SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1902.
President Roosevelt's speech on Me
morial Day certainly stirred up the
Southern lynchers, though he did not
refer to any section, their guilty con
sciences made them squeal like stuck
pigs. And from the number of lynchr
ings which have taken place this week
in the South it would ,seem that he
would have been justified in referring
directly to it. The St. Paul Pioneer
Press, referring to the speech of the
president and its reception by the
South says among other things:
There is something more serious in
this criticism of the president for his
references to a shameful practice.
The spirit in which his utterances
have been accepted indicates that
there is a very general callousness to
the inherent savagery of lynching
bees. No one undertakes to defend
these practices, but instead of accept
ing the denunciation as deserved the
journals alluded to have undertaken,
unconsciously in all probability, to
obscure its,justice by treating it as a
partisan and sectional utterance. As
if it were a matter of politics when
human beings black or white are sum
marily consigned to death by howling l^d^--^VVfitYlthe.

mitted by 500 men than when com
mitted by one man, and those who by
hanging or by fire do a fellow man
to death without granting him a fair
and impartial trial are not less guilty
of his blood because they escape pun
ishment. To raise a false issue when
the one man in the nation whose voice
is likely to be heard in the benighted
and barbarous communities that resort
to lynching has the wisdom to de
nounce such outrages is to minimize
the effects of that denunciation, to lend
encouragement to the savages who
condone lynching and to furnish' a
fresh incentive to the continued perpe
tration of these crimes. The spirit
in which President Roosevelt's speech
has been received in the South, though
it was not intended for that section
more than for the North or the West,
shows that it was most needed there.
The people of Georgia have just
been treating a colored man with dis
tinguished consideration. He deliv
ered the commencement address at a
Caucasian seminary in Milledgeville
and at Atlanta a committee headed by
the mayor escorted him to the Carne
gie library where a public reception
was, held. Nearly 3,000 prominent At
lanta Caucasians shook hands with
him.. Even the young ladies of the
high school and several private semi
naries were, on hand to do him honor.
It is needless to state that this col
ored man was not of the Negro va
riety. It was Wu Ting-fang, the Chi
nese minister, to the United States.
Mr. Wu is yellow but he has strong
government behind him.
The yellow American who acknowl
edges that he has Negro blood in his
veins receives ^ut scant courtesy in
Atlanta.. He is not even allowed to
visit the public library unless he goes
as a servant to get books for a Cau
casian.
Our old home Louisville, Ky., accord
ing to an article in the Marine ^Jour
nal uses less water per capita than
any other city in America, the average
consumption being but, 50 gallons per
day. Buffalo uses 440 gallons per day
for each inhabitant. Chicago and Phil
adelphia -come next to Buffalo,with a
consumption of 200 gallons per per
son. Milwaukee and St. Louis with
their big breweries use about 150 gal
lons per, day for each oerson. We
knew Louisville folks liked their good
home-made whisky, but we thought
they took water enough, on the side,
as well as for other purposes, to make
the consumption greater.

FROM SLAVERY.
Up From Slavery. By Booker T. Wash
ington. $1.50. New York: Doubleday
Page & Co.
Up From Slavery" by Prof. Booker T.
Washington is a remarkable volume by a
remarkable man., Autobiographical writing
is a dangerous enterprise at best, and should
never be undertaken except by the great
men of earth. That Prof. Washington be
longs to the class of-great men of onr time,
requires neither testimony nor proof, for, it
is one of the accepted facts.
In writing of the place and date of his
birth he says: I was born on a planta
tion in Franklin County, Virginia. I am
not quite sure of the exact date of' my
birth, but at any rate I suspect I must have
been born somewhere and at sometime."
There is conscious humor in this sentence,
a spice of wit, and the delicate sarcasm of
a great man, protesting against the insti
tution of slaverythat institution which
had made it impossible, either for himself
or Frederick Douglass to know the exact day
of birth.
Later on he says that he does not know
who his father wasbut that he knew that
he was a white man.
"My life had it's beginning in the midst
of the most miserable, desolate, and dis
couraging surroundings" I was
born in a typical log cabin, about fourteen
by sixteen feet square. In tlus cabin 1
lived with my mother and a brother and
sister 'till after the Civil War, when we
were all declared free." I
An account of his boyhood daysthe
struggle of his mother and elder brother
for the common necessities of life is nar-i
rated in a simple manner which forms the
real charm of Mr. Washington's literary
style. This volume however possesses a
charm higher than that of any style, for
it portrays the kaleidoscopic changes in the
upward toiling career of a youth, who
started at an early age on a tramp to the
Hampton Industrial Institute, in search
of an education with boundless hope and
almost infinite patience as his only assets.
On this unknown voyage over hill and dale
the youthful enthusiast finally reached a
city /called Richmond, where he arrived
hungry, friendless and penniless. He says:
"I nmst have walked the streets till after
midnight. At last I became so exhausted
that I could walk no longer. I was tired,
I was"-hungry, was every thing but dis
couraged. Just about the time that I
reached extreme physical exhaustion, I
came upon a portion of a street where the
board side walk was considerably elevated.
I waited for a few minutes till I was sure
no passers-by could see me, and then crept
under the sidewalk and lay for the night
upon the ground." Mr. Washington-then re
lates that the nest day he went, down to
the river and obtained work from the
captain of a ship, who was unloading a
cargo of pig iron that his work so pleased
the captain that he continued to work for
him a number of days, sleeping under the
sidewalk every night, economizing in order
to save money to help him reach Hampton.
He says that many years afterwards he
tendered a public reception by the
citizens of Richmond in a church, not far
from the spot where he had slept upon the
ground. That he has also at the invitation
of friends been a guest in a Saratoga hotel,
where he was formerly employed as a wait
er.
He writes a very entertaining chapter on
the ^"Reconstruction Period," and discusses
in a very comprehensive and practical man
ner the race problem at the Souths I is
however, writing of himself and of his
early struggles that we find Mr. Washing
ton at his best, and note distinctly that
patience under^adversit-y, untiring industry
and optimism'of a rarely encountered char
acter, are the qualities which have made
possible the success which has attended the
efforts of the man whom Walter Page, edi
tor of the "World's Work" pronounces, "the
most useful man in the Republic."
Up from Slavery has had a large sale
not only in this country but all over the
world. The work has been translated into
Spanish, German, French, Italian, Arabic.
Hindustani and editions are being prepared
in many other languages.
The story of the life of the little slave
boy who at hte.age of forty .has become
the recognized leader of 10.000,000 of Afro
American people is aHhrilling and inspir
ing narrative although written in simple,
modest style. I truly reveals the unas
suming honest worth of one of the greatest
men the world has ever known.

Matthe ws is one of the very interesting
volumes dealing with conditions in "Th
pearl of the Antilles" since the American
occupation, which has been given to the
public.
So much has been written about the*
peoples, climate and resources of tlie
island that it is not within the range of
expectations to find any new light In
these directions. It is therefore with ab
sorbing interest that we read the story
of the rehabilitation of the island under
American auspices as told by Mr. Mat
thews. says: 'r'Not less important
than cleaning the streets, purifying the
harbor and sewers, protecting, the water
supply, and putting all public works- in
proper order in J3avana, was the task of
cleaning the city from the inside, the
work of purifying the buildings of even'
grade in town. Inside thousands of dwell
ings were "black holes" in a frightful con
dition. Th wails of thousands of build
ings were the abiding places of germs of
yellow fever and other infectious dis
eases."
Mr. Matthe ws then tells of the scientific
mann er in which the sanitation of the
city was accomplished under Major Jno
G. Davis, a Chicago physician of larg
practice and wide reputation, and that
not one single house in the city of Havana
escaped the inspection of his corps of
physicians or failed to conform with Vhe
requirements of Major Davis. "Large
qantities of quicklime, and a solution of
chloride of lime were used. Then -came
coats of paint or whitewash."
Then followed a vanishing death rate,
until Havana today is practically free
from its former scourge of yellow fever.
The next work of great importance per
formed by the American authorities was
the installation of an honest customs serv
ice in Cuba and the abolition of bribery
and blackmail.
The work of feeding thousands of starv
ing people by the military authorities is
dwelt upon by the author, who shows that
this was an essential part of the work of
reconstruction arid that had it not been
done, the sanitation of tn large cities
would have been incomplete and ineffec
tive.
The reconstruction of Cuba by the peo
ple of the United States is unique and
interesting as an example of the human
ity of our people. Cuba has been taught
many lessons of vital importance her
welfare and it remains to be seen wheth
er she will profit by them, or sink back
into the ways
ofeth
old Spanish
Idarke does sh will not remain
an independent nationality long.
Oh the 20th of this present month the
ceremony of turning over the Cuban
government to the Cuban people took
place. Th stars and stripes came down

I N THE FOREST.
In the Forest. By Maximilian Foster.
$1.50. New York: Doubleday, Page &
"I the Forest" is a contribution to
the literature of our country of positive
value. This volume contains stories of
wood-life, wherein the statelv deer, the
cunning coyote, the fierce and rugged
bruin speak from the heart of the wilds,
not in the language of nfen, but in the
virile and significant speech of nature
"in her natural and primitive conditions."
Mr. Foster has made a distinct depart
ure from the ordinary stories of forest
life, and unlike Kipling's "Jungle* Stor
ies, has animals simply' act in accord
ance with the imperious law of nature,
and do not talk.

tion, and in the story of "Legs," the
coyote transported from his western hab
itat to the east to furnish in the chase
amusement and excitement to men and
dogs, one sympathy goes out spontane
ously to this poor beast, struggling at
times against hunger and trusting to his
speed and cunning to save himself from
being torn to pieces by the murderous
pack of hounds at his heels. Time after
time he eluded his tormentors, but his
inevitable finish had to arrive, and when
it did we find ourselves wishing him bet
ter luck. "Soeed was now his only hope."
The climb tff the hilltop was stiff, but it
left the hounds behind. took fresh
hope, but shortlived indeed. They were

the hill came the horsemen, thundering
down the slope., ."Legs" in the midst of
the baying hounds, was fighting' but
weakly to the last. An wh en "th pack
buried him and he struck no more" one
wonders when the brutality of man still
finding pleasure and recreation in the
torture of beasts, will depart. "Legs,"
the Outcast and pariah, obtains our sym
pathy, while his human tormentors merit
nothing but aversion and execration.

The volume is profusely illustrated by
Capl Rungius, and he has interpreted the
authors ideas with an art striking and
picturesque.
EDUCATION AND THE LARGER LIFE.
EducatioY and the Larger Life. By C.

an 4L
Ne
Houghton, Miffli & Co
This is. the title of a book by C.
Henderson which has made its appear
ance this year. Th title suggests a
treatise on philosophy, and one does not
turn over many pages in this interesting
volume before discovering original ideas
elaborated in a clear, striking and con
vincing manner.
Education and ethics, theoretical and
applied, are subjects which have been ex
hausted by the world's greatest philoso
phers and publicists, and one'does not ex
pect to encounter in our time,any new
ideas on such subjects, unless from a
world-famed, thinker, in the class wi
Aristotle, Plato, Thomas Aquinas, Rous
seau, Spencer.or Emerson. Mr. Hender
son has however, stated' a proposition
about the significance of language, which
so far as we know is entirely original, and
which in our opinion, lays the foundation
for a new grammar of great simplicity
and strength. says: "W may say
that just as human consciousness is the
one experienced reality, so the expression
of this reality is to be found in language.
Logically speaking we Have only three
classes of words, nouns, verbs and con
nectives. Fo convenience of treatment,
the grammars name eight or nine." Th
author then says that the entire phe
nomena of the physical world may be re
solved into three manifestations, "mat
ter, motion and relation," and that since
language is the result of experience with
the material world, "nouns represent
matter, verbsmotion, connectivesrela-
tion."
The author's discussion of cause and ef
fect, youth, the experimental life, the
source of power, and many other subjects
are. treated in a clear and earnest man
ner. WHAT A WOMAN OUGHT TO KNOW.
What a Young Woman Ougnt to Know.
By Mrs. Mary Wood-A lien, M. D. $1. Vir
Publishing Co., 1134. Real Estate Build
ing, Philadelphia.
No one
who reads this admirable book
can be surprised that so many eminent
men and women have given their hearty
commendations and. personal influence to
bring the series of which this book is one
to the general attention of the public.
In this Self and Sex series, the books to
boys and men are written by Sylvanus
Stall, D. D., editor of the Lutheran Ob
server, and those to girls and women,
by Mrs. Mary Wood-Allen, M. D., the
National Superintendent of the Purity
Department of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union. These writings merit
all that has been said in their praise by
the educational, medical, religious and
secular press throughout the country, and
deserve a place in every home.
This book addressed to young women
is divided into three parts. Th value of
the bodyf and its hygiene, the special
physiology and laws of maturity, and the
third wisely and judiciously treats of
love, engagements and marriage. Th
author brings to h? task the training of
a physician, the sympathies of a mother,
and the tact of a wise and judicious writ
er. W should be glad if every young
woman in pur whole land might read this
book and profit by it. I will} equip
young women ts meet the dangers and

THE DELSARTE SYSTEM.
The Delsarte System of Expression.
By Genevieve Stebbins. Edgar S. Wer
ner Publishing Co. Ne York. 507 pp.
$2.
This new revised and enlarged sixth
edition presents the Delsarte System
Americanized up to date. It is a book
for everybody interested in any form of
personal
expression,fonr
teacher, for singer
student and
ad" speaker for
preacher and lawyer, tfor painter and
sculptor. It 500 pages give Delsarte's
address before the Philotechnic Society
of Paris the Delsarte System arranged
in lessons for .class or individual use the
theory and practice of the Delsarte Sys
tem, pantomuie, physical culture, esthe
tic culture, arid statue-posing thirty-two
full-page illustrations of famous Greek
statues.
One of the aims of the Delsarte System
is so to train the body that those mus
cles only that should operate to perform
any given act are used. Lack of physical
culture, or lack of physical/ Control, is
shown by muscles that should not move
in any given act operating, thereby in
terfering with those muscles whose right
ful function it is to perform that given
act. There oan be no grace, no rightful
expression, until this interference is
stopped. Delsarte did a great thing whenS
he taught relaxation as well as tension,
repose as well as action. This law ap
plies to vocal as well as to physical ex
pression.
GRADED PHYSICAL, EXERCISES.
Graded Physical. Exercises. By Bertha
Louise Colburn, 389 pp. Over 150 illus
trations. $1. Ne York: Edgar S. Wer
ner Publishing Co.
It is surprising what a dearth of books
on this subject there is. A visit to one
of the largest publishers of school books
revealed only one work of recent date.
This book will, therefore, supply a long
needed want among public school teach
ers, specialists of physical culture and
those persons desiring a practical system
of physical exercise for the home which
may be self taught. Th first part of
"Graded Physical Exercises" is, as its
name indicates, devoted to a system of
exercises.... to be giyen an ordinary
room without apparatus. Th system is
divided into eight grades, one set for
each year of school life. Each group is
a natural outgrowth from the preceding
one, the principle that only from the fre
quent repetition of a movement benefit
can be derived being carried consistently
out, though each group- is complete in it
self. Th exercise* suited to adult de
velopment begin with Grade V., continu
ing throughout the series. Th system is
not merely theoretical, but it is practical,
having -been tested by the author in six
years' use in public schools and acade
mies. -1
