SATURDAY JULY 15,1899, one of the dailies a long account of the marital troubles of Clement B. Wolfe, white, an employe of the gov ernment at Washington, who is be ing sued by his wife, Nellie J. Wolfe, for maintenance and support In an swer to her, complaint, he charges her with adultery, cruel and inhuman treatment, coarse and profane lan guage and publicly threatening his life, etc. But the worst feature in the case seems to be the fact that after living with her for years and having two children by her he has discovered that her grandfather was a full-blood ed Africari and this is the main cause of all her'badness. In the same paper there was a detailed account of the Mrs. James Maybrick case which has been the talk of two continents for many months. She was false to her marital vows, treated her husband with systematic inhumanity and final- ly wound up by killing him by feeding him arsenic. For this she was sen- tenced to death bit the sentence was A- ppppp? _ A woman may say ,all. sorts of un- Consistency thou are a jewel,", kind things about her husband, but which it seems many people do not she issanot true blue if she lets any one possess. A few days ago we read in la M ftp' afterwards commuted to life impris onment, but for a long time every pos-* sible effort has been made to secure her pardon, and even now our Am- bassador, Choate, and other high Eng- lish dignitaries are doing all in their power to secure her release. What made her so bad? There is not the slightest intimation that she has any African blood coursing through her veins to make her so. W. W. Boyd, of St. Louis, in an ad- dress before the Christian Endeavor convention said: "If Christ were in the South and his mother, wife or daughter were outraged by a negro brute, would he resent it?" We pre- sume he would, whether the outrage was committed in the South, or in the North, or by a "negro brute," or any other sort of brute. But would the crime be any worse or call any more loudly for resentment because com mitted by a "negro brute?" Christ is reputed to be no respecter of per- sons. We do iiot object to the legal punishment of brutes, but we do ob- ject to lynching of any sort of brutes, by mobs of greater brutes than their victims. Poor Peter Jackson, who has made many thousands in the squared circle and was at one time perhaps the best man in the world from a pugilistic standpoint, has let riotous living rob him of everything but his life, which is not worth much. Last week a bene- fit was given to him in San Francisco which netted him about $300, with which he will pay his passage to Eng- land. Jackson is a has-been. George Dixon still holds his title of feather- weight champion of the world and has just won another battle. Yet he'd better take warning from Jackson. Frills are so fashionable tnat a.wom an can be forgiven if her temper gets ruffled at times. The woman who% doesn't own any furs is spared the worry about moths destroying them. There are none in the world ready to confess that their influence by any possibility could be bad. A man never fully realizes the joys of home until he sits at his own table and criticises his wife's cooking. The tinkle of the ice in the pitcher is the pleasantest music when the ther mometer is on the upward move. Some persons are so perverse that they do not enjoy strawberries when they come within their purse range. The stage-struck girl receives a se vere shock when she sees for the first time some popular matinee idol off the stage. The greatest offense you can give the really hospitable woman is to fail to eat heartily of the food she sets be fore you. A woman carried away by her emo tions generally discovers that the same conveyance is not to be had to bring her back. A man glorifies a woman's freckles into beauty spots until he marries her, when he soon tells her the candid truth about them. ^:::v:v the It is bard luck to see the new moon 9v4rA 1%&g "r in SOME POPULAR SUPERSTITIONS.

ADDRESS TO THE NATION Adopted by the "National Afro-Amer ican Council at Washington, D, C, Dec. 30, 1SOS. In the present cpWition of ten face, which is abnormally disturbed in' on* .section of the country and comparatively eftmposed in the other three, it is easy to reach the conclu sion that we cannot arrive i* the desired ends "wholly through any one method. There are certain things which thoea of us who live in the South can accomplish, and certain other things which -those ef us who live in the North can accomplish. We may take differ ent methods to reach tevecame ends, but the results will be for tne &^unon advantage. In the North the wvi-j of agitation, of test and petition1 Sosedwte ai -politica conductpro- is essential to the Jpuiti** The Northern and Western mind needw e constantly agitated upon our grievances and accurately informed as to their nature -i*tent. In the South the work of educate* and internal develop* ment can best be determined and carried on by the wise men of us in the Southern states who have done so much since the War of the Rebellion to pave the way for our future status as men and citizens in all the walks of life. We think that it I important& that th:s jfcoals not be los sight of view of the matter1 for a moment. We must-be-brdil liberal in our policy and interpretatieMai* CM intentions of all ^members of~the|a| #$0 h.ave^csacitynd probity, and who ar* vmfflwg for the general good. The vast extent* yur country and the multiplicity of intre#a the local preju dices of any sort, outgrowing from phenom enal ethnic differentiawp*, which must have proper time for inevit**** nssimlliation, makes imperative a broad tatOTfction among us of wide difference of opiM*B as to the best ways and means to secure tit* *est results in given localities, which must s*fttermine the final result for weal or WM So much of a genem' ***racter may be ac cepted without sacriaM" one principle of manhocjd or citizen rl^ftf. Jor that would be repugnant to*our senu* absolute justice, to which we adhere *i"9ioui deviation or quibble. As a fair statement mx convictions we affirm it that there it i-h 'toanhood or citizen right guaranteed to VI the federal consti tition which we do not claim and denial of which by state constitutions against which wo do not protest. Passing from abstract statement of senti ment to concrete statement of fact, we have to congratulate ourselves that the race has everywhere grown stronger and stronger in all the elements', of Christian morality, of thrift and of intelligence. There is no con tention here. Friends and foes alike admit it. Those who predicted that we should starve in a condition ofvfreedom have lived to see us produce more and consume more than in a condition of Slavery those who prophe sied that we were incapable of mastering the common rudiments of education have lived to see us fill 200 colleges in the South with anxious students and to supply 25,000 compe tent teachers in the public schools of the South, upon whose competency white super intendents of education passed judgment while our ignorant ministry has been trans formed into one of tne strongest and most intelligent forces for good in the republic, and the high professions of law and medicine and journalism have competent representa tives in every considerable community in the republic, which command the respect and confidence of their fellows. We affirm it as. a' matter of fact, which cannot be refuted, that the Afro-American race is stronger and better today thatt ever before in its history that it is more hopeful, more moral, more religious, more intelligent that it has larger bank deposits, owns more real and personal property, and lives in bet ter homes. As ex-Gov. R. B. Bullock, of Georgia, recently expressed it in the New York .Sun, no people have ever made greater progress in a given length of time. Where it was confidently expected and. predicted that we would become a dependent, pauper race in a condition or freedom, we have proved ourselves a self-sustaining race, producing more cotton and corn and other wealth as freemen to the enrichment of the commerce of the states of the South than was ever dreamed of in the philosophy of the slave master. We appeal to the statistics of cot ton and cereal and mineral production before and since the war to sustain our contention. We have hot produced all the wealth of the South'since the Varwe .haver produced our honest share, produced vastly more as a free man than we' produced as a slaveand, in stead of becoming public charges have be come self-sustaining and reliant citizens, who share in the wealth we have produced and rejoice in it and in he strength the expansion and the glory of the republic, of which we are, as Dr. David Gregg, of Brooklyn, re cently affirmed, among the first families, and in whose past achievement and present glory, in war and in peace, we claim, by right of honest labor and sacrifice and devotion, a co equal share and participation. It seems to us strange and unnatural that we should have to turn from the magnificent record we have made as slaves and freemen. i in peace and in war, to specific grievances which go at the very roots of our citizenship, and to anpeal from the injustice and inhu manity of a portion of our fellow citizens to the justice and fairness andi Christian char ity inherent in th$ heart and the soul of the great American people. But we have to do so. We do it with a confidence born of Christian faith and.250 years of education in American law and^precedent that we shall not appeal in vain. We have lived in darker hours than those of today we have se^n American justice^and fair play gp through 9re and death ana devastation and ctm out purified by the faith that abides in the God of Destiny, and we expect to see it do so again. Our optimism is as expansive as American love of justice and fair play. And when properly appealed to, when properly aroused, we do not believe that the world can furnish a sublimer reply than it can and will give. And we do not look to one oec Jtion for, a response but to all sections, and especially to the South where we know that we have friends who have been tried in the furnace of experience and found true, and who will be faithful in the future, as they have been in the past, if we shall be true to ourselves, true to the God who brought us out of the Egypt of slavery into the Judea of freedom. But no race has ever risen out of the shad ows into the sunlight without fierce oppo sition. We have .been no exception to the rule. And all the way to the top of the lad der, where Daniel Webster declared there was plenty of room, however long.it takes and time, is the most important factor in the economy of God in working out the destiny of races .and nationswe shall encounter fierce antagonising but we shall win in the end, for we shall have God and justice and fair .play on our side. In view:of the present condition of affairs in which .we find ourselves we beg to direct attention to the following facts: 1. Since 1868-there has been a steady and persistent determination to eliminate us from the politics of the Southern states. We are not to be eliminated. Suffrage is a federal guaranty, and not a privilege to be conferred or withheld by, the states. We are not op legitimate restriction of the suffrage, ut insist that restrictions shall apply alike to all citizens of all states. We are willing to accept an educational or property qualification, or both. We insist that neither of these was Intended -or is -conserved bv the new constitutions of Mississippi, South Caro lina, or Louisiana 'Their framers intended and" did disfranjlnfie' a majority of their citi zenship becaus^roff "race, color, and previous condition," and?.-it therefore call upon'the congress to featjbe. the representation of those, states in the. congress, as provided and made mandatory by section 2 of article XIV. of the constitutions We call upon Afro-Amer icans everywhere to resist by all lawful means the determihatiori'*to deprive them of their suffrage rights. Ifj it is necessary to acconf plish this vital purpose to divide their vote to" a given state wparty advise that they The shibboleth of $rZ taWte M*.taBBssaaaassasar divideoit.y must give wa the shibboleth of self-preservation. 2. The increase of mob and lynch law in the republic must be a source of regret and grief to every law-abiding citizen. It has become a source of reproach at home a*nd abroad. We feel that this cancer on the body politic is breeding a contempt for law which will spread over the whole body of the nation unless a stop be put to it. The re cent outbreaks ofj it in the Carolinas have shocked and disgusted the nation. We regret that the .presidentiof the United States saw fit to treat with.silence this vital matter in his second annual message to congress. Yet we indulge the hop* that he will use his good offices to settle this matter to the satis^ faction of all. concerned and the honor and glory of the nation. 3. The separate car laws have grown to such, provoking proportions, and they are "so unjust, degrading,, and oppressive in their operations, that Me deem it urgent to direct attention' to ttebf^ere.: urgdecency, and advise, JusticWe and that in the interest of! the graduated passenger rate prevailing in North OaroHna b8 substituted for the In famous .stem now in force in most of the other states of the South.

The reading matter in most of the lessons of this volume is longer thsn in the first book.

Guer ber, author of Story.of the Chosen People, Story of the Greeks, Story of the Romans, Story of the Thirteen Colonies, etc. Cloth, 12mo, 332 pages, Illustrated. Price 65 cents. American Book Company, New York, Cincinnati, Chicago. In this book the author aims to make the history of our country from the framing of the'Constitution down to the present day as interesting and in structive to children as possible. In order to do this in the most effective way, important events have been treated not as mere historical facts, but as the deeds of living men. Many stories and anecdotes are introduced at intervals throughout thebook, thus giving it a distictly personal tone The children are thus made familiar with on greatest men. whom it is hoped they will learn to love, honor, and emulate. The admirers of popular music have an ample range of subjects and styles to choose from in the issues forJune, almostevery phase of musical and lyrical composition being represented. Those sentimentay llinclined will find much to please them in 'The Old Home I Loved Long Years Ago." [R. M.
