William Pickens, the Negro who won the junior exhibition prize at Yale, has been asked to become the head of a new Afro-American republic to be established in Hayti, says a New York World dispatch from New Haven, Conn. In his oration which won the prize Picken discussed Hayti's freedom and declared against it. The scheme is to effect a conquest of the island of Hayti by American Negroes and to set up a government Utopian in character. The junta of the movement is at Sturgie, Ky., and the correspondent of the society is N. L. Musgrove. He asks that Pickens act as secretary and beard member in this section, and says that the Yale would eventually be chosen as president of the society. It is also suggested that he tuse the lecture platform and raise fund for the organization. Pickens, when seen, said that he had the matter under consideration, and would seek advice before enlisting his services in the matter. In discussing the plan he said: "Innovations and novelties in the methods of government are proposed after Hayti has been overcome. While the government would be republican in its political formation it would be administrated as a gi WICHITA. KANSAS. JUNE 6 1903.

STRABEWRRY At Hartman Thursday night Given by the Tw Remarkable Career of Capt. Ford Manufacturer—Business Succ Man's Aliotted Sp This city is the cradle of the plate-glass industry of the United States, says an Albany (Ind.) special to the Indianapolis Sentinel. The first polished plate-glass manufactured in the country is still in use in the front window of a New Albany clothing store. There are two plates, each about 6x14. Capt. John B. Ford, who erected here the first factory in the United States for the manufacture of polished plate-glass and whose name is a household word throughout Southern Indiana, is still living at 91 years of age, at Tarentum, Pa. He came originally from Kentucky, and located at Greenville, near here. He was a "natural born" inventor and invented and manufactured a machine for chopping straw. He soon moved to New Albany, where he built steamboats. His attention was attracted by a little factory at Lenox, Mass., which was manufacturing a crude form of rough plate-glass for skylights. He set his wits to work and designed the first machinery for the manufacture of polished plate-glass. This machinery was made at New Albany foundries. He interested his cousin, Washington C. De Pauw, a man of large means, and they operated the first plate-glass manufactory, which was a huge success, but they could not agree as to business policy, and Ford sold his interest to De Pauw. Ford then established factories at Louisville and Jeffersonville, which failed. Capt. Ford's history from this time furnishes the most remarkable instance on record of a man building up an immense fortune in his old age. He was 78 years old when he started for New York, but was smooth-shaved soon. Green the state the least AT THE Major Taylor, the bicyclist, is still riding in excellent form in Australia.

He did not have money enough to buy his railroad ticket. He arrived in New York pennilless, but his wonderful genius for organization enabled him to interest big New York capitalists, who furnished the money with which he built and put in operation two immense plate-glass factories—one at Tarenum and the other at Creighton, Pa. Later he founded Ford City, sixty miles east of Pittsburg, establishing there a factory employing and introducing all modern accessories. About four years ago he sold his factories, which were all in his own name, to the plate-glass trust for $10,000,000, and he has been living in retirement since. He was the first man in the United States to discover that natural gas could be used as fuel for manufacturing purposes. He built his factory at Tarentum alongside a coal bed, expecting to use it for fuel. His workmen, in making soundings, discovered gas, and he was not long in harnessing the new fuel and making it do his work. In his long career of large manufacturing endeavors he never had a strike, because he always paid the highest wages that could be paid in the business. It is difficult for New Albany people to realize that the old man who left here without a penny, borrowing money to buy his railroad ticket, is now a multi-millionaire. He is afflicted with cancer, which will soon end his career. He has built at Greenville, Ind., his old home, one of the finest Methodist churches in the state, and his other bequests within the last two years amounted to at least $500,000. 7c per Much Damage Done to Property. Jefferson Martin said to be the oldest colored man in Mississippi, is dead. He lived in the Vaughan's Station neighborhood in Yazoo county, and claimed to be 101 years of age, which is doubtless authentic, he was an old man as far back as men who have now passed the meridian of life can remember. The years seem to rest lightly on his shoulders, however, as he had changed but little during the past 50 years. It was one of the boasts of the old man that he had never been in a court room or on a witness stand during his life, and that he had never been accused of doing a wrongful act. He was a faithful servant, and since he was freed from slavers showed the same fidelity to the family of his master that he had displayed prior to the war. Many white citizens attended the funeral and decorated the grave with flowers. X X X Porter Industrial College, at Somerville, Texas, is a new movement in Texas.

Mr. Wiley Jones, a colored resident of the Indian Territory, is rated at $65,000, all acquired, by his own thrift. He is said never to have attended school. Had he received the advantages of a good education there is no telling to what lofty heights this nature endowed man would have seached on the ladder of fame. Ths new Liberian minister, Rev.

The flood situation in Wichita this week was the worst ever recorded in the history of the present generation. To say little, the situation was, at one time, extremely alarming. Last Wednesday, May 27th, both the Big and Little Arkansas rivers began to creep from their banks and by Thursday night they were well along their way up the hills along their banks. The scene of destruc ion by high water was transferred this year from the northeast part of the city to the west and northwest part. All along the route of the Little River the water played sad havoc. While there was no loss of life, yet the loss of property will aggregate into thousands of dollars. And what makes the loss more keen is the fact that it came to the lot of people who were less able to sustain it. From 22nd and Arkansas avenue to where the Little river empties into the Big river at West Third street and Waco was a solid mass of swift running water. Many foundations were inundated and the track of the flood will go down in history as the most memorable in the since 1877. The city officials did much to alleviate the condition—but all was to no avail. Much credit must be given Mayor Ben McLean and Mr. Charles L. Davidson, chairman of the Improvement Committee of the city council—both gentlemen did all in their power. While the heavy incessant rains all over the west for the past 40 days did doubly its portion to make the flood more serious this year, yet many of the residents of the north end are of the opinion that the dam at the park also did its part to make she flood more serious. None who witnessed the floods in Wichita in 1903 will soon forget them. X X X Robt. E.

When Negroes learn to operate stores, insurance companies, banks, street railways, corporations of all kind, the so-cailed problem will be nearer solution. The colored pe2- ple of Washington, nearly 1,000,000 in number, who boast of intelligenc and wealth have @ magnificent op- portunity to show what they can do along “business line. Where are your grosery stores, dry good stores and banks? The Jews and Gentiles have all the Negroes’ money; and will not employ a young colored man or a young colored woman in any capacity, as menial.

Many of these homes have been asquired by self privation and hard work on the part of its owner end is certainly entitled to asmueh protection as homes in any othes part of ous city. We trust that the city officials may be able soon to find some means by which they can offer relief to these wortby people. An examination of the beoks of the books of the present coumty clerk, Johu M. Chaia, discloses the fact that Mr. Chain has saved to the tax payers of the ceunty more money than his salary during. the time he has been in office.

May 29.—The Grand Jury of the U.S. court at Montgomery has found an indictment against Robt. N. Franklin, a white citizen of Goodwater, Ala., chargng him with havig sold one Joe Patterson a negro, to J. W. Pace, a land owner of Telapoosa county, in a condition of peonage or involuntary service. The negro borrowed $1 from Franklin promising to pay it back the next day. He failed to do so. He was arrested, convicted and fined for obtaining money under false pretenses before a magistrate. He was sold for $25 to a Mr. Hardy who worked him for a year. Then he was sold for $40 to a Mr. Pace who has been working him since for a year. This is only one of many such cases. Secret Service men are working up the cases. It is said that many more negroes are still in bondage in three or four counties of this state. The magistrate fines negroes, have some one to pay their fine and work them, all time having a guard over them all day and lock them up at night. They are sometimes brutally whipped. Franklin is in jail The selling, bartering and holing the negro in slavery grows more prevalent each year in the South. Only a few weeks ago the press gave out the fact that negroes were being held in the mines of Alabama. Now comes a case bearing judicial approval of a man sold into slavery two yeas for $1 which he borrowed. What is further needed to completely full the Negro's cup of misery and degradation. It has been only a year or such matter ago when the stockades of South Carolina gave up her scores of negroes who had been stolen and carried into slavery. Can we do nothing about these things?

When they "suspect" that a village contains bombs they simply destroy the place to make sure. William K. Vanderbilt says that inherited wealth is death to ambition. Possibly—to men of the type whose ambition would in any case end with wealth. "A dozen college youths smothered in girls," says a news dispatch from St. Paul. What have college boys ever done to merit such sweet concentration? Some men don't know enough to go in out of the rain, and women whose ankles are becoming to them sometimes know enough not to go in out of the rain. Learning that "A Hot Time in the Old Town" is our national anthem and battle hymn, Frau Wagner greatly fears that "Parsifal" will be vulgarized in America. The dome of the capitol at Washington is receiving a coat of paint, for the first time in nine years. This seems to put the finishing touch on the country's prosperity. A New Jersey woman left $50 for the purpose of a jollification over her corpse. The jollification was duly held, and the crowd got gloriously full with the drinks that were "on the dead." A Pennsylvania congregation recently asked Mr. Carnegie for $1,000 toward the purchase of a new organ—in fact, of a "kist o' whustles." Mr. Carnegie's reply was short, sweet and Scotch: "I wull." A whole lot of anxiety has been dispelled by the announcement that the end of the world is not due until 2914. That leaves us all plenty of time to wind up our business affairs and lay out our best clothes. Perhaps the ladles, too, will take an interest in the trouble in the Balkans when they learn that it is sending up the price of attar of roses, the making of which is one of the principal industries of Bulgaria. Frank Sallen of Marlboro, Conn., won a prize of $50 by sawing 17 cords of hard wood in five hours. This is believed to be the record, but if you have any doubt about it you can get a woodpile and a saw and try it. The editor of the Hartford Post has had a sad experience. "One of the meanest feelings that man ever suffered," he says, "is when he wakes up from a snooze in church and suddenly realizes that folks are watching him." na Well written, original stories.

Now that it is safely adjourned, the announcement is made that there is a surplus of $2,000,000 in the state treasury. The fines of the beef packers, with costs added, will put $27,136.75 into the Missouri state treasury. The money has already been collected by the packers from the people.
