously enough, the greatest of all the world's astronomers who have devoted themselves to a study of the sun, have prized the celebrated Father Seckel. Father Seckel devoted a lifetime of study to the sun, known about the great luminary of the heavens due to the indefatigable Italian priest. Father Guicheteau is said to be the only Catholic priest of prominence in the United States who is also an astronomer. In Europe there are several notable astronomers who are priests in a Catholic church. Father Guicheteau, Moupeux, director of the observatory Bourges, in France, has followed in Father Secchl's footsteps and accomplished some very remarkable work in astronomy. At Carjatta, near Grenada, Spain, is the observatory of the Jesuit fathers, of which Father J. Mier y Teran is director. Fourteen Catholic priests at this observatory devote the greater part of their time to the study of the universe. Father Guicheteau as the head of the Fathers of Mercy of St. Vincent de Paul church cannot devote himself entirely to astronomy for his church FATHER QUICHETEAU ENTERING TORY ON THE ROOF TOP duties and parish work take up a great deft of his time, but his evenings are generally free, and almost every clear night and what spare time he has during the day is devoted to his telescope. In the warm summer evenings he is almost always to be found in the observatory, generally surrounded by some of his parishioners and friends interested in the study of the stars. The observatory is reached by climbing four long flights of stairs and then a steep ladder, which reaches to the roof. The father, as his pictures show, is a man of most venera. THE BEST SELLER ble appearance. He is about seventy years old, and wear a long, snow beard. He is an intimate friend of the astronomer, French astronomer, and the two are in constant correspondence. he was Flammarion, it will be remembered, who following in the footsteps of Foucault, performed in Paris that very interesting experiment, named after Foucault, for determining the rotation of the earth on its axis. Only a few months ago Father Gutechean performed the Foucault experiment, for the first time in this country, in the great rotunda of the Brooklyn Museum. Brooklyn. The experiment proved to a mathematical nicety the hourly movement of the earth on its axis in relation to the latitude of New York. THE NEW YORK TIMES The Rev. Father Puricle, pastor of the church in which the experiment was performed, assisted. The experiment was watched by an interested and interesting group of priests and astronomers from both New York and Brooklyn. A fine piano wire was fitted to the highest point in the cupola of the church. At the other end of the wire, eighty feet below, was attached a tenpound weight, a counterpart in shape of a modern steel armor piercing shell. Directly beneath the suspending square, was placed a wooden square, upon which was marked a circle into arcs of ten-degrees each, extending figuratively from the north pole to the equator. HIS ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVA- P OF THE PARISH HOUSE. The pendulum being stationary when the experiment was begun, it was purposed to prove that the earth swung upon its axis and also to show exactly how much this swing amounted to at the latitude in which the experiment was conducted. The pendulum was brought to an absolute standstill by Father Gucheteau directly over the center of the disk upon which were drawn the circle and area. A strong thread was then attached to the weight, the heavy pendulum was pulled over to a stationary post and the thread tied thereto. $2.40 PER YEAR. The pendulum was drawn out from a dead center about twelve inches. Father Gulcheuthean then set fire to the thread with a match, and the released pendulum swing across the disk, following the equatorial line to a halr's breadth. The watchers took out their stop watches to time the swing. At the beginning the swing covered a period of five seconds. Very slowly it commenced to get away from equatorial line, and at the end of one hour it had attained a distance of 9 minutes 4 seconds from its original position along the center line of the disk. Whereas in the beginning the course of the pendulum had been absolutely north and south, it was at the end of an hour swinging northeast and southwest. This proved to the human eye that the earth had deviated from its course from the time the experiment was begun to the time when the weight had attained its greatest distance from the central plane. Only once since has the experiment been repeated in this country. That was a week later. when a demonstration was given at Columbia university. Father Gucheteau has just completed an intricate calculation to prove the age of the pyramids. For centuries the date of the buildings of the pyramids has been in doubt, and only in recent years has any satisfactory solution been reached. It was discovered that a tunnel in one of the great pyramids was built in an exact line with the Polar star. Then it was proved that the Polar star moved at the rate of one degree in every two centuries. A calculation was made showing that the pyramids 'were built in the year 3300 B. C., approximately. Father Gucheteau proved to prove that his own satisfaction with this calculation was correct. He made several observations with his telescope and then commenced elaborate computations by means of trigonometry. At the conclusion of his work he had arrived at the year 3324 B. C., within a quarter of a century of the figures formerly calculated. Father Gucheteau repeated all his labor on the problem twice, each time arriving at the same figures. He is satisfied that the pyramids were within a very few years of the figures he evolved. For forty years he has been a devotee of astronomy. "It is the most fascinating study in the world," he says. "It is a study of which one never tires and to which there is no end. One problem succeeds another. I was greatly amused to read the other day of the interesting life of a hunter, interspersed with some allusions to Mr. Roosevelt's proposed trip to African jungles after wild beasts. The number of wild animals one can discover and perhaps shoot at is limited, very limited. But the discoveries one may make the heavens are limitless. And with the heavens a gun, my telescope, I may 'shoot' to heavenly bodies and derive a thousand times the pleasure the man with a rifle has. And, tell me"—Father Gulcheuteau's dark eyes twinkled merrily"—don't you think my sort of hunting is a bit more human, a trifle less bloodthirsty? He Had the Idea. A Chinaman who had been robbed by a woman on the Bowery was trying to describe her at the police station. "Can't you remember how she was dressed?" asked the lieutenant at the desk. "What sort of a hat did she wear?" For a moment John seemed puzzled. Then his face lightened. "He dead—she glad," he confidently announced. And now the police are looking for a woman with a Merry Widow hat. HAVE YOU READ THE ARPEAL? OFFICE. No. 236 Union Block, 4th & Cedar. J. Q.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1908. "BULLETIN NO. 2." Recently, in one of the Southern states, the election for state officers was made the occasion for a furious struggle between the prohibitionists and their opponents which developed certain sensational features. Among these was the issuance of "Bulletin No. 2," of which we shall endeavor to give our readers some idea. Said bulletin is embellished at the head, on one side by a portrait of Lee Levy, of Lee Levy & Co., 206 Market St., St. Louis, makers of a vile, obscenely labeled gin largely sold to field hands; on the other by a picture of a type of the Louisiana fieldhands who are the principal buyers of such gin as Levy sells. These pictures are accompanied by the following extract from an editorial which appeared in Collier's Weekly, as follows: "Is it plain now—the secret of many and many a lynching and burning in the South? The primitive Negro fieldhand, a web of strong, sudden impulses, good and bad, comes into town or settlement on Saturday afternoon, and pays fifty cents for a pint of Mr. Levy's gin, absorbs not only its toxic heat, but absorbs also M. H. HON. WILLIAM H. TAFT Next President of the United States. "Every good citizen in the country must deplore the fiendish work of the disgraceful mob that has brought the city of Springfield to sorrow. Suen an outbreak of lawlessness and bitter race prejudice makes the lover of his country sad."—William H. Taft. the suggestion, subtly conveyed that it contains aphrodisiacs. He sits in the road or in the alley at the height of his debauch, looking at that obscene picture of a white woman on the label, drinking in the invitation which it carries. And them comes—opportunity. There follows the hideous episode of the roe or the stake. three-fourths of the value of property destroyed by rioters can be sued for Sangamon county will have a heavy bill to pay on account of the numerous trials growing out of the riot. The loss to the business community of Springfield through the interference with traffic cannot be estimated closely, but it was heavy. Some disrespect THE APPEAL is of the opinion that the bulletin rightfully accounts for many of the outrages of actual occurrence. But these obscene, lust-provoking pictures are not confined to the labels of gin bottles; they are found everywhere, on the walls of the saloons, on the bulletin boards of the theatres. Obscene pictures of white women in various degrees of nudity, from the decollete to "the altogether" are constantly exposed to the view of all, young and old. We are glad to see that the white people of the South are taking notice of the doings of Messrs. Lee Levy & Co., and showing how much they are responsible for the misdoings of the Afro-American. We are glad that they are finding out that the white woman has much more to fear from the degenerates of her own race than from the "Louisiana fieldhands." What white men will do with their own women is shown by the white slavery of Chicago and other Northern cities, beside which the outrages attributed to Afro-Americans are more trifles, if not in atrocity, at least in amount. COUNTING THE COST. The suits brought against the city of Springfield on account of the recent riot and the expense to the state of putting it down aggregate $264,000. This is by no means the total cost of a brief taste of mob rule. Only WILLIAM H. HARRIS "As a Nation our duty compels that by every constitutional and reasonable means the material and educational condition of the Afro-American be advanced. This we owe to ourselves as well as to them. As the result of a course of events that can never be reversed, they are a part of our civilization; their prosperity is our prosperity; their debasement would be ours." "The Republican party, therefore, will offer every encouragement to the thrift, industry and intelligence that will better their prospect of higher attainment."—James S. Sherman ery must deplore the fiendish work of the city of Springfield to sorrow. Such race prejudice makes the lover of three-fourths of the value of property destroyed by rioters can be sued for. Sangamon county will have a heavy bill to pay on account of the numerous trials growing out of the riot. The loss to the business community of Springfield through the interference with traffic cannot be estimated closely, but it was heavy. Some disreputable characters have left Springfield, but some decent, hard working citizens have been scared away and the community is the poorer for their absence. The foregoing is the estimate of the Chicago Tribune as to the cost of the Springfield riot, and the Tribune may be set down as a competent and conservative authority. It deserves especial attention, as showing what a mob can do and what it fails to do. So far as we have learned, the author of the outrage upon Mrs. Hallum has not been identified and is not likely to be. The guilty party escapes and the innocent alone are punished. Indeed, it may be stated as a fact that it is very rarely that the guilty party really is punished. With reference to King Leopold, of Belgium, the Marquise de Fontenoy writes: "With complete rest and freedom from all excitement, fatigue, and trouble, he may possibly linger on for some mouths, but that otherwise he is apt to be overtaken by death at almost any moment." She adds, referring to his social standing: "the scandals of his private life, which had become so shameless in late years; his unsavory quarrels with his daughters, his queer associations and his unfriendly attitude to- word England in connection with the Congo, all contributed to alienate him from his English relatives, who have participated in the royal boycott, to which he has been subjected by foreign courts." It may be remarked that the sovereign of an European state must have a almost unsavory record to become the subject of a boycott, but the boycott was caused by the private vices of the old debauchee. These, however, are of small consequence compared with the infamies perpetrated, under his management, in the Congo Free State. The world will lose nothing when the modern Nero shall be overtaken by death. Unprejudiced observers have long before this time noticed the fact that many of the yarns told about assaults upon white women by Afro-Americans had such an ancient and fish-like smell as to be absolutely unbelievable by any one of ordinary common sense.

We demand equal justice for all men, without regard to race or color; we declare once more, and without reservation, for the enforcement in letter and spirit of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution, which were designed for the protection and advancement of the Afro-American and we condemn all devices have for their real aim his dischernisement for reasons of color alone, as unfair, un-American and repugnant to the supreme law of the land." —Republican Platform, 1908. H. HITCHCOCK. Committee, Who Will Lead the R actory in November. en for the vigorous and effective with the recent outbreak of mob viciousness in calling the state militia to gfield and the firmness with which nation are due the swift suppression order—Illinois Republican Platform RIGHTS OF AFRO-AMERICANS. "The republican platform refers to these amendments to the Constitution that were passed by the republican party for the protec- tion of the Afro-American. The Afro-American has been freed from slavery, has made remarkable progress. He is becoming a more and more valuable member of the communities in which he lives. The education of the Afro-American is being expanded and improved in every way. The best men of both races, at the north as well as at the south, ought to rejoice to see growing up among the southern people an influential element disposed to encourage the Afro-American in his hard struggle for industrial independence and assured political status. The republican platform, adopted at Chicago, explicitly demands justice for all men without regard to race or color, and just as explicitly declares for the enforcer- and without reservation, in letter and spirit of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution. It is needless to state that I stand with my party squarely on that plank in the platform, and believe that equal justice to all men and the fair and impartial enforcement of these amendments are in keeping with the real American spirit of fair play.—Hon.

The friends of Mr. John J. Chur, who at one time was lieutenant of Chemical Fire Co. No. 4, St. Paul, will doubtless be paired to learn that he met with a serious accident recently that cost him one eye and he may lose the other. He was raid and when he undertook to light one of the lamps on his car, for some unknown reason, it exploded and so injured his right eye that it had to be removed. He is still in the hospital at Chicago, and there is some danger he will also have to be removed. Mr. Chur is a brother of Mrs. T. H. Lyles. Mr. Lamson Ridley, who died at St. Joseph's hospital, Wednesday, Sept. 10, was born near Nashville, Tenn. March 12, 1861. He came to St. Paul about one year ago with his family consisting of three children, the undertaker rooms of 463 Thomas street. He was employed in the Pulman service and was doing well until he was stricken down with pneumonia, and after a short illness of ten days succumbed to its deadly influence and he was taken away in the prime of his manhood. His funeral services were held last Sunday afterwards, and he was taken to T. H. Lyles, 322 Wabasha street, and were conducted by Rev. H. S. Graves, pastor of St. James A. M. E. church. There was a large congregation of the friends of the deceased present. The services were quite impressive. The floral offerings were numerous and very beautiful and appropriate. Interment at Fort Smith, Mrs. Needham asked to teacher her thanks to all who in any way gave aid or sympathy during her sad bereavement. Anything the Matter With Your Stove?

"Sundown doctors" are an institution peculiar to Washington city. They are an amenable company of institutions who ply their trade only after nightfall. Not that these gentlemen prefer darkness to light if they had their d'ruthers, says the Louisville Courier Journal, nor are their deeds of a questionable complexion that looks best in the shade. Sundown doctors have no ways that are dark or tricks that are vain. They are as open as the day that they may be seen in the sunshine or their profession by candle-light rather than by the sunshine that's under Sam's fault, not their own. Sundown doctors begin to get busy only after 4:30 in the afternoon. From 9 to that hour, poor souls, they are holding their noses to the grindstones over the government desks, for one must live, don't you know, however soaring one's scientific ambition, and Uncle Sam's wages do come in mighty amounts. The most prominent is the story of the origin of the struggling fraternity of sun-down physicians of the federal capital. There are thousands of instances. Young physicians with their careers got to carve secure clerkships in some of the governmental departments of Washington in order to keep the pot bubbling while they are getting their medical education after office hours. Their diplomas thus laboriously achieved, they hang out their shingles tentatively, holding fast to the promise of security established professionally. A job in the hand, you know, is worth a whole city directory full of uncaptured patients. Never let go a sure thing till you are sure of a surer. The Ramsey County Afro-American Club, formerly located on Cedar street, is now located on the second floor of 115 E. Third street, with everything new but the name. The membership is growing daily, demonstrating the popularity of the club and the board of management. The members of the new club are far superior to those of the old club and it is now a thing of beauty ad a joy forever. President Phelps and Secretary De Lyons are up-to-date in their methods and their management of the club leaves nothing wanting. ROBERT SENG ROBERT H. SENG.

WILLIAMS COMPANY, 1208 W. Taylor Street, Chicago, Ill. The Girl Was Not Afraid After two men had failed to do it, owing to hack of nerve, Miss Ellie Moody of Ruport, near here, to-day climbed an eighty-foot slender ladder to a windwheel and repaired the wheel. It was out of order, and her father sent his gardeners to fix it. Each climbed about half way up when they lost heart and descended, the high wind shaking the ladder so badly they wilted. Miss Moody, who saw them, pushed them aside, daringly clung the slender ladder herself and calmly descended, cheered by a large number of people who witnessed her feat. No Doubt on That Point. At school during the nature study how one of the brightest little fellows in his class was asked by the teacher to name three cold blooded animals. After a moment's hesitation he said, "A polar bear, a walrus and a seal." The teacher amied and said, "Johnny, this time you did not get it quite right, but perhaps you can tell me three minerals," "Oh, yes," the came the quick reply, "vichy, selter and ginger ale." A Tragedy. The blue sea glittered in the spring sunshine. "Dear, if you refuse me," he groaned, kneeling he^are on the white sand, "if you re-raise me I shall die." The beautiful but heartless coquette refused him. The shocked during the Easter holidays of 1846, and yesterday, true to his word, he passed away. Sea Gull Caught in Ohio. Herman Kuth and Harry Kuhman captured a sea gull at Swift Run lake here to-day. The bird was wounded and could not fly, and the boys caught it in the water by means of a boat. It put up a stiff fift. The gull stands eighteen inches high and measures thirty-six inches from tip to tip. Such birds were never known to be this far inland before. Shot the Oldest Eagle A golden eagle, supposed to be the oldest ever captured in this locality, was shot by George Bates in the Crow Creek district. From the tail feathers of the bird and other characteristics Curator Adams of the state normal school believes the bird at least seventy-five years old. It measured over six feet from tip to tip, and will be mounted. MINNEAPOLIS DOINGS IN AND ABOUT THE GREAT "FLOUR CITY."

"Just forty years ago," said T. E. Newton, a Chicago railroad man, "the Chicago & Alton road put on the first dining car ever operated on any railway train in the world. This was on the run between Chicago and St. Louis. If that car could be exhibited now it would create universal merriment. It had oilcloth table covers, the seats were screwed to the floor, and its illumination depended on candles. "Think of the contrast between that primitive affair of 1888 and the modern dining car, finished in solid mahogany, with gorgeous woodwork, with cooking and cooking as dainty as that supplied by any of the foremost hotels of America. Verly, we have been 'going some' in the four decades that have gone by since the Alton's first crude experiment." --- LOG CABIN CANE AND MAPLE SYRUP Towle's Log Cabin Maple Syrup.
