SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1901. We would like to know where color prejudice is leading the whites of this country? Fred Alexander, a mulatto of Leavenworth, Kan., was deliberate ly burned at the stake in the presence of 8,000 people, without protest bn their part. No one in all that crowd KNEW the man to be guilty of the ATTEMPT to assault Miss Eva Roth* and no one KNEW he had anything to do with the murder of Pearl Forbes, yet the foul murder was committed without a single protest becauseand for no other reasonthe victim had a visible mixture of African blood in h}s composition. While the prepara tions for his murder were in progress, even while his murderers were pouring oil over his person, preparatory to the torture they intended putting him to, and with his last breath he proclaimed his innocen'ce'of the crimes with which he was charged. He knew he was to die, that there was no escape, and tp.^almost. instantly This picture of Queen Wllhelmbia and her betrothed is from the first photcgraph of the royal pair which has been taken. Queen Wilhelmina's wedding gown will be a thing of beauty and splendor. Woven especially in Lyons and cut in Paris, it has been sent to Amsterdam to be em broidered by the pupils of the art school appear before the Judge of all the world, yet he still said he was not guilty. The ante inortem statements of human beings are usually credited with being truth, so why not in this case? To the credit of the Kansas legislature be it said that a joint reso lution was i passed deploring and con demning the Ijeavenworth lynching. The resolution favors a most rigid in vestigation of all the acts and circum stances attending the lynching, and demands that the perpetrators be pun ished to the full extent of the law. Last week we had occasion to say -something in regard to the old rebel feeling which exists in the South and will exist until every old rebel is dead, and this week we find another in ?tance of it in Kentucky. It seems the trustees of the Lincoln Memorial School at Cumberland Gap, Tenn., lave had a division and some of them lave started a rival college, calling it he Jefferson Davis Memorial School.

WOMAN'S POINT OF VIEW. to The far-seeing man is not apt rush into things blindly. The girl with pretty shoulders is not apt to disapprove of decollete gowns. The well-dressed woman never adopts the exaggerations of fashion. One of the best compliments a man can pay a woman is to say she is "stylish." More than one woman keeps a "best dress" hanging on hooks until it is out of style. Why is it that the things we can't get always seem so much more de sirable than the things we have? Judging from the way they talk, there area good many people in this world who could give Providence a hint or two oh how to run the uni verse.Philadelphia Times. LITTLE CLASSICS.

Among the new books to be issued by Rand, McNally & Co. this fall are "El Reshid" and "Some Philosophy of the' Hermetics," both from the pen of Paul Karishka. Mr. Karishka has been a deep student of the law of being, and these books are the result of his observations. The publishers expect that Mr. Davis' war book, "With Both Armies in South Africa," to appear at once, will create con siderable discussion, from the fact that, having gone to the scene of operations with the British forces, and with British sympathies, Mr. Davis afterward joined the Boers and, in the light of the experi ence he thus gained, became a strong par tisan of therftoer cause and a severe critic of the British.

SheWhy, have you those loops -n the reins, George? "Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois," edited by Newton Bateman, L. L. D., and Paul Selby, A. M., (Munsell Publishing Company, Chicago and New York), is a great royal octavo of 608 closely printed pages. It is printed in clear-faced type, full gilt, with handsomely designed morocco covers, with many excellent illustrations, showing the Illinois of the past as well as the State as it is to-day. But the value of the book is in its mine of information, wherein the topics are arranged in ad mirable order for easy reference. While Illinois does not date back to the earlier great events of the republic, yet her his tory is unique, and we may say, without disparagement to any, that it stands in the front of the States of the great West. It is in Illinois that the first white settle ment was made northwest of the Ohio river, wherefore the State was thus the pioneer in Western civilization, and has continued to hold its advanced position through all the years since. Well may the editors emphasize "its steadfast loyalty and patriotism, the marvelous development of its resources, the number of distinguished statesmen, generals, and jurists it has furn ished to the government, and its grand record in the exciting and perilous con flicts on the slavery question." It was in Illinois that the anti-slavery battle was fought and won, before the marshalled hosts of 1861 entered the field. There" are over 1,200 biographical sketches of persons who have been or still are prominent in Illinois. They include those of pioneers, explorers, State officers, Congressmen,other public officers.and professional and business men of prominence. Besides the biogra phies there are brief sketches of all coun ties and of all cities or villages exceeding 500 population. Then there are longer ar ticles on many historic, educational, topo graphical, and other subjects. Upon the whole, the work fully mei'its the dignity of its title. The publishers are entitled to the thanks of those interested in State history for their enterprise in bringing out so complete and handsome a volume. BOOKS RECEIVED.

Manual Training the Chief Factor in education. By Charles H. Ham, being the Third Edition of "Manual Training the Solution of Social and Industrial Problems." Cloth, 12 mo., 490 pages, illustrated. Price, $1.25. Amer ican Book Company, New York, Cincinnati and Chicago. Manual training is now recognized as a most important factor in education as it gives a true. dignity to and calls attention to the place of hand-work in human progress. As civiliza tion goes on it will undoubtedly have a higher and still higher place in the hearts of the people. Mr. Charles H. Ham was one of the first and foremost advocates of introducing manual training into our public schools and to him has been due in a great measure the remarkable suc cess of this system throughout the coun try. WOMAN'S POINT OF, VIEW. There is such a thing as being too unselfish. It is a wise woman who knows more than she tells. Luck seldom comes to the man who is looking for it. How about that diary you started in to keep last January? A woman can have no higher ideal in life than to be good. The small boy is announcing what he expects for Christmas. To every dozen people who preach economy there is one to practice it. Bad temper not only wrinkles thf. face, but it wrinkles the heart as well. The kind things you mean to say when people are dead, say before they die. Never give away a present that you feel you would rather keep for your self. You can tell a great deal about a woman's tastes from the perfume she uses. What some people think they don't know isn't to be found in the encyclo pedia. It doesn't take much coaxing to start some people to singing their own praises. Parents who want their children to be polite must have good manners themselves. If one half the world knew how the other half lived what a lot of surprises there would be. Judging from their conversation, an idea must feel very lonely in some people's heads. Each person always thinks his own troubles just a little bit harder to bear than anyone else's. "Never be the first to adopt anew fashion, nor the last to leave the old,'* is,a safe rule to follow. The ideal marriage is when a man, after five years of matrimony, can still give thanks for his wife. The average girl judges of the merix of a cup of chocolate by the amount of whipped cream there is on top. There are times when every- woman needs a course, of moral massage to take the wrinkles off her heart. You can't judge of the amount of money in a pocketbook by the amount of gold trimming there is on the out side. Lots of servants believe that if lady with red hair should happen to call on the mistress of the house on a rainy day, it is a sign that they will soon receive "two weeks' notice." To talk about Prince Charming may be all very well, but a girl stands a, much better chance of matrimonial happiness if she picks out a plain, everyday man, who can earn enough to pay the rent and store hills. Many a girl, when she first falls in love with a man, seems to feel ag grieved if he manages to exist with any degree of comforT or pleasure when out of her presence.Philadel phia Times. The inexperienced maid wants to be a man's first love, but the wise wid ow prefers to be his last. Fully two-thirds of a woman's trou bles result from reasoning with her heart instead of her head.
